Ice Spice crushes it with her ‘Y2K!’ studio debut
Despite putting out teasers and EPs in the past, this project serves as her official debut album and comes packed with anthems. New visuals. New songs. New summertime heat.
Bronx phenom Ice Spice drops her explosive, wildly anticipated official debut album, Y2K!, out now via 10K Projects/Capitol Records. The GRAMMY®-nominated rapper and pop culture sensation rang in the occasion from the top of the Empire State Building last night, lighting the tower up orange. Earlier in the day,Rolling Stone debuted their Ice Spice cover (on stands September 1) and she continues her victory lap tonight, bringing white hot single “Did It First” to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Listen to Y2K! HERE.
Y2K! pulls no punches, knocking down the door with “Phat Butt” as Ice spits over earthquaking bass, “Rap bitch on a pop chart, toastin' bitches like Pop-Tarts / You's a flop, bitch, knock it off, where the champagne? I'ma pop it off.” Fans have been celebrating, too, since Ice confirmed features from Travis Scott (“Oh Shhh...”), Gunna (“Bitch I’m Packin’”), and Central Cee on the fast rising “Did It First.” The video for that infidelity anthem (watch HERE) has racked up over 13M views, while the song hit new peaks on Spotify’s US (#34) and Global (#41) charts, became the #1 most added on Rhythm Radio, fueled more than 100,000 TikTok creates, and amassed more than 1 billion views across short form via various social platforms.
Ice’s first LP comes stacked with hits, including the Sean Paul-sampling “Gimmie A Light” and hater-dismissing “Think U The Shit (Fart),” which she recently brought to the BET Awards 2024. View HERE. Y2K! endlessly demonstrates what Pitchfork has hailed as Ice’s “diabolical knack for hooks,” pairing her precise no-frills delivery with bass-heavy beats from her go-to producer RiotUSA.
After a week spent dominating her own city — and a run of European festivals in early July — Ice kicks off the North American leg of her Y2K! WORLD TOUR on July 30 at The Anthem in Washington, DC. The stateside headline run will also include two shows at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City (August 6 and 7) and an evening at the iconic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles (August 19). See below for the full itinerary. Tickets are available HERE.
Y2K! confirms what’s been in the air since Ice's 2023 debut EP, Like..?, landed her on year-end lists from the likes ofPitchfork, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and numerous others. Hits like “Munch (Feelin U)” and the Platinum-selling “In Ha Mood” and “Princess Diana” have taken Ice straight to the top of the rap game and brought her a slew of honors, including two People’s Choice Awards, an MTV VMA, a BET Hip-Hop Award, and the Hitmaker Award at the 2024 Billboard Women In Music event. All signs point toward Ice extending her dominance.

Ice Spice dishes on everything with Zane Lowe in their New Music Daily Q&A
From talking about making audio gems with longtime pal and producer Riot to the genius behind her newest single, Spice kept things 100 on all things Ice.
Ice Spice on continuing to work with her producer Riot and the success and confidence they’ve achieved together…
It does feel really different in the best way possible. I'm so grateful to have this comfort and bond that we have. You know what I mean? Because recording was a challenge in the beginning, and now I'm just so much more comfortable and I'm just willing to say anything that comes to mind without feeling any type of way. You know what I mean? Even when it came to Think You the, I just said it and I didn't have to think twice. If it was two years ago, I probably would've been like, "No, no." I probably would've never even let it come out my mouth.
Ice Spice on her new single ‘Gimmie A Light’ …
I was really nervous because we really wanted to have a very authentic Y2K sample in there, and Sean Paul, he's legendary. And that song alone, his "Gimme the Light," is so iconic that I was so nervous to sample it, because I'm like, "This isn't going to get cleared, so what's the point?" But thankfully we got it cleared. Shouts to Sean Paul. He's so real.
Ice Spice on her forthcoming album, ‘Y2K' and how she approached the concept as somebody who wasn’t born into that era …
Thankfully, I had my mom, so growing up I'd see her really embody the Y2K aesthetic in its truest form. [To me, the aesthetic is…] It's duck nails. It's a tramp stamp. It's brown lip liner no matter where you go. So thankfully I had her [my mom] as my inspo growing up. And of course just like the internet, you feel me? Just like anyone else.
The crazy thing is it wasn't just a definitive moment, it was just this ongoing process of, "What should we name the album?" And then I have a book full of pages of album names and different ideas, and I just really find the beauty and simplicity and I was just like, "You know what? I want it to be short. I don't want it to be this super long phrase." It was going to go either way. It was going to be super long phrase or one word. There was no in between for me.
Actually a lot of the time, well, either one of us [Ice and Riot] will have an idea, or just anybody else on the team will have an idea and we'll add it and sit on it for a couple days and then be like, "Now, let's bring it back to where it was at.”
Ice Spice on her recent Coachella moment…
Coachella was so fun. Definitely my most fun time on stage ever in my career up until this point. And I was just so amazed because I was looking up acts that have done the same slot and stage just because, you know, you want to prep, and I'm like, "What do I expect?" whatever, and I did not expect that. I swear I didn't know that that stage goes that far back. I really did not expect that. They showed so much love. I was overwhelmed by the love, for real.

