In fact I a currently working on my third official Album, the album is going to be call “midnight love” my last album “Broken Heart” was 10 tracks, but this one is going to be about 13-15 tracks, and maybe some collaborations as well, but yeah 2014 is going to be a breakthrough year not just for me but for everybody that has been there since day one.

Raptv asked ice kid about his parents, are your parents completely cool with you doing music? “I am going to be honest with you, they were not cool at all, cause first of all my dad is a pastor and he wasn’t ok with it, but know parents when they tell not to do something, at that point that thing is the thing is really want to do, so I was still doing music secretly, at the same time my school grades was good so anytime they try to stop me I’ll be I’m doing good in school so why shouldn’t I, at some point they just gave up. I believe that if you have a dream and you do not fight for it, then that dream will hunt you for life.
