Y2K! is the debut studio album by American rapper Ice Spice. It was released under 10K Projects and Capitol Records on July 26, 2024. The album contains guest appearances from Travis Scott, Gunna, and Central Cee.

Background and development

American rapper Ice Spice's career had humble beginnings, as she started rapping in 2021 and released a few songs.[1][2] In September 2022, she signed a record deal with 10K Projects, which serves as an imprint of Capitol Records.[3] Ice Spice gained popularity during the release of her debut extended play, Like..? (2023).[4] Ice Spice achieved four top 10 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100—"Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" with PinkPantheress, "Karma" by Taylor Swift, and "Princess Diana" and "Barbie World" with Nicki Minaj.[5]

On January 31, 2024, Spice announced that her debut studio album, titled Y2K!, will arrive in 2024. She has stated that it is almost finished, and a "crazy collaboration" had been "locked in" two days prior to the interview being conducted.[6][7] On June 5, 2024, Ice Spice revealed the album cover, along with the release date: July 26, 2024. According to Billboard's Michael Saponara, the "NYC-themed cover art [...] finds her rocking revealing jean shorts along with green boots, her hands on a concrete wall as she stands outside a subway station next to a fire hydrant. "Y2K" is spray painted in hot pink on a trash can."[8][9]

On July 12, 2024, Spice and Central Cee released "Did It First", described by Uproxx as a half-Jersey club, half-UK drill track that was "100% [Ice Spice's] own" with a distinctive "propulsive" sound.[10]