Ice Spice keeps leveling up as Apple Music’s Up Next star
Whether it’s the endless anthems she’s putting out or just how much she glows when the camera flicks, the Bronx native is showing out in a big way for Apple Music with a short film to cement her rap game presence.
Apple Music today announced Bronx rapper Ice Spice as the latest addition to its Up Next program, Apple Music's monthly artist initiative geared towards identifying, showcasing and elevating rising talent.
The 23-year-old rapper has had a meteoric rise since her drill anthem “Munch (Feelin’ U)” went viral on TikTok in 2022, which she soon followed with the six-track chart-topping debut EP Like..?. Since then, Ice’s inherently New York sound and her swaggering lyricism have opened the door to collaborations with some of the biggest names in the music industry: PinkPantheress, Nicki Minaj, and Taylor Swift. To date, her music has reached Apple Music's Daily Top 100 in 142 countries worldwide, including 55 where it has reached the Top 10. In the first six months of 2023, her streams grew 868% on Apple Music, and her streams on major Apple Music editorial playlists, like Rap Life and High Maintenance, grew over 1,300%. It’s no wonder she was included among Shazam's Predictions 2023 playlist, a collaboration with Apple Music that predicts 50 artists that are poised to have a breakthrough year.
"Thank you to my fans for helping me get this far in my career," said Ice Spice. "I'm excited to share pieces of my journey with you all on Apple Music!”
In her exclusive Apple Music Up Next short film out today, Ice shows off some of her favorite stomping grounds in the Bronx, talks about being a role model for young women, and is flooded by fans in her neighborhood as they spot their hometown hero. In her sit-down with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, also out today, Ice talks candidly about having mentors in Minaj and Drake, being smart about her career following her rapid rise to fame, and her excitement for the upcoming Doja Cat tour.
Apple Music subscribers can add the deluxe version of her EP Like..? today ahead of the full release on 7/21, and check out selections from the rest of the artists in the Up Next series here.

Ice Spice and Governors Ball is happening
It should be a no-brainer for Ice to have her Big Apple presence felt in her hometown. But to get this specific look at a jam-packed line-up three-day event featuring Kendrick Lamar, Lil Baby and Lizzo?
Founders Entertainment is thrilled to announce the addition of Ice Spice to the Governors Ball Music Festival’s 2023 lineup. The Bronx native, dubbed “Rap’s New Princess” by the New York Times, has risen to stardom thanks to an impeccable string of hits including “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2” which features fellow Governors Ball 2023 performer PinkPantheress. Governors Ball 2023 is set to take place in its new home among the trees in historic Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Friday, June 9th through Sunday, June 11th. The twelfth edition of the festival features a lineup of 60+ performing artists including headliners Kendrick Lamar, Lizzo and ODESZA.

A return to the long running festival’s traditional park-side setting (after leaving Randall’s Island Park in 2021), the new location combines the easy accessibility festival fans loved about Citi Field (multiple transportation options include the MTA’s 7 train line, the LIRR), with an inviting green space as the perfect setting for a weekend of great music, good times and amazing food.

