Truly the credits go on and on , Ice Is Currently and will  possibly be back in the studio doing a new music TV Show  Called The Review.

We don't know who will be the judge this show  has some heavy hitters including ICE CUBE , one things for sure this will be a highly rated show. The creator Gail A&R Smiley is a real go getter a average everyday Jane, who created what may be the next big thing , rumors  say they are shopping a producer/ director. we at AIS think its gonna blow  and the gospel one too. i heard about the unorthodox way the pilot was revealed and how the creator refused to give up.  Once she found out she had a hit on her hands. and the story's she had to tell about her journey are priceless.. Rumors are the new pen princess has quite a few bright ideas that will be before network officials soon. Leave it to LL Cool J & Ice Cube to be the ones to find a diamond in the rough. I gotta admit  It , would be nice to see Ice in this capacity along with LL Cool J i think it could be the next big talent reality show. I sure would like to see Eminem& Aretha  Gladys , or Patti maybe they will be guest judges. who knows we will have to wait and see wont we.
