Los Angeles (near Inglewood) (shown above). The home measures 4 Beds/2 Baths on 1,683 sqft on a total lot size of 5,833 sqft built in 1947. The purchase price and date is unknown but this possibly might be Ice Cube's childhood home. The property records show Ice Cube's dad and Ice Cube on the property record.

Sound Moves Studio, Sun Valley (shown above). This commercial building measures 1,862 sqft on a total lot size of 5,673 sqft built in 1986. The property records are confusing but looks like Ice Cube possibly acquired on June 21, 2002 for $315,003 but there is a conflicting report that states he acquired on January 24, 2007. Its also possible that this is no longer Sound Moves Studio and might simply be Ice Cube's personal studio. Not really sure but looks like Ice Cube is still the owner.
