Tracy Marrow Jr Biography
He is the only son of famous American rapper and actor Ice T. He was born on November 23, 1991, in Los Angeles, California, United States, which makes him American by birth and a Sagittarius as far as star signs are concerned.
Ice-T welcomed him while he was with Darlene Ortiz, his then-longtime partner. The pair reportedly met while he was a budding rapper on the film “Breakin'” set in 1984. Their relationship lasted for 17 years before they decided to call it quits in 2000.
What Does Tracy Marrow Jr Do for a Living?
Tracy Marrow Jr., also known as “Lil’ Ice,” was born with talented genes that have prompted him to follow in his dad’s footsteps by pursuing a career in the music industry. Having shown off his skills, he has become a member of Ice-T’s heavy metal band Body Count and has joined his father on stage to perform on various occasions.
In 2015, Tracy’s mom, Darlene Ortiz, pointed out some similarities between her son and his father. She said:
“I couldn’t even think of anybody that can top his dad, but he is so much more than his dad. Ice would take up anything and master it. But this one? His little seed, this kid. It’s been so entertaining. He does everything: flies planes, plays poker, golf, already got a hole-in-one — who does that even in their life?”

Tracy Marrow Jr. Siblings
The young upcoming rapper has two half-sisters. LeTesha Marrow is regarded as the oldest daughter of Ice-T, a product of his relationship with his high school girlfriend, Adrienne.
Unlike Tracy, LeTesha did not enjoy a lot of Ice-T’s presence and love in her life. This is because he was still very young when he had her and focused on his career and survival.
He told People in 2016: “When I had my first kid, I was in the middle of the wildness of becoming Ice-T, all the people that were after me, and I had my head down. I wasn’t concentrating on them. I was concentrating on survival.”
LeTesha became a parent too in 1995 after she welcomed her son, Elyjah Marrow, making Ice-T a first-time grandfather. She mostly flies under the radar. However, she has appeared on some episodes of her Ice-T’s reality show “Ice Loves Coco” with her son in tow.
Tracy’s second sibling is his younger half-sister Chanel Nicole Marrow, the product of his father’s marriage to Coco Austin. They welcomed Chanel after about 14 years of marriage. Ice T wanted Coco to be truly ready to become a mom.
He said: “Just because I was finished with the clubbing and the partying doesn’t mean she was. It’s like Disneyland. I can’t say, ‘You don’t want to go, all the rides suck.’ You gotta go for the rides.”
