Ice Cube is 65% completed with the album and he plans to go ahead and begin taking the proper photos for the album. The first single has already been chosen for the album. When speaking about the new single, Cube said that it is a banger. He has said that this album will be a return to his hardcore self. Despite Cube always being agressive, he has toned it down since his movie days.
Dr. Dre has yet to say if he will work with Ice Cube for I Am The West, but given their history, something is bound to happen. The release date for the album has yet to be set, but Ice Cube wants to have the album out before the end of the summer. He has spoke of trying to have the album out in July. While he has a timeframe to release the album, he does not have a label to distribute the release.
