Ice Spice has fueled excitement for her debut album Y2K by unveiling its release date and cover art.

The Bronx rap star took to Instagram on Wednesday (June 5) to detail her eagerly anticipated project, which is executive produced by her close collaborator and producer RiotUSA.

Paying homage to her NYC roots, the artwork depicts Ice stood against a street wall tagged with her name in graffiti, with a custom subway sign and Y2K-branded trashcan also in the shot.

The “Munch” hitmaker also has her back facing the camera, flaunting her most famous asset.

In the post’s caption, she revealed the album will be released on June 26.

“HIIIII >.< Y2K ☆ THE ALBUM WILL BE DROPPING JULY 26TH !!!! pre-save the link in my bio now ;**," she wrote. 

Ice Spice has been in album mode for a while, releasing a string of singles including “Pretty Girl” with Rema, “Think U the Shit (Fart)” and the Sean Paul-sampling “Gimmie a Light.”

She has also shared various bits of insight into the project, such as crediting her mother with inspiring the nostalgic, turn of the millennium theme.

“Thankfully, I had my mom, so growing up I’d see her really embody the Y2K aesthetic in its truest form,” she said in an interview with Zane Lowe earlier this year.

“It’s duck nails, it’s a tramp stamp. It’s brown lip liner no matter where you go. So thankfully I had her as my inspo growing up. And of course, just like the internet, you feel me? Just like anyone else.”

In the same conversation, Ice also admitted that she was “nervous” about sampling Sean Paul’s 2002 hit “Gimme the Light” on her aforementioned single.

“I was really nervous because we really wanted to have a very authentic Y2K sample in there, and Sean Paul, he’s legendary,” she said.

“And that song alone, his ‘Gimme the Light,’ is so iconic that I was so nervous to sample it, because I’m like, ‘This isn’t going to get cleared, so what’s the point?’”

She added: “Thankfully we got it cleared. Shouts to Sean Paul. He’s so real.”

Y2K will serve as Ice Spice’s second full-length release following last year’s Like..? EP.
