As the hip-hop world eagerly anticipates the release of Ice Spice’s debut album “Y2K,” slated to drop this July, excitement is at an all-time high. With a career already studded with successful singles, features, and notable movie soundtrack appearances, Ice Spice has built a considerable following, boasting a monthly Spotify listenership that has soared to over 45 million users.
While fans have been captivated by Ice Spice’s solo performances, the buzz surrounding her upcoming album centers largely on the speculated guest vocalists who might grace the tracks. Let’s delve into some of the top contenders fans are hoping to see collaborate with the rising star.
5. Lil Wayne
With a track record of successful collaborations, including a previous partnership with Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice’s potential collaboration with Lil Wayne is a hot topic among fans. Ice Spice’s bold delivery and penchant for clever wordplay would undoubtedly mesh well with Lil Wayne’s signature style, making for a compelling addition to “Y2K.”
4. JID
While unexpected, a feature from Atlanta’s own JID could bring a refreshing dynamic to Ice Spice’s debut album. Known for his intricate verses and versatile flows, JID’s inclusion could add depth and diversity to Ice Spice’s predominantly New York drill-inspired sound, enhancing the overall listening experience.
3. Chief Keef
As Ice Spice leans heavily into the New York drill scene, the prospect of a collaboration with Chief Keef, a pioneer of the Chicago drill wave, excites fans. Chief Keef’s melodic sensibilities and distinctive vocal style could complement Ice Spice’s raw energy, elevating the album to new heights.
2. Megan Thee Stallion
While a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion may seem unlikely given past tensions, fans can’t help but dream of the powerhouse duo joining forces on “Y2K.” With both artists at the top of their game, a collaboration could not only produce chart-topping hits but also send a powerful message about unity in the hip-hop community.
1. Taylor Swift
Rounding out the list is none other than Taylor Swift, whose inclusion on “Y2K” would undoubtedly be a game-changer. As friends outside of the music realm, Ice Spice and Taylor Swift have already showcased their chemistry on a remixed version of Swift’s “Karma.” A collaboration on Ice Spice’s debut album would not only draw massive attention but also showcase the diverse range of both artists’ talents.
With anticipation building and speculation running rampant, fans eagerly await the release of “Y2K” and the star-studded collaborations it promises to deliver.
