Ice Spice Talks a Big Game on New Single ‘Pretty Privilege’

Ice Spice has dropped a new single, “Pretty Privilege.” The rapper shared the track alongside a music video, which sees her strutting and dancing around a mansion.

The track sees Ice Spice taking aim at her fellow artists. “Poser, she hear my song and copy everything I say,” she spits. “Like, what the fuck? These bitches dirt/ Just be yourself, this shit could work/ Pretty privilege, that’s a perk/ I can’t help it, I’m a flirt/ Fine shit, that’s a fact.” She adds, “Cancel me, they really tried it/ I’m so cocky, I can’t hide it.”

“Pretty Privilege” follows Ice Spice’s comeback single, “Baddie Baddie,” which arrived in September. The song marked Ice Spice’s first solo release since she dropped Y2K!: I’m Just A Girl (Deluxe) last December. It was produced by the rapper’s longtime collaborator RiotUSA and samples M.I.A.’s 2012 hit “Bad Girls.” She later dropped an Evil Twins-directed music video for the track.

Since releasing Y2K!: I’m Just A Girl (Deluxe), Ice Spice collaborated with several artists. Earlier this year, she teamed up with Latto on “Gyatt,” which marked the first collaboration between the two rappers and effectively squashed rumors of the pair’s feud. She also made her film debut in Spike Lee’s most recent film, Highest 2 Lowest, starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky. 

Ice Spice recently told Rolling Stone her creative process has stayed the same throughout her career. “Everything kind of changes a little bit slowly throughout the years, but, it’s pretty consistent,” she said. “Or, like, I have things that I do that I’m comfortable with. I take a lot of breaks in between recording songs. So I don’t just, sit and go through it. I get up, do things, eat, or whatever, and then come back to it the next day.”
