Ice-T’s parents both died before he turned eighteen, leaving Ice-T to be raised from the age of thirteen-years old by his aunt in South Los Angeles. In high school, as the story goes, Ice-T got into petty criminal activity, but after his daughter was born in 1977, he joined the Army, where he learned discipline, but also met mentors in both the music and criminal arenas.
