Ice Cube in Conversation with Double J's Zan Rowe

In an Australian exclusive for Vivid LIVE, America’s godfather of West Coast rap Ice Cube sits down with Zan Rowe to share the stories behind five songs that shaped his life.

The Take 5, one of triple j and Double J’s most loved radio segments, makes its stage debut for Vivid Live. Over more than a decade, Zan Rowe has wandered the five boroughs with Mike D, heard epic tales from Nile Rodgers, watched St Vincent and David Byrne bond over live gigs, and been illuminated by Brian Eno.

Peaches, Beck, Vince Staples and even Paul McCartney have done the Take 5 co-host. It is an unrivalled opportunity to hear the artists you love, talk about the songs that soundtrack their lives. Ice Cube will open his record collection, and peel back the curtain on an incredible life in music, film and culture.

Zan Rowe is the host of Double J Mornings, ABC National Music Correspondent and a lifetime music fan. Speaking in depth with artists about the music they love, is the best part of every week. Zan can’t wait to open up the Take 5 to Vivid Live, for the first time.
