*Actor-rapper Ice Cube will host and perform at Spike TV's second annual AutoRox, the only nationally televised awards show honoring and celebrating America's passion for the automobile.
For the first time anywhere, Cube will perform live his new singles "Chrome and Paint" and "Why We Thugs" off of his forthcoming solo LP, "Laugh Now, Cry Later" due June 6 from his own Lench Mob Records.
"I thought it was a good opportunity to perform on TV and get the message out there," he told the Associated Press from his office at Cube Vision studios.
The 90-minute show, to be taped April 7 at the Fremont Experience in downtown Las Vegas, will air Tuesday, April 18 (10:00-11:30pm ET/PT) on Spike TV. The star-studded homage to cars will feature such categories as Best Luxury Car, Hottest Exotic, Convertible, Sports Car, SUV's, and others.
A panel of over 30 high-ranking auto industry executives, designers, media and celebrities will vote on the deserving nominees, to be announced shortly. One industry icon, chosen for their major contributions to the automotive world, will be recognized.
