For fans of groove, sharp lyrics and raw attitude, Ice Cube has something for you. Play “Ego Maniacs” and let Cube, Killer Mike and Busta Rhymes remind everyone why these legends are heading into their second golden age. The West Coast rap icon just released his latest single as another single from his solo album Man Down. This is Cube’s first personal project in the past six years.
“Egomaniac” is more than just an ego-driven anthem, it’s a lyrical horror trilogy. Both the coast and the south are filled with G-funk energy, which is reminiscent of Cube’s ####, “This is who I am.” Killer Mike and Busta deliver impassioned verses, while Cube’s verse proves his skills are as sharp as ever.
The album’s 19-song closing track, “Ego Maniacs,” is a wonderful finale to Man Down. With Cube’s signature delivery and EA-Ski’s powerhouse production, Man Down has all the makings of a West Coast classic.
