Ice Spice took the music world by storm in 2023. The Bronx-bred rapstress let loose her Like..? EP in January. It looks like her official studio LP will arrive in the coming months.
Billboard spoke to Ice Spice’s frequent producer, RiotUSA, about working with the Hip-Hop neophyte. According to the beatmaker, additional tunes from Spice are in the works.
“Fans should know I produce and record too, so look out for my music,” RiotUSA stated. “Also, look out for new classics with Ice in 2024. We’re working on her debut album as we speak.”
RiotUSA crafted some of the biggest hits of the year. He provided the sounds for Ice Spice’s “In Ha Mood” and “Deli” as well as the Nicki Minaj-assisted “Princess Diana” and “Barbie World.”
In addition, RiotUSA served as an executive producer for Like..? That project peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 chart and No. 4 on the Billboard Top Rap Albums chart.
Ice Spice’s successful 2023 earned the 23-year-old recording artist four Grammy Award nominations, including a nod for Best New Artist. She already won Best New Artist at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.
