Out of 14 new tracks only 2 include features, &#8220;Act My Age,&#8221; and &#8220;It&#8217;s My Ego (Remix).&#8221; <strong>Scarface<\/strong> of the <strong>Geto Boys<\/strong> appears on both of them, with <strong>Quake Matthews<\/strong> also joining &#8220;It&#8217;s My Ego (Remix).&#8221; With this album, Cube once again proves his ability to carry a project. His lyrics come with no holds barred, as he calls out certain societal norms and some current aspects of Hip-Hop culture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"216364\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/ice-cube-man-up-album-stream\/ice-cube-man-up-thumbnail\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?fit=1920%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1920,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Ice Cube Man Up Thumbnail\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?fit=540%2C304&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?fit=640%2C360&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-216364\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?resize=640%2C360&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?resize=540%2C304&amp;ssl=1 540w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Cube-Man-Up-Thumbnail.webp?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff Ice Cube returns with &#8220;Man Up,&#8221; the follow-up to his 2024 album, &#8220;Man Down.&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-216362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-audio"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-UhI","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216362","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216362"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216362\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216362"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216362"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216362"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
