Produced by OG Cube cohorts, Sir Jinx, and the Boogiemen (DJ Pooh, Bobcat, and Rashad Coes), Death Certificate takes a potent look at life in South Central through the eyes of one of reality rap’s greatest and grittiest storytellers. Roughly organized as two thematic elements of a larger whole, it opens with Cube’s explanation: “The Death Side: a mirror image of where we are today; The Life Side: a vision of where we need to go.”

‘Death Certificate’ reached no 2 in the USA and sold over one million copies. Ice Cube had left NWA in 1989 over a dispute with royalties. Within six months he released his first solo album ‘AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted’. That album made number 19 in the USA and would also go on to sell one million.
