Celebrating hip-hop legend Ice Cube‘s third studio album, The Predator, Vin Rican is back with the latest installment of ‘Wax Only.’
Released back in 1992, Cube’s album was released within the months of the historical ’92 LA Riots and Wax Only breaks down the timeless samples that helped create the sound of the time’s racial tensions and Cube’s conscious flows.
Vin flips samples from bands like Queen, the Ohio Players, and even the R&B/Soul band The Isley Brothers, which Cube and Producer DJ Pooh sampled for Cube’s hit ‘It Was A Good Day.’
