BODY COUNT Murder 4 Hire Escapi Music EMUS20061 (2006)
Ice T's metal band, so you have all the silly / pathetic attitude and lyrics of rap mixed with metal.
At times it comes off, it's not all band, but 'Invincible Gangsta' is a little jointed, and 'The End Game' is just urban/rap with guitars and drums.
That said, 'You Don't Me' actually has a decent metal riff, with an alternative metal leaning. 'The Passion Of Christ' nods at thrash too.
This band can do alternative metal and rap equally and surprisingly well, but should choose a path because the tracks that waver in between don't work.
