Ice Cube Net Worth $160 Million

O’Shea Jackson was born on June 15, 1969, in South Central Los Angeles, California. He has been interested in different genres of rap music since his youth and was even writing rap songs by himself in keyboarding class. Although he didn’t study music after school, but studied architectural drafting instead, during this period he was a member of the rap band “N.W.A”, which didn’t increase his net worth, but at least made him a little more famous and experienced. In an interview Jackson once said that he became interested in rap music and meaningful lyrics after a tragic accident happened in his family. While O’Shea still was a teenager, his sister was killed by her boyfriend who then attempted suicide.

However, he wasn’t the only one in his family who was interested in rap music – his cousins Kam and Teren Delvon Jones also shared the same interest. The first deposit into Ice Cube’s net worth was in 1989, when he left his band N.W.A and started a solo career. Soon he became a successful rapper as his album “Kill at Will” became the first album in hip-hop industry to go Platinum and Gold at once. Later O’Shea’s net worth rose one more time after his third album entitled “The Predator”. This CD appeared in stores in 1992 exactly during the riots in Los Angeles. It helped Ice Cube rise to fame even more as “The Predator” topped the charts not only on hip hop, but on pop too. This was a great success for such a young musician as Cube. However, he wasn’t able to release another album which would be as popular as the third one.

Ice Cube today is known not only as a musician, but as a great actor too, which has enabled him to increase his net worth too – he made his debut in the American drama film entitled “Boyz n the Hood” directed by John Singleton in 1991. After that he had an opportunity to play Craig Jones from “Friday”, Desolation Williams from “Ghosts of Mars”, Calvin Palmer from “Barbershop 2: Back in Business” and Darius Stone from “XXX: State of the Union”.

To better understand how rich is Ice Cube, he is usually mentioned together with such rap stars as Dr. Dre, Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg, quite an achievement in this competitive part of the entertainment industry.

Christopher says it was inspired by South coast hip hop – a sub genre of American hip hop music which was locally popular at Shreveport, where Hurricane grew-up. Soon after releasing his debut album, the young rapper released his third single called “Playas Rock” which was produced by Mr. Collipark. The single peaked at number 47 on the Hot R&B chart and number 25 on Hot Rap Tracks. Two years later, in 2009, the rapper released his second album “Unleashed” in the same Southern hip hop style. “Unleashed” peaked at number 46 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 20 on US Top Rap Albums. For the young artist this  was a definite success, but this album failed to produce any hits. However, two singles were released from this album – “Headboard” and “Halle Berry (She’s Fine)”. The “Headboard” single featured the voice of famous American rapper and the founder of label “Big Gates Records” Plies and Mario’s voice.

After his second album Hurricane Chris’ career slowed considerably. “Uneashed” didin’t become as popular as Christopher expected, and he started to work on his third studio album entitled “Showtime: Still 51/50” which should be released on the rapper’s own label “51/50 Entertainment” with “FyreHouse Entertainment”. Because of that Chris tried to work with many different producers like the famous American record producer, rapper and songwriter Shawty Redd, also with DJ Spinz, Phunk Dawg, 1500 or Nothin, Mr. Bangladesh, Seven and others. During the interview with hip hop news website AllHipHop.com on May 25, 2010 Chris mentioned he had changed his third album’s title to “Return of the Hurricane”. On January 2 2013 Christopher started to work on his third album’s promotion. A new mixtape called “Caniac” was released and featured the song “Bend It Over”. Also “Caniac has songs “Go Crazy”, “I Don’t F*ck With Yall”, “Pu**y on Me”, “Down South” and “Ball Hard”. The songs were accompanied by music videos.

In 2014 Christopher Hurricane has released one more single, “Ratchet” which was produced by American DJ and record producer Dijon McFarlane, also known as DJ Mustard. “Ratchet” has become the 6th rapper’s single.
