In an exciting fusion of sports and music, hip-hop legends Ice Cube and Fat Joe are gearing up to perform in front of their hometown crowds during the MLB World Series, where the Los Angeles Dodgers face off against the New York Yankees.
Ice Cube, a dedicated Dodgers fan, will take the stage at Dodger Stadium on Saturday, October 26, prior to Game 2 of the series. As part of the festivities, he will deliver special World Series renditions of his iconic tracks “Bow Down” and “It Was a Good Day,” right after the National Anthem.
“I’mma about to knock it out the park to start Game 2 of the World Series,” Cube declared on his Instagram, expressing his enthusiasm for the event.
Meanwhile, Fat Joe will bring his energy to Yankee Stadium before Game 3 on Monday, October 28. The Bronx-native will perform customized versions of “New York” and “All the Way Up,” ensuring that the home crowd feels the excitement as the Yankees aim to secure a win.
In a bid to amplify the hip-hop vibe surrounding the championship series, MLB recently launched a promotional ad titled “Empire State of California Love.” The ad features highlights from both teams, accompanied by a medley of JAY-Z’s “Empire State of Mind” and 2Pac and Dr. Dre’s “California Love,” showcasing the cultural crossover between music and baseball.
In other news, Ice Cube has been in the spotlight for more than just his musical performances. He recently shared updates about the long-awaited sequel to the cult classic *Friday*. Appearing on the *Million Dollaz Worth of Game* podcast, he confirmed that the project is moving forward with Warner Bros., promising to make it “dope” and “funny” while introducing new characters and reviving familiar faces.
“People love Friday because everyone experienced it,” Cube remarked, highlighting the film's universal appeal. He has expressed frustration over the delays, especially following the passing of beloved cast members, but is optimistic about the future of the franchise.
As the World Series approaches, fans can look forward to a unique blend of sports and hip-hop, making for an unforgettable experience at the ballparks.
