Rapper Ras Kass was born John Austin in Watts, CA; a voracious
reader throughout his youth, he adopted his stage name in honor of
the African king Ras Rass. After releasing a pair of independent
singles, Ras Kass emerged as one of the most highly regarded new
rappers in some time, winning particular acclaim for his skills as a
lyricist (in the space of six months, he twice earned Rap Pages
magazine's Rhyme of the Month award as well as The Source's Hip Hop
Quotable honor); his long-awaited debut LP, "Soul On Ice", finally
appeared on Priority Records in 1996. "Rasassination" followed two
years later.
"Soul On Ice" was released in 1996 on Priority Records, produced by
Ras Kass, as well as DJ Battlecat, Vooodu, Bird, Michael Barber,
Michael Schlesinger, and Reno Delajuan. Fellow West Coast rapper
Coolio makes the only guest appearance on the album on the song
"Drama". The album's title is a reference to Black Panther member
Eldridge Cleaver's 1968 book Soul On Ice. Two charting singles were
released from the album, "Anything Goes" and "Soul On Ice".
