Dice began his career in 1992, signing with World One Records, who released his debut album, The 40 Made Me Do It through Raw Dogg Records. After touring with Ultramagnetic MCs, Ice Cube and Da Lench Mob, Dice began his association with Reel Life Productions, although he did not sign a contract with the label. Following appearances on Natas' Doubelievengod and Mastamind's EP Lickkuidrano, Dice released the album The Neighborhoodshittalka on Reel Life in 1996.
