Souls on Ice is the third and final studio album by American rapper Seagram. It was released posthumously on August 12, 1997, by Rap-A-Lot/Noo Trybe Records, a year after Seagram's passing. Seagram was murdered by gunfire on July 31, 1996, while shielding his long-time friend and a fellow rapper Gangsta P.

The album was produced by Mike Dean, Terry T and Tone Capone. It peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and at number 40 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers.^[5] The album features guest appearances by Spice 1, Yukmouth and Scarface.

Along with a single, a music video was produced for the song, "If the World Was Mine",^[6] although Seagram only appears briefly in it. The song "Sleepin In My Nikes" also appeared on the 1998 Scarface album My Homies.

Critical reception[edit]

Rap Pages (8/97, p. 102) – "...Souls on Ice gives uncompromising insight on the conditions of growing up poor in urban America and the activities some use as methods and means of survival..."^[2]

The Source (9/97, p. 216) – "...Seagram reveals what made him different from most gangsta rappers....[His] gritty tales of the East O streets are hard to ignore...Making it the second best Rap CD of all time"^[3]

Vibe (10/97, p. 174) – "The rapper's passion for his music is clear.... Hopefully, some of us will learn from the painful poetry of yet another life cut way too short..."^[4]
