Ubuntwana nobusha bomculi
U-Ice MC wazalwa ngo-March 22, 1965 edolobheni laseNgilandi lase-Nottingham, eladuma ngokuthi ngeNkathi Ephakathi "umfana omuhle uRobin Hood" wayehlala eduze kwayo. Nokho, ku-Ian Campbell (umrepha wesikhathi esizayo wathola igama elinjalo lapho ezalwa), i-East Anglia kwakungelona izwe lakubo elingokomlando.
Abazali balo mfana babengabafuduki bevela esiqhingini esikude saseCaribbean eJamaica. Bathuthela e-UK ngawo-1950 befuna impilo engcono, bazinza e-Highson Green.
Le ndawo yaseNottingham yayigcwele abantu bokufika abavela eJamaica. Lokhu kwasiza izakhamuzi zayizolo zesiqhingi esincane ukuba ziphile kwelinye izwe, kanye nokugcina amasiko abo endabuko. Ulimi oluyinhloko lokuxhumana eHyson Green, njengaseJamaica, kwakunguPatois, futhi izakhamuzi zaqhubeka zithanda umculo nomdanso wendabuko waseCaribbean.
Lapho eneminyaka engu-8, u-Ian Campbell wabhaliswa esikoleni sendawo. Kodwa, ngokwezinkumbulo ze-rapper, akazange akuthande ukufunda futhi wayenjengomsebenzi onzima. Okuwukuphela kwesihloko esasithandwa umfana kwakuwukufunda ngokomzimba. Wakhula njengensizwa eselula, ehlakaniphile futhi epulasitiki kakhulu.
Lapho uJan eneminyaka engu-16 ubudala, wanquma ukushiya umsebenzi wakhe ayengawuthandi, wayeka isikole engasitholanga isitifiketi. Kunalokho, wathola umsebenzi wokuba umbazi, kodwa wakhathala ngokushesha lo mfana.
Njengentsha eningi yasezindaweni zakwamanye amazwe, waqala ukuzulazula ngokungenanjongo emigwaqweni, ngezikhathi ezithile ehileleka ebusela nobuxhwanguxhwangu. Akwaziwa ukuthi impilo enjalo yayizophela kanjani kuCampbell osemncane, kodwa i-break dancing yamsindisa.
Kungale minyaka lapho eqale khona ukubona abadlali be-street break dancers, abathakatha okwangempela le nsizwa ethatheka. Ngokushesha wajoyina elinye lamaqembu abadansi basemgwaqweni, waqala ukuzilolonga nabo, waze wayobuka amazwe aseYurophu.
Ukuqala komsebenzi wokudala we-Ice MC
Ngakho-ke intsha yaseJamican yagcina e-Italy, futhi, ngokuhlukana neqembu lakhe labadansi, yanquma ukuhlala eFlorence enhle. Lapha wenza imali ngokunikeza izifundo zekhefu langasese. Kodwa ngemva kokuphuka kwemigqa yamadolo etholwe ngesikhathi sokusebenza, waphoqeleka ukuba ashiye lo msebenzi isikhathi eside.
Ukuze ingabulawa yindlala, le nsizwa yokudala yazama yona njengo-DJ e-disco yendawo. Ngokushesha waba isihlabani sendawo sokudansa, waqala ukubhala izingoma zakhe. Babeyingxube yeragga nendlu. Futhi emibhalweni kwakukhona amagama ngesiNgisi nangesiPatois.
Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, ukuqoshwa kwezingoma zomculi osemusha kwawela ezandleni zomculi nomkhiqizi wase-Italy uZanetti. Wayaziwa kangcono ngegama lesiteji lakhe elithi Savage. Nguye obhekwa njengo "godfather" womculo we-Ice MC. Kudawo lokudala noZanetti, uCampbell waba nengoma yakhe yokuqala yangempela. Lona ingoma ethi Easy, eyaba "impumelelo" ngo-1989.

Ngemuva kwempumelelo yokuqala, lo mdlali obefisa ukuqopha i-albhamu yakhe yokuqala, iCinema, ngo-1990. Umsebenzi ube yimpumelelo kangangoba u-MC wahlela ukuvakasha emhlabeni jikelele esekelwe kuwo, evakashele amazwe ase-Europe, e-Afrika nase-Japan.
Ngonyaka olandelayo, i-albhamu yombhali wesibili ethi My World yakhululwa. Kodwa, ngeshwa, kwahlangatshezwana nabo bobabili abagxeki bomculo kanye nezilaleli zipholile kakhulu. U-Zanetti no-Ice MC bacabange ngempumelelo yezentengiso ye-albhamu entsha. Njengesixazululo sokudala, uZanetti ngo-1994 wamema umlingisi osemncane wase-Italy u-Alexia ukuthi abambisane.
I-albhamu entsha, lapho amazwi wesifazane ka-Alexia ezwakala ngezwi likaCampbell, ibizwe ngokuthi Ice'n'Green. Lokhu kudalwa kwaba impumelelo ebalulekile ku-Ice MC kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe wangaphambilini nowalandela. I-albhamu yenziwe ngesitayela se-Eurodance.

Kodwa ngokuvamile, i-albhamu ayikwazanga ukuphinda impumelelo yezingoma ezidlule zikaJan.
Ochwepheshe bomculo bathi ukwehla kukaCampbell ekudumeni kungenxa "yezinguquko ezihlobene neminyaka". Izingoma zaba nepolitiki kakhulu, izihloko zezenhlalo ezibukhali zazisendaweni yokuqala.
