Ice Spice has dropped her new single “Thootie” featuring Tokischa.
Thootie, produced by RiotUSA, also marks the first time Ice speaks Spanish on one of her songs. Alongside the single, Ice shared the official music video for the track, directed by Richard Cordones and featuring creative direction from Tokischa.
Ice shares: “This was a fun record for me. It’s the first time people are actually hearing me speak or rap in Spanish and it was fun to show another side of who I am, and it’s even more special that I got to do it with Toki. We went to the Dominican Republic to shoot the video last month and it was a vibe. I definitely felt at home.”
Tokischa added: “I’m so happy we finally got to make a song. It’s been a while since we’ve wanted to. When she sent me ‘Thootie’ it was instant. I gotta give it to the producers, they did a great job with the beat, not everyone who didn’t grow up in the DR can make a dembow hot like that. I loved working with Ice, she’s a sweetheart and a genuinely fun girl. I’m so proud of the video, and her coming to the DR after so long was very special to honor and respect the ‘bajo mundo culture’”.
Last month, Ice Spice dropped the song “Big Guy,” an original track featured in the animated film The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, set for release only in theatres on December 19th. Ice will also be voicing one of the characters in the film. She said in a statement that “being part of the SpongeBob soundtrack is such a full circle moment for me. It’s crazy to see my music in a movie that’s been part of so many people’s childhoods, including mine.”
