On July 10, 1995, Ice-T brought his razor-sharp lyrical prowess to the Montreux Jazz Festival’s Miles Davis Hall, delivering a solo rap set that excluded his metal band, Body Count. The stripped-down performance showcased classics like “6 in the Mornin’,” “I’m Your Pusher,” and “O.G. Original Gangster,” with longtime collaborator DJ Evil E amplifying the intensity. Blending raw street poetry with biting social commentary, Ice-T tackled themes of urban struggle and systemic injustice, forging a powerful connection with the eclectic audience. The night was a masterclass in rap artistry, proving Ice-T’s enduring ability to captivate and provoke thought.
