Popa Track from Ice Spice Featured on Her Debut Studio Album, Y2K!
Popa incorporates influences from both R&B and hip-hop, officially released on July 26, 2024, as part of Ice Spice’s debut album, Y2K!. The songwriting credits include Ice Spice, UpMadeIt, Synthetic, and RIOTUSA.
The lyrics reflect confidence and assertiveness as the 24-year-old rapper boosts her self-image and addresses detractors. The opening verse articulates:
“Skin the color coca, put his nose in (Nose in)/ Told him that I love him, I was trollin’ (Trollin’)/ They ain’t want me to win, I was chosen (Chosen)
The Popa music video visually complements these lyrical themes, portraying Ice Spice dancing at a strip club with a carefree demeanor.
Despite receiving mixed reviews for the Y2K! album, Ice Spice remains undeterred, focusing on her upcoming Y2K! World Tour and her next project.
In a Billboard interview dated August 2, 2024, Ice Spice addressed the pressures associated with the release of Y2K! and her coping strategies:
“I think people try to put that pressure on me just because I have been so successful. I don’t really put too much weight into it. Of course, I appreciate it and I prefer it, but it’s not a make-or-break for me. I’m just happy with the album I made.”
Regarding her future works, the Bronx-native mentioned:
“I am definitely so ready to start another album. So that’s great. I know my label is gonna be really excited to hear that. I don’t wanna start teasing the next album, we in Y2K!”
The Grammy-nominated artist’s rise to stardom began with the Buss It Down challenge on TikTok in 2021. Prior to releasing her debut studio album Y2K! in 2024, she had already achieved four singles charting on the Billboard Hot 100.
Ice Spice’s rapidly growing popularity, coupled with her chart-topping hits, has led to collaborations with major artists like Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj, as well as her debut at the Met Gala and a Super Bowl commercial.
With a succession of hit songs, Ice Spice is setting herself up as a significant force in the music industry.
Her Y2K! tour commenced in July 2024 at the Roskilde Festival in Washington DC, with plans to continue in October 2024 across Dublin, UK, France, Germany, and Sweden, culminating in Norway in November 2024.
