  • Watch Ice Spice’s model-friendly music video for MIA-sampled ‘Baddie Baddie’

    Three days ago, Bronx-bred star rapper Ice Spice put out the official music video for her latest single, ‘Baddie Baddie’, which samples MIA’s larger-than-life record, ‘Bad Girls’, a song released thirteen years ago with over 200 million views on YouTube (Noisey’s upload of 145 million and 72 million from MIA’s official VEVO channel). On the track, the ‘Munch’ rapper takes aim at a man who was “begging to hit” and doesn’t really want her for who she is, but he sees her lifestyle as something to take advantage of if she lets him. In the next line, she mentions a fellow female rapper who might be inspired by her come-up and wants to be like her, but isn’t doing it well. Ice Spice doesn’t mention anyone by name, but the internet seems to think Stunna Sandy, who also wears tight curls, is the one.

    Watch the NYFW-centric music video, which documents some of the moments during the festivities and shows her relationship with South Sudanese-American supermodel/visual artist Anok Yai. Sunisa Lee and Bb Trickz also make cameos.

    According to Ice Spice, someone purchased fake views for the music video, which now has over seven million views since its release on October 15. The music video is currently at #12 on YouTube’s Music Trending Chart.

    One comment under the music video says from a fan account says, “@parmik99 from 1 to 5 milliom in 37 minutes and 0 new comments.Dear Spice, don’ embaress yourself with bots”.

    Another fan @rick_bars, wrote, “Ice Spice is not Botting Door Dash is running ads on the video but, the ads team is not great lol. So it looks like this.”, a seemingly supportive comment.

    Before this release, Ice Spice collaborated with her former rival and fellow rapper Latto, called ‘Gyatt’, and later appeared on Kai Cenat’s popular Twitch account with over nineteen million followers.

    Flexing new fresh carrot-coloured tresses and her controversial body frame, Ice Spice dazzles as she raps about a partner who wasn’t authentic to her, feeling like a star when she’s back on her block in The Bronx and how fellow rappers want her to flop—the beat samples Corinne Bailey Rae’s ‘Like A Star’ released fifteen years ago. Watch the entire performance below.

    Two days ago, the World Wide Web witnessed Ice Spice’s announcements for her upcoming North American tour and the unveiling of her highly-criticised album cover to ‘Y2K!’ photographed by David LaChapelle, according to the Bronx-bred rapper.

    Alongside that news came the details about her supporting acts. New York City’s rising artist-producer Cash Cobain is the only rapper listed and has her producer RIOTUSA as her official tour DJ. Today, Cash Cobain shared a brand new single with his fans called ‘Rump Punch’. It’s a short song detailing his linkup with an attractive curvy woman, who he “might give [her] a son.”

    A month ago, Ice Spice featured and appeared in the video for the official remix to ‘Fisherrr’ featuring Bay Swag, directed by KZA.

    The news and the single come after the release of another fan favourite titled, ‘Grippy’. It is a catchy tune featuring J Cole, where he speaks extensively about female anatomy and promises to pay for her children to meet Mickey Mouse at Disney World. Also, the Giant Music artist appeared on the bouncy ‘Attitude’ with Don Toliver and Charlie Wilson—a track with over ten million streams on Spotify and made its Billboard 100 debut at #96, featured on A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s incredible ‘Body’, and produced Lancey Foux’s ‘Daylight’ featuring Teezo Touchdown.

    Ice Spice joins Zane Lowe for New Music Daily on Apple Music 1 for the release of her new single, ‘Gimmie a Light’ out now. Ice Spice also gives hints on her album, ‘Y2K’ telling Zane, “This will be the last couple times I can say I don’t have an album out yet.” She also teases what fans can expect from the upcoming project, and talks her recent Coachella performances.

    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.
