Rising rap star Ice Spice has officially announced the release of her highly anticipated debut album, ‘Y2K’. The announcement follows months of speculation and anticipation after she first hinted at the project earlier this year.
Ice Spice, whose real name is Isis Gaston, revealed the album’s title and its summer release date on her social media platforms. ‘Y2K’, which cleverly nods to the rapper’s birth date on January 1, 2000, is set to drop on July 26, 2024. In her post, Ice Spice expressed her excitement with a characteristically playful tone, writing, “HIIIII 😣 THE ALBUM WILL BE DROPPING JULY 26TH !!!! pre-save now 😘.”
The announcement accompanied a pre-save link for fans eager to secure the album before its release. Additionally, Ice Spice unveiled the album’s artwork, which features her standing with her back to the camera in front of a concrete block wall by a subway stairwell. The cover art, adorned with graffiti that reads “Ice Spice” and “Y2K” spray-painted on a trash can, encapsulates the urban and gritty aesthetic that has become synonymous with her style.
‘Y2K’ will be led by its first single, “Gimme A Light,” which dropped last month. The track is a modern twist on Sean Paul’s 2002 hit “Gimme The Light,” offering an ode to dancefloors and weed with Ice Spice’s unique flair. In the lead-up to the album, she also collaborated with Cash Cobain and Bay Swag on a remix of “Fisherrr” and released “Think U The Sh*t (Fart),” a track confirmed to be a diss aimed at fellow rapper Latto.
Fans and followers can view Ice Spice’s full announcement on her social media pages, where she continues to build excitement for what promises to be a standout debut in the rap scene.
Stay tuned for more updates on ‘Y2K’ as the release date approaches.
