Ice Spice gave her beloved Munchkins a sneak peek of her upcoming single “Gimmie a Light” Wednesday (May 8) with a super smoky video clip.
In the 15-second snippet, Spice is riding in the back of a hot pink Range Rover — which is sporting a “Y2K” license plate in honor of her upcoming debut studio album — while thick clouds of marijuana smoke rolling out of the side windows. The sample of Sean Paul’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 7 smash “Gimme the Light” from his 2002 sophomore album Dutty Rock starts off the clip before she raps (with a joint in her hand, of course), “Hotbox in the V like gimme a light!”
“Gimmie a Light” arrives this Friday, May 10 via 10K Projects and Capitol Records, four months after Spice’s last solo single “Think U The S— (Fart),” which debuted at No. 37 on the Hot 100 — making it her highest-charting solo single to date. She debuted the song during her Coachella festival performance last month. She’s slated to drop her first full-length album Y2K later this year, following her debut EP Like..? that she released in January 2023. The project (which got a deluxe release last July) reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200.
She also recently hopped on the remix of Cash Cobain and Bay Swang’s viral song of the summer contender “Fisherrr,” which debuted at No. 11 on Bubbling Under Hot 100 this week (chart dated May 11).
