Author Autumn Hawkins
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 25: Ice Spice performs onstage during the BET Awards 2023 at Microsoft Theater on June 25, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

Ice Spice has given us an update on her debut album Y2K.

“Y2K” is the abbreviation for the Year 2000, fitting for the Bronx drill artist born on January 1, 2000, at the turn of the millennium. The rapper posted two photos of herself wearing a signature mini skirt, orange fro, and a lollipop with the caption, “I finished recording y2k the album.”

In January, she confirmed a project during her interview with The Today Show.

“Yes, there’s gonna be an album,” Ice Spice told co-hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager. “I’m so excited.”

She added that she had “a crazy collaboration that just got locked in, like two days ago” at the time.

Ice Spice first teased the project in November when she posted a photo of herself with a tattoo on her lower back. While the exact meaning of the tattoo is unknown, the caption read, “?/?/24.”

There is no official release date for the album right now, but she told Billboard that she’s proud of what she has so far for the album.

“I think this is some of my best work,” the rapper teased.

So far this year, she has released one song titled “Think You The S— (Fart)” which debuted at No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100.
