Isis Naija Gaston (born January 1, 2000), known professionally as Ice Spice, is an American rapper. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York City, she began her musical career in 2021 while studying in college after meeting producer RiotUSA. Ice Spice's rapping style has been noted by music journalists, who have described her as a "breakout star"[3] and "rap's new princess".[4] She has received numerous awards, including the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, the People's Choice Award for "New Artist of the Year," and the Impact Award from the BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards. She has received four Grammy Awards nominations, including Best New Artist.
Ice Spice gained major recognition in late 2022 with her song "Munch (Feelin' U)", which went viral on TikTok. After signing with 10K Projects in a joint venture with Capitol Records, she released the singles "Bikini Bottom" and "In Ha Mood" to promote her debut extended play (EP), Like..? (2023). The EP featured the Billboard Hot 100-charting song "Gangsta Boo" (featuring Lil Tjay), the single "Princess Diana" (with Nicki Minaj), and included the single "Deli" on its deluxe edition. She achieved further mainstream success with several collaborative singles that same year: "Boy's a Liar Pt. 2" (with PinkPantheress), "Karma" (with Taylor Swift), and "Barbie World" (with Nicki Minaj and Aqua), all of which peaked within the top-ten of the Billboard Hot 100. This made Ice Spice the first rapper to release four songs that achieved top-ten status in the same year. Her 2024 single, "Think U the Shit (Fart)" preceded the release of her debut studio album, Y2K!.
