The son of an Australian born mother and a Nigerian father, B Wise’s family moved between rural NSW and Sydney’s South-Western suburbs, before settling in the latter, where he still calls home today. It was here that Wise’s love of music transformed from a side hobby into a full-time labour of love.

This paved the way for 2018’s critically acclaimed Area Famous – a record that captured the contemporary multicultural Australian experience through music in a way few others have before, cementing his place as one of the country’s most unique voices.  Area Famous brought him national attention and won him FBi SMAC Award for Record of the Year – the first Hip Hop album to ever win the award and the 2019 AIR Awards’ 'Best Independent Hip Hop Album’.

B Wise has earned a formidable reputation as one of the best live acts in the country, playing the biggest festivals and supporting international artists such as Jay Rock, Schoolboy Q, Yelawolf, Vince Staples, G-Eazy and Freddie Gibbs.

Ice Cube first gained prominence as a founding member of the legendary rap group NWA, known for their groundbreaking album, Straight Outta Compton.  As a solo artist he continued to push boundaries with albums like Death Certificate and The Predator, these releases achieving widespread critical acclaim and cementing his status as a hip hop pioneer. His recent release Man Down debuted at No. 8 on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart, his first top 10 solo album in the chart in 14 years, and No.2 on iTunes Hip Hop/Rap Chart.

Beyond music, Ice Cube has made a significant impact in Hollywood, starring in and producing numerous successful movies, including the Friday series and Barbershop.

With over 10 million albums sold worldwide, Ice Cube remains a cultural icon, celebrated for his raw lyricism, social commentary and enduring influence on both music and film. As a true trailblazer in television and film, through his film and television production company, CubeVision, Ice Cube produced 50 episodes of the hit series "Hip Hop Squares" for VH1 and MTV, and he produced the award-winning, Oscar-nominated biopic "Straight Outta Compton," which grossed over $200 million worldwide. His films, collectively, have grossed over $1 billion at the box office, with franchises such as “Friday," “Barbershop," "Are We There Yet?," "21 Jump Street," and "Ride Along" shaping the landscape of cinema.  As co-founder of the BIG3 basketball league, Ice Cube continues to make an impact, bringing in its first franchise owners, achieving its most-viewed season ever in 2024, and securing groundbreaking partnerships with title sponsors. He also launched the Ice Cube Impact Award in collaboration with the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, where he was the first recipient. His latest album, Man Down, debuted in the Top 10 on multiple Billboard charts, including Top Rap Albums, and hit #2 on iTunes' Hip-Hop/Rap Chart, proving his enduring influence.
