Born in South Dallas and raised in Texas and South Florida, Ice released his debut album, Hooked, in 1989 on Ichiban Records before signing a contract with SBK Records, a record label of the EMI Group, which released a reformatted version of the album in 1990 under the title To the Extreme which became the fastest-selling hip hop album of all time and contained Ice’s best-known hits: “Ice Ice Baby” and a cover of “Play That Funky Music.” “Ice Ice Baby” was the first hip-hop single to top the Billboard charts and has been credited with helping to diversify hip-hop by introducing it to a mainstream audience.Īll-4-One’s hit “I Swear” won a Grammy Award in 1995 for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and enjoyed an eleven-week run at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as a six-week run at number one on the Australian Singles Chart and a seven-week run at No.
