Y2K! is the forthcoming debut studio album by American rapper Ice Spice. The album is expected to be released under 10K Projects and Capitol Records on July 26, 2024.

Background and development[edit]

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 and 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]
