The man born as Tracy Marrow has become the Grammy winner rap singer, successful entrepreneur and popular television actor the whole world knows as Ice-T. Those accomplishments are impressive, but form only part of the reason that his new memoir makes such compelling reading. Clearly, Ice-T wasn't lying when he added the line "My life's been a great story" to one of his lyrics. Raised as an orphan in South Central Los Angeles, he graduated from high school and a four-year stint in the Army, only to regress to a career as a L.A. thief and hustler. Ice describes his fateful decision to abandon crime and become the dedicated hip-hop artist and human advocate he has become. A riveting autobiography with street cred.
