Critical Praise:
“It’s easier than ever to disagree on the best songs of the year — there is simply so much music to consume, and weighing it all against each other feels increasingly futile. But there was some — OK, a little — consensus among The New York Times pop music critics this year. Well, mainly just Ice Spice.” – The New York Times
“(Ice Spice) dishes out stream-of-consciousness queries…Her lines are tongue twisters, raced through with barely a breath in between.” – PITCHFORK
“She knows exactly how and where to exhale her rhymes into drill music’s sleek architecture, offering a breathy human counterpoint to the alien bass lines, the glitchy hi-hats, the antiseptic synth melodies that tend to hide out in the corner.” – The Washington Post
The EP:
Bronx baddie Ice Spice is one of rap’s most exciting breakout stars. Keeping her winning streak going, Ice Spice recently shared the video for “In Ha Mood,” the opening salvo from her new debut EP, Like..?. Directed by Oliver Cannon and Chris Villa, the video finds the rising star bringing out a massive crowd in her home borough and showing off during a wintery photoshoot. Dropped over the weekend, “In Ha Mood” reached #1 on YouTube’s Trending Chart and racked up over 1.8 million views in its first two days of release.
Praised by Pitchfork (with a 7.6 rating) and mentioned in recent features in The New York Times and PAPER Mag, Like..? hosts Ice’s three breakout viral hits – “Munch (Feelin U),” “Bikini Bottom,” and “In Ha Mood” – Like..? adds three new infectious bangers to the burgeoning Ice Spice canon, including “Gangsta Boo” ft. Lil Tjay, which just became Ice Spice’s first ever Billboard Hot 100 hit (#82). Entirely produced by her close collaborator RIOTUSA, Like..? made a splash on the Billboard Charts, debuting at #37 on Billboard 200 with an estimated 15k sales-equivalent units. Like..?, is available everywhere via 10K Projects/Capitol Records.
Like.? arrives amidst Ice Spice’s torrid breakout year, fueled by “Munch (Feelin U),” the runaway hit that helped her become one of the hottest risers in hip-hop. “Munch” earned universal critical acclaim, earning “Best Song of the Year” mentions in publications like The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR, The Washington Post, and many, many others. Ice Spice followed up “Munch” with the viral single “Bikini Bottom,” which earned over 30 million global audio and video streams and more than 134k TikTok creations. Today Ice Spice can boast over 168 million global streams and she has received critical praise from The New York Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Spotify, The FADER, REVOLT, NPR, and more.
Ice Spice’s road to stardom accelerated with “Munch,” but she’s been buzzing in NYC for a long time. At age seven she was writing poetry and freestyling, and from there she first gained attention with “No Clarity,” a bite-sized banger that decries the lack of communication in a relationship, and the soul-sampling “Name Of Love,” which Ebro featured as his “discovery of the day” on Apple Music Radio. With more music on the way, the unbothered and effortlessly rising superstar has proved the Bronx born It Girl is here to stay.
