Y2K! pulls no punches, knocking down the door with “Phat Butt” as Ice spits over earthquaking bass, “Rap bitch on a pop chart, toastin’ bitches like Pop-Tarts / You’s a flop, bitch, knock it off, where the champagne? I’ma pop it off.” Fans have been celebrating, too, since Ice confirmed features from Travis Scott (“Oh Shhh…”), Gunna (“Bitch I’m Packin’”), and Central Cee on the fast rising “Did It First.” The video for that infidelity anthem (watch HERE) has racked up over 13M views, while the song hit new peaks on Spotify’s US (#34) and Global (#41) charts, became the #1 most added on Rhythm Radio, fueled more than 100,000 TikTok creates, and amassed more than 1 billion views across short form via various social platforms.

Ice’s first LP comes stacked with hits, including the Sean Paul-sampling “Gimmie A Light” and hater-dismissing “Think U The Shit (Fart),” which she recently brought to the BET Awards 2024. View HERE. Y2K! endlessly demonstrates what Pitchfork has hailed as Ice’s “diabolical knack for hooks,” pairing her precise no-frills delivery with bass-heavy beats from her go-to producer RiotUSA.

After a week spent dominating her own city — and a run of European festivals in early July — Ice kicks off the North American leg of her Y2K! WORLD TOUR on July 30 at The Anthem in Washington, DC. The stateside headline run will also include two shows at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City (August 6 and 7) and an evening at the iconic Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles (August 19). See below for the full itinerary. Tickets are available HERE.

Y2K! confirms what’s been in the air since Ice’s 2023 debut EP, Like..?, landed her on year-end lists from the likes of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and numerous others. Hits like “Munch (Feelin U)” and the Platinum-selling “In Ha Mood” and “Princess Diana” have taken Ice straight to the top of the rap game and brought her a slew of honors, including two People’s Choice Awards, an MTV VMA, a BET Hip-Hop Award, and the Hitmaker Award at the 2024 Billboard Women In Music event. All signs point toward Ice extending her dominance.

If you know anything about street code, you know the importance of supplying the demand. This is something Detroit rapper, Arkeisha Antoinette Knight better known as Kash Doll has been doing her entire life.

The oldest of six siblings, Kash Doll began working to help her single mother support their family at a young age. She briefly attended college but decided to take her talents to the strip club in an effort to ensure her family’s financial needs were met. So yeah, before the fame in the music and television industries, there was a demand for Kash and as a born hustler, she did what needed to be done to supply that demand.

I had the pleasure of interviewing the beautiful lyricist on the set of her Hype Hair photoshoot where her love for music was apparent. Kash Doll made request after request and to my surprise, she was in her R&B bag most of the night. What is this, has motherhood softened her, is she a certified lover girl? Maybe a little of both but she is obviously a lover of music and how could she not be? She hails from one of the most soulful places on the map, so music runs deep. At a young age, Kash Doll began free-styling and writing lyrics and once she built relationships and gained respect in the strip club, she introduced people to her true gifts. That confidence was the beginning; it created a unique opportunity for the “Everybody” rapper who admits to making thousands per night in the strip club without dancing to supply yet another demand for Kash.
