Ice Spice & Tokischa – Thootie

Today, 4x GRAMMY-nominated, Bronx phenom, and Princess of New York Ice Spice drops her new single “Thootie” featuring Tokischa out now via 10K Projects/Capitol Records.

Produced by RiotUSA, “Thootie” also marks a major first in her career, featuring Ice speaking Spanish for the first time on a track. During her second verse, Ice steps into a new creative territory, seamlessly trading bars in both English and Spanish paying homage to her Dominican heritage and cultural roots.

Watch the official music video directed by Richard Cordones, featuring creative direction from Tokischa.

The video was shot in the Dominican Republic, authentically capturing the colorful, vibrant, upbeat energy and culture of the island.

When asked about the track Ice stated,”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.”

“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’” says Tokischa.

Last month, Ice Spice unveiled “Big Guy,” an original track featured in Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies’ anticipated animated film The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, set for release only in theatres on December 19th. Ice will also lend her voice to one of the characters in the film marking her first-ever voice cameo.
