Ice T's BODY COUNT Signs With Sumerian Records

Sumerian Records has been on a tear lately. A few weeks back, they announced the signing of The Dillinger Escape Plan and today, there is a new signing announced, Ice T's rap metal band Body Count is now on the label.

Ice himself made the announcement via Twitter:

This is not the first hip-hop related signing by Sumerian, as they announced a deal with Bizzy Bone of Bone Thugs N Harmony a while back, for a 2010 release.

This poses some interesting opportunities:

  • Will Body Count and Dillinger co-headline next year's Summer Slaughter?
  • Will we be hearing guest solos on the Body Count album by Michael Keene of The Faceless or groove master Marc Okubo of Veil of Maya?
  • Likewise, will there be a guest vocal appearance by Ice T on the new Periperhy or Born Of Osiris album?

The possibilities are endless. I asked resident MI Body Count expert 3D to recommend some songs, and here are his two favorites:
