Live Nation presents: ICE CUBE - Plus Special Guests

Rap legend Ice Cube will make a rare live appearance in London.

Rap artist and movie star Ice Cube will be performing his first UK gig in two years at the Electric Ballroom in Camden, London, on July 14th.

The one-night-only show represents the only performance by the esteemed rapper in the UK this year, according to Urban Planet.

Described on the official website as "known to be one of the most important figures in rap history", Ice Cube started out in the Notorious West Coast Gangsta Rap Group NWA two decades ago, before breaking off to pursue a solo career.

He has since gone on to sell ten million albums achieving platinum success with some, including War and Peace and The Predator, and reaching number one on the RnB Album chart with Death Certificate.

The new Raw Footage, Ice Cube's ninth solo album, is due for release on June 17th.

The hip-hop maestro has focused primarily on films in recent years, although found time to record his second album in as many years 'Raw Footage', which gets its UK release later this month.

The first single, 'Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It' was out earlier this year', and the hip-hop legend will stop by the UK for a show at London's Electric Ballroom on July 14.

He made his comeback to the music world with 2006's 'Laugh Now, Cry Later' - his first album release in six years.
