Ice Spice brings the new millennium freaks. The “Think U the S— (Fart)” rapper revealed Today's show on Tuesday (January 30) that she plans to release her debut full-length album, Y2K“This year.”
“Yes, there will be an album,” the MC told co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager. “I'm so excited,” the Bronx spitter added of the album whose title refers to her birthday, January 1, 2000. If you're old enough to remember, in the years leading up to the turn of the calendar to the new Millennium there was a global horror over fears that the world's computers and energy grids would catastrophically melt down due to a glitch in their internal calendar systems that experts feared would set them back to 1900 instead of 2000.
Spoiler: that didn't happen.
But the Ice Spice album is happening, although the rapper hasn't revealed a specific release date for the record, saying it's “almost done.” He also said he has “a crazy partnership that just locked down, like two days ago,” again without divulging details.
In November, Ice Spice posted a picture of her new lower back tat with the caption “Y2K! ?/?/24.”
The debut album tease comes just days after the 24-year-old Miami-based rapper released the video for her new single, “Think U the S— (Fart).” In the clip, Ice raves and parties all over town, flashing stacks of cash while cruising on luxury rides and hanging with her pals on luxury car-shaped boats. “B—-es be quick, but I'm faster / B—-es be thick, but I'm thicker / She could be rich, but I'm more,” he raps on the hook.
It's been a busy few months for Ice, who dropped “Pretty Girl” with Afrobeats star Rema in October, which they performed during Saturday night live debut. She is also nominated for four Grammys at the 66th annual awards – Best New Artist, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Karma” with Taylor Swift, Best Rap Song and Best Song Written for Visual Media with “Barbie World” with Nicki Minaj – held this Sunday (February 4).
