There's just something so nice about winding down the work week and heading into your weekend plans on a Summer Friday. Ice Cube is all about Summer Fridays. After all, no one enjoys Friday more than the rapper. The pop culture icon teamed up with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters for a sweepstakes that's all about the ultimate seasonal beverage, iced coffee. 

He told E!, "Green Mountain Coffee Roasters came up with the perfect solution for brewed over ice drinks. Now, we're really kicking off summer Fridays with your boy Ice Cube."

If you think that making iced coffee is simply pouring some hot coffee over ice, that's not the case. The key is having coffee with the perfect concentration that doesn't get watered down by the ice. Enter the Green Mountain Coffee Brew Over Ice K-Cups, which are made with cold beverages in mind. Say goodbye to watered down iced coffees.

Ice Cube explained, "It's gonna be perfect every time. With coffee pods, you can't miss. I just think it's easier than making any other kind of coffee. No measuring at home or making coffee runs. Just pop in that K-Cup from the comfort of your own home and pour over ice."

Ice Cube shares more about his favorite iced coffee and the Green Mountain Roasters Instagram sweepstakes in an exclusive E! interview.

E!: What makes these the ideal K-Cups for iced coffee?
IC: It gives that cafe quality every time. There's no more need for coffee runs. Just pop a K-Cup in. It has the perfect concentration, so those flavors have a little more punch than if you just poured coffee over ice. The Vanilla Caramel is my favorite.

E!: Tell me about this sweepstakes.
IC: All you need to do is go on IG. Post yourself chilling with some iced coffee. Tag Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and use the hashtag #IceCubeSummerFridays. We're giving away free coffee bundles.

E!: What can we expect from the virtual coffee date? 
IC: That's up to the winner, right? However, they choose to spend their time is good with me. We will have a nice cup of coffee together, iced coffee. Whatever they want to talk about, I'm down. We'll just be able to kick it and be virtual friends.
