Ice Cube released War & Peace Vol. 1 in November 1998 as the first part of a two-disc project. The album reflects his growing focus on political and social issues, with an aggressive sound and lyrics critical of the government and police.
The disc features collaborations with artists like Mack 10, WC, and Krayzie Bone. Although a commercial success, reaching number 7 on the Billboard 200, it received mixed reviews for its dense production and confrontational tone.
War & Peace Vol. 1 was certified platinum by the RIAA in 1999. The song Pushin' Weight became a standout single, and the album marked a transitional period in Cube's career toward a rawer, more political sound.
