{"product_id":"ice-mike-true-2-da-game-1","title":"Ice Mike - True 2 Da Game","description":"SWE in collaboration with Dust \u0026amp; Dope are excited to announce the release of legendary NOLA rapper\/producer Ice Mike's debut \"True 2 Da Game!\" originally released back in 1992 on cassette only. All tracks were taken from the OG DATS to give you top notch quality. Let's get into the album a little deeper... Fresh off the heels of producing for other New Orleans West Bank artists such as Bust Down and Mobo Records, \"True 2 Da Game!\" is the first full-length album from legendary New Orleans hip-hop pioneer Ice Mike. The follow-up to his 1991 debut as a solo artist is almost entirely self-produced (except for some co-production with DJ Lowdown \u0026amp; 8-ball The DJ). The writing, production, scratching, mixing, concepts, vocal and edit arrangements, piano and drum overdubs, and performances were all done by one man - Ice Mike. This feat is more impressive considering Ice Mike arranged and spliced the studio masters by hand with a razor blade and splicing tape, resulting in a level of mixing and editing that most couldn't achieve until digital software was invented for computers. For the first time on vinyl, this edition will come housed in a beautiful gatefold edition and will be limited to only 250 copies.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50773581725991,"sku":"7428470913232","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0849\/6342\/6599\/files\/4092558-2826499.jpg?v=1764634874","url":"https:\/\/shop.xxlmag.com\/products\/ice-mike-true-2-da-game-1","provider":"XXL Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
