Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded in the direct aftermath of the 1992 Los Angeles riots, 'The Predator' is Ice Cube's most commercially successful and intensely angry solo record. The album pairs hard-hitting, sample-heavy boom-bap production with highly aggressive, conscious political rap detailing profound urban tension.
