Ice-T, to Gypsies’ Nightclub and Lounge on Saturday, April 9

Mount Pocono, PA March 1, 2011 – Mount Airy Casino Resort is excited to welcome one of California hip hop’s leading figures, and the pioneer of gangsta rap, Ice-T, to Gypsies’ Nightclub and Lounge on Saturday, April 9.  Along with his illustrious wife, Nicole “Coco” Austin, best known for her modeling and dancing career, Ice-T will be DJing for the crowds starting at 10pm.
Tickets for the show are $10 and can be purchased in advance at mountairycasino.com or by calling 1-866-468-7619.
As an iconic figure in the rap industry, Ice-T committed himself entirely to his music career in 1985. He landed a major label deal with Sire Records and shortly after released his debut album Rhyme Pays.   As a musician, Ice-T played a major role in the creation of the gangsta incarnation of hip-hop music and was a colossus of the West Coast hip-hop scene, despite his East Coast, greater New York, origins.

In 1991 he released his album, O.G. Original Gangster, which is regarded as one of the albums that defined gangsta rap.  This creation of gangsta rap later inspired many rappers, especially N.W.A, Coolio, Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, 2Pac, and Lil’ Jon.

The charismatic Ice-T has also achieved success as an actor in movies and on TV. He plays Detective Odafin Tutuola on the TV series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. In 2002, the NAACP awarded him with a second Image Award, again for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, for his work on Law & Order: SVU.

“We are thrilled to welcome the multi-talented and legendary rapper and actor, Ice-T to Mount Airy Casino Resort for what is sure to be a high energy and exciting show” Mount Airy’s Executive Vice President and General Manager John Culetsu said.
“With our recent AAA Four-Diamond award, we continue to exceed expectations by offering our guests an absolutely incomparable casino gaming experience, breath-taking scenery, golf course, fine dining in our five restaurants and state-of-the-art spa and resort accommodations,” Culetsu added.
