WHAT THEY SAID
"It's so obvious that the United States is having a shit show right now, to the world" * — that's Ice-T talking to Czech outlet Metalshop TV on August 23, alongside Ernie C, while laying out where Body Count go next *†. He also said the world was in less disarray under Obama *†.
THE DETAILS
- The follow-up to November 2024's Century Media album 'Merciless' has a working title: 'Death Wish' *‡.
- Ice-T said the band is starting from scratch and the record could be at least a year off; timing isn't locked *‡.
- He told the band in a meeting that if they can't beat 'Merciless', they shouldn't put anything out *.
- His solo rap album 'Criminal Migraine' is done and will be sold only through IceT.com, not streaming *.
- Ernie C chalked up the heavier sound to natural evolution; Ice-T credited festival bills with harder bands *.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
'Death Wish' has no release window, and whether Body Count follow Ice-T's no-streaming stance is still unanswered *†‡.
