...local promoter had him record The Coldest Rap in 1982, which led to deejay stints around L.A., including shows at the now defunct Radio dance club downtown. For $50 a week, Ice-T spun the records and rapped to mostly white crowds. "I had this double identity," he says. "Deejaying for trendy kids on the weekends, and doing the dirt on the street the rest of the time...
...that, during a five-year period in the 1980s, McDade accepted money, air travel, use of vacation houses, even a golf umbrella from five manufacturers in exchange for help in obtaining defense contracts. Among the companies seeking favors were Sperry (now Unisys), Grumman and United Chem-Con, a now defunct contractor based in Lancaster, Penn.
