By the Numbers
Ice Cube wrote all fourteen tracks alone, with no co-writer anywhere on the record. That has been true of most of his solo catalogue since AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted in 1990 and is the reason his authorship figures run so far ahead of most rappers with a comparable release count. Production is spread across eight names, Erick Sermon and E-A-Ski among them, but Wikipedia does not say who did which track.
Man Up is Ice Cube’s twelfth studio album, released on September 12, 2025 through Lench Mob Records and Hitmaker. Recorded in 2025, its fourteen tracks run 41 minutes and Ice Cube wrote every one of them alone. Scarface and Quake Matthews guest, and production comes from E-A-Ski, DecadeZ, Prohoezak, HallWay Productionz, the Mekanix, Dj Montay, Fury and Erick Sermon.
