Ice discusses

Drake plays Munch on his Sirius XM radio show Sound 42 which makes it go from viral to mega viral, and with his sign-on in late 2022 she lands a deal with Capitol Records and just shoots into the stratosphere

A LITANY OF MAINSTREAM SUCCESSES:

June 2023, releases Barbie World, again with Nicki Minaj, #7 on Hot 100

So she’s featuring a LOT and releasing EP’s and singles and stuff, but by now everybody is anticipating an album

She releases Think You the Shit (Fart) which is a dis track against another female rapper Latto with whom she’d been beefing since 2022, and it’s also a tease for her upcoming album project, Y2K, so named because Ice’s bday is Jan 1, 2000

This track did not bode well for her upcoming album project. In July 2024, she releases Y2K to “mixed reviews”, meaning mainstream publications found nice things to say while indie reviewers were like, this is NOT GOOD
