The man who would become famous as Ice-T was born Tracy Marrow in Newark, New Jersey. Ice-T is known for his raps about street life and violence, as well as his influence on the genre of gangster rap. After losing his parents at a young age, he became involved with inner city crime and hustling. His talent for rhyme saved him from a life on the streets, and he released his debut album, Rhyme Pays, in 1987. His pseudonym, Ice T, is an homage to the legendary pimp and raconteur Iceberg Slim. The rapper also has a career as an actor, most notably playing a detective on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit since 2000.
