Ice Cube Discusses His “Contract With Black America” On “Red Table Talk”
Throughout his longstanding career, Ice Cube has used his platform to bring attention to issues prevalent to the Black community. Cube has used his lyrics, and now social media, to take a stance against and to advocate for certain political ideals, and some of his recent messages have stirred up controversy. The support of Minister Louis Farrakhan has caused Ice Cube to face accusations of anti-Semitism, while some of his tweets have fans labeling him as a political conspiracy theorist. In order to clear the air about his statements, Ice Cube visited Red Table Talk.

Political commentator and CEO of REFORM Alliance Van Jones, NFL star Brandon Marshall, and Ice Cube join the virtual episode of Red Table Talk where they discussed what’s unraveled in the culture throughout 2020 as well as what is to come in the voting season. Recently, Ice Cube revealed his “Contract for Black America” plan and on tomorrow’s’ (October 6) episode, the rapper is asked about that incentive.
“[When] I seen that with George Floyd, it kind of shook me to my core. Seeing a man face down on the ground like that with this White officer looking into the camera just taking a Black man’s life,” said Cube. “Having a man scream for his mama, it just reminded me of stories I heard of when a slave would get out of line and they would pull everybody around to show the discipline and made everybody watch to live that horror.”
Ice Cube said after that, he canceled his plans and appearances. “I couldn’t take it no more,” he added. “I was so mad and so hurt, but then I was like, something needs to be done.” Check out a snippet of the episode and make sure to tune into Red Table Talk tomorrow at 9a PST/12p EST on Facebook Watch.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”
NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.
“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.
The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
