The Bronx rapper’s first album is receiving five additional tracks and collaborations with DaBaby, NLE Choppa, and others.
Ice Spice’s Y2K! is receiving a refresh for the festive season. On Tuesday (Dec. 24), the “Deli” creator announced that her first album will be broadened with five additional songs, featuring the earlier hinted “Hannah Montana” with DaBaby and NLE Choppa.
In addition to the other tracks expected on the upcoming album, Y2K! : I’m Just A Girl (Deluxe), on Wednesday (Dec. 25) are “BB Belt (Remix)” featuring Bb trickz, “Popa (Remix)” with Anuel AA, “So What?” and “Like.” As anticipated, RiotUSA will primarily manage production.
Before the official launch, Ice Spice requested fans to choose between a pink and a blue cover, both designed by David LaChapelle. “[You] are allowed to select just one,” she posted on Instagram.
At a brief 23 minutes, July’s Y2K! featured guaranteed hits such as “Phat Butt,” the Central Cee collaboration “Did It First,” and “Think U The S**t (Fart),” where Ice Spice directed her shots at Latto. Further contributions came from Travis Scott and Gunna.
The four-time Grammy nominee stated that she aimed to “explore more and experiment with various sounds” with the 10-track project. In a Rolling Stone interview, Ice Spice stated, “I believe that 90 percent of the time, I’m going to do as I please, and for the other 10 percent, I’ll offer you something you desire.” Simultaneously, I genuinely enjoy creating entertaining music because that’s what I prefer to listen to most frequently.
Although Y2K! boasted an impressive array of features, its sales performance didn’t quite meet the expectations of many. It achieved sales of 28,000 copies and reached No. 18 on the Billboard 200 list. Fortunately, the Bronx superstar remained unfazed by the figures, particularly as it represented an improvement over 2023’s Like..?
“Um.. I did 15,000 [in sales], so thank [you] to all who supported me back then, and thank [you] to all the new supporters,” she posted on Twitter. “[The] ‘Y2K! The ‘WORLD TOUR’ has been such an amazing experience that while these numbers are impressive, you really had to see the Boston CROWD last night (Aug. 4).
