In 1987, Ice-T finally signed with Sire Records and released his major-label debut, Rhyme Pays, which quickly went gold. His first on-screen appearance came in 1984 when the producers of Breakin' asked him to rap in the film. Friends urged him to take his talents into a recording studio, where he recorded several rap singles. In fact, his nickname was borrowed from the infamous pimp-turned-writer Iceberg Slim. He began rapping about his daily activities while still in high school. Born Tracy Morrow in Newark, New Jersey on February 16th, 1958, he was raised in the ganginfested, pimp-heavy streets of South Central Los Angeles.
