Hot on the heels of the deluxe edition of her debut EP “Like..?,” Ice Spice has dropped a video for “Deli,” one of the four new songs on the revamped EP. Similar to her performance on last month’s BET Awards, the video features Ice rapping and twerking in, naturally enough, a deli, presumably in her hometown of the Bronx.
It’s a classic rap video, with dancing, posing with stacks of money, and best of all some documentary-ish footage of fans stunting for the cameras at the video shoot.
The lyrics are characteristically sassy, with lines like “I’m the shit/ I’m Miss Poopy” and “Hunnid bands in Chanely/ But I’m still shaking ass in a deli.”
Ice performed the song in concert for the first time at the Rolling Loud Miami festival last weekend.
It’s just the latest move in an explosive year for 23-year-old Isis Naija Gaston, who is indisputably the breakthrough artist of the year. After arriving with her viral hit “Munch” and “Bikini Bottom” last year, in just the past months she’s recorded and appeared on stage with both her idol Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, performed a long medley on the BET Awards, appeared in a Skims ad campaign and did a second collaboration with Minaj on the just-released “Barbie” soundtrack. She’s also set to open the first half of Doja Cat’s North American tour, which launches in San Francisco on Halloween night.