If there’s ever a perfect time to drop new music, it’s gotta be a New Music Friday, right? Look no further than New York rapper Ice Spice opting out of dropping just another single and coming through with her full-fledged new Like..? album.
Ice Spice’s new ‘Like..?’ project has arrived
With buzz generating over her new music video with fellow Big Apple native Lil Tjay, Spice went all-out with her newest studio offering which includes her game-changing ‘Munch’ anthem.
January 20, 2023....Rising out of the Bronx with a fresh spin, Ice Spice has the rap game in the palm of her manicured hand. Today, she releases her debut EP Like..?, her first release via 10K Projects/Capitol Records.
Named after one of her signature catchphrases, Like..? is the best showcase yet for the 23-year-old artist's defiant charm, packed with Instagram-caption worthy couplets written by Ice Spice and inventive instrumentals from Ice and her frequent collaborator and EP executive producer RIOTUSA.
Last year saw Ice Spice establish herself as one of the most notable names in the rap game. The New Year’s, 2000, baby came out of 2022 as TikTok’s #1 Emerging Artist of the Year, Vevo’s 2023 DSCVR Artist to Watch, Shazam’s Top 2023 Artist Prediction, Billboard’s Hip Hop Rookie of the month and rounded out 2022 as BET’s Amplified Artist of the month. Today Ice Spice can boast over 168 million global streams and she has received critical praise from The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Spotify, The FADER, REVOLT, NPR, and more.
Like.? arrives hot on the heels of "In Ha Mood," Ice's third straight viral hit, which gained traction on social media over the holidays. The hard-hitting single generated over 142k+ video creations on TikTok and 3.5 million Spotify streams in its first few weeks of release. "In Ha Mood" and its trending status should be no surprise–Ice Spice emerged in 2022 and became the most effortlessly viral star in the rap game. In August, the artist shared "Munch (Feelin U)," the runaway hit that helped turn Ice Spice into one of the hottest risers in hip-hop. "Munch" earned universal critical acclaim, earning "Best Song of the Year" mentions in publications like The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR, The Washington Post, and many, many others. Ice Spice followed up "Munch" with the viral single "Bikini Bottom," which earned over 30 million global audio and video streams and more than 134k TikTok creations.
Still catching up on Ice Spice’s grind? Need to know how she blew up? Tap in.
Home to her three breakout viral hits – "Munch (Feelin U)," "Bikini Bottom," and the recent "In Ha Mood" – Like..? adds three new infectious bangers to the burgeoning Ice Spice canon. "Gangsta Boo with Lil Tjay" is a bass-boosted collaboration with fellow Bronx native Lil Tjay, transforming Diddy's 2000 hit "I Need A Girl Pt. 2" into a drill love song. "Actin’ A Smoochie" embraces the Jersey club sound that defines the Bronx scene, creating a party anthem that explores another popular bit of NYC slang. The percolating "Princess Diana" combines a signature RIOT melody with some of Ice's best bars, commenting on her it girl status: "Nowadays I be duckin' them cameras/And they hot that I'm up on 'em banners/Callin' my phone but they know I don't answer/In the hood, I'm like Princess Diana."
Ice Spice's road to stardom accelerated with "Munch," but she's been buzzing in NYC for a long time. At age seven she was writing poetry and freestyling, and from there she first gained attention with "No Clarity," a bite-sized banger that decries the lack of communication in a relationship, and the soul-sampling "Name Of Love," which Ebro featured as his "discovery of the day" on Apple Music Radio. With more music on the way, the unbothered and effortlessly rising superstar has proved the Bronx born It Girl is here to stay.

Ice Spice’s ‘in ha mood’ is an official anthem
While it’s still not certain when the visual treatment will drop, Spice is clutch with the anthem’s officially rollout across all digital giants. Whether you’re Team Apple Music or get down with Spotify and TIDAL, it’s all about the streaming goals for Ice.
Not only did Ice make every year-end ‘best of list’, but she was named TikTok #1 EMERGING ARTIST OF THE YEAR, Vevo’s 2023 DSCVR Artist to Watch, BET Amplified Artist of the month, and yesterday Shazam calculated she is the lead artist to watch in 2023 (algorithms etc.).
“It’s easier than ever to disagree on the best songs of the year — there is simply so much music to consume, and weighing it all against each other feels increasingly futile. But there was some — OK, a little — consensus among The New York Times pop music critics this year. Well, mainly just Ice Spice.” – THE NEW YORK TIMES
