Soul On Ice is the critically acclaimed debut album by West Coast emcee Ras Kass, released on October 1, 1996, under Priority Records. The album was produced by Ras Kass, as well as DJ Battlecat, Vooodu, Bird, Michael Barber, Michael Schlesinger, and Reno Delajuan. Fellow West Coast rapper Coolio makes the only guest appearance on the album on the song "Drama." The album's title is a reference to Black Panther member Eldridge Cleaver's 1968 book Soul On Ice.

Two charting singles were released from the album, "Anything Goes" and "Soul on Ice."

It has been praised for its complex lyricism and lush production.

The Source magazine noted in 1996, that Ras Kass was "the West Coast's answer to Nas".
