During a 2023 interview with Teen Vogue, the “Deli” hitmaker shared her aspirations for acting, expressing her deep love for movies. “I always wanted to be a part of that, whether it was [starring in] or helping direct it,” she revealed. Despite her passion, Ice Spice faced resistance from her mom when she attempted to pursue her dreams by attending a performing arts school.
On the music front, Ice Spice made waves with her release “Think U The S**t (Fart)” in January, marking her first release of the year. The accompanying visuals garnered over 21 million views on YouTube, setting the stage for her highly anticipated debut album, “Y2K,” slated for release in 2024.
In March, she excitedly announced the completion of the LP’s recording. The album’s title, “Y2K,” pays homage to her birth on January 1, 2000, which coincided with the dawn of the new millennium.
“Y2K” promises to be a significant follow-up to the deluxe edition of Ice Spice’s debut EP, “Like..?”. The EP featured viral tracks like “Munch (Feelin’ U),” “Butterfly Ku,” and the Lil Tjay collaboration “Gangsta Boo,” solidifying her status as a rising star in the music scene.
