Ice Cube, a multi-hyphenate international music, film, and sports legend, has garnered accolades such as recently being honored with a handprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
Rising to fame with N.W.A., he launched a solo career selling tens of millions of albums and co-founded the West Coast supergroup Mount Westmore with Snoop Dogg, E-40, and Too $hort. As a true trailblazer in television and film, through his film and television production company, CubeVision, Ice Cube produced 50 episodes of the hit series 'Hip Hop Squares' for VH1 and MTV, and he produced the award-winning, Oscar-nominated biopic 'Straight Outta Compton,' which grossed over $200 million worldwide.
His films, collectively, have grossed over $1 billion at the box office, with franchises such as 'Friday,' 'Barbershop,' 'Are We There Yet?,' '21 Jump Street,' and 'Ride Along' shaping the landscape of cinema.
As co-founder of the BIG3 basketball league, Ice Cube continues to make an impact, bringing in its first franchise owners, achieving its most-viewed season ever in 2024, and securing groundbreaking partnerships with title sponsors.
He also launched the Ice Cube Impact Award in collaboration with the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, where he was the first recipient. His latest album, Man Down, debuted in the Top 10 on multiple Billboard charts, including Top Rap Albums, and hit #2 on iTunes' Hip-Hop/Rap Chart, proving his enduring influence.

The CA Mid-State Fair takes place July 15–26, 2026 and this year's theme is Back to the '80s.
Iconic rapper, producer, entrepreneur, and cultural pioneer, Warren G, born Warren Griffin III, helped define the G-funk sound and West Coast hip-hop.
Rising from Long Beach in the early 1990s, he cemented his legacy with the multi-platinum hit 'Regulate,' his collaboration with Nate Dogg that peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a generational anthem.
Across three decades, Warren G has sold millions of records worldwide and created a string of hits, including 'This DJ,' 'Nobody Does It Better,' 'I Want It All,' 'Ain't No Fun,' 'Smokin' Me Out,' and 'Do You See.' As a producer, he played a key role on Dr. Dre's The Chronic and Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle, including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-recognized 'Nuthin' but a G Thang.'
Beyond music, Warren G continues to expand his influence as the founder of Sniffin' Griffins BBQ and a stakeholder in the Long Beach Regulators baseball team.
He remains a bridge between classic and modern West Coast hip-hop, collaborating with current artists like Icewear Vezzo, Zoe Osama, and a host of the new generation talent, while touring internationally with Snoop Dogg and DJ Quik.
From major festivals to national television appearances and viral collaborations, Warren G proves the 'Regulator' remains a dynamic force in music, culture, and entrepreneurship.
He is currently in the studio working on G-Funk Chronicles Vol. 1, coming in 2026.
