For a while there it seemed to be that being the youngest or the one with the most colorful hair was the ticket to a rap career. Seemingly gone were the days of hip-hop where a good story or an authentic background could do the same. With the rise of acts like Griselda and the staying power of some of rap's original top-shelf artists, that narrative is changing and a name in that conversation is longtime Chicago rapper Iceface. The west side native who dropped a video for his single "Waikiki" last week has been in the game longer than most, with the lessons and headaches to show for it. Back on a new track in life and in music, he's begun relaxing once again over the beat, being himself in a way that truly only Iceface can be. The lo-fi nature of the video here reflects the single itself and sets a dope tone as Ice continues to flood the streets with new music. Keep an eye out for more coming soon.
