Earlier this month, Cube confirmed that his follow-up to 2008’s Raw Footage was finalized.
“It’s Complete!,” he wrote this week. “I Am The West is done! See you Sept. 28th.” (Ice Cube’s Blog)
Earlier this month, Cube said that his former N.W.A. groupmate Dr. Dre would not appear on the project despite initial speculation.
“I’m almost done with my record, I AM THE WEST. I’ve been mixing songs and dealing with paperwork all week and I’m down to my last 4 songs to mix. It’s bangin’. I think we’ll end up wit about 15 songs when it’s all said and done and I’m real happy wit it. As a matter of fact, I’m in the Lench Mob Studios writing this blog right now. I’m going to Philly in the morning to promoteLottery Ticket. I get a lot of love in Philly…Go Mike Vick! Many asked about Dr. Dre working on my album. Negative, Dre has been M.I.A. for a few months now. I asked Snoop has he heard from him and he said, no. I can’t wait. I gotta turn my sh*t in by Aug. 20th to make street date…Sept 28th. I’ll keep you posted if anythang new develops.” (Ice Cube)
Despite not linking with Dre for his album, Cube recently said he would be featured on the producer’s upcoming Detox project.
“Dre is a master. What’s cool about working with Dre is he stays the same. Everyone else change and trip, but I remember working with Dre back when we just in the garage. Just the two of us. And he works the same way. Don’t come up with an empty palette, bring a lot of ideas to the plate…He’s making a great record. I’m on it. I’m proud to be, I can’t wait to get back to L.A. to get back in the studio with him. I’m trying to get a few tracks for my record I Am The West that’s coming out…” (All Hip Hop)
I Am The West hits stores Tuesday, September 28th.
