Yea, he may be more recognizable these days as Detective Fin Tutuola on Law & Order: SVU, but don’t forget that Ice-T is one of hip-hop’s original gangsters. The West Coast legend has formed a partnership with Aiko Importers and Pay Up Management to promote and distribute his own brand of XO Brandy, fittingly named “Original Gangster”. The brandy is produced in France, created with a blend from “exceptional vineyards” to ensure a distinctive flavor.

By 2011, OG XO will be will be available in every market in the U.S., with a retail price of $22.99-$42.99. And you know he never leaves out his wife Coco, she will get her own drink as well! I’m sure it’ll be a favorite amongst old players in the clubs pretty soon!
