From Rick Ross to Raekwon, take a look at some of our favorite iced out rappers. And if you want even more, check out “Ice Cold: A Hip-Hop Jewelry History,” a colorful history of hip-hop’s relationship with bling.

Rick Ross

Even if you don’t know a single Rick Ross song, you probably know that he’s one of the most stylish rappers in the game. And when it comes to bling, the “Hustlin’” rapper does not play around.

Rick Ross

Because Rick Ross’ jewelry game is so on point, his collection definitely deserves another post.

2 Chainz

His rap name may be 2 Chainz, but Tauheed Epps is always dripping in the freshest jewelry, which means his collection is out of this world. “I wear so much jewelry now that it’s hard taking all of it off at one time or putting it all on, so I always sleep with two or three chains on,” he told GQ back in 2019. “I do everything in my jewelry.

Whenever Offset steps out, he’s always dripping in ice. The Migos member shared his insane $3 million dollar collection with GQ in 2019.

Slick Rick

When it comes to wearing jewelry that makes a statement, Slick Rick is one of the OGs. The “Hey Young World” rapper is never seen without a fat chain around his neck.

Gucci Mane

With a name like Gucci Mane, you have to come correct with your style. And Radric Davis does not disappoint.

DJ Eric B

One half of the legendary hip-hop group Eric B and Rakim, DJ Eric B was known for his fat gold chains.

There’s nothing little about Lil John’s lion pendant. The piece, designed by celebrity jeweler Johnny Dang, includes 150 carats worth of diamonds.

Don’t sleep on these shades. Made of 18-karat yellow gold and including over 20 carats of diamonds, Pharrell’s custom Tiffany sunglasses are making a serious statement.

50 Cent

Rapper/entrepreneur 50 Cent has an estimated net worth of over $40 million. And the “In Da Club” rapper has no problem spending some of that wealth on his insane jewelry collection.

Raekwon

When it comes to jewelry, Wu Tang Clan member Raekwon is always well-accessorized. We’re loving his diamond spider pendant.

Flavor Flav

Yeah, boy! Public Enemy hype man Flavor Flav is rarely seen without his signature clock around his neck, a trend he says started after a friend dared him to wear it on stage during a show.

Nelly

Rapper Nelly does not play around when it comes to his ice. He’s even known for rocking a diamond-encrusted grill. Now that’s commitment.

Busta Rhymes

Busta Rhymes is rocking one of the fattest Cuban links we’ve ever seen. The 54mm chain includes over 10,000 diamonds. Even 50 Cent tried to tell him it was too big.

Sean Kingston

Jamaican-American rapper/singer Sean Kingston is repping his roots with this iced-out Kingston medallion.
