Double Trouble, Ice Spice Unveils Alternate “Y2K” Cover, Sparking Fan Debate

Ice Spice

Ice Spice is gearing up to drop her highly anticipated album “Y2K,” and she’s stirring up excitement with some bold artistic choices. Recently, she took to social media to reveal an alternate cover art for the album, maintaining the blue and green hues, urban backdrop, and nostalgic 2000s vibe of the original. This time, though, the cover features two versions of Ice Spice: one trapped in a train and another towering over the New York City skyline with her signature orange curls, contrasting with her recent slicked-back look.

Fans are divided over which cover they prefer, with each version offering distinct elements that could sway opinions. The release of this alternate cover is a strategic move to keep the buzz alive and give fans a taste of what to expect from “Y2K.” Ice Spice has already given a glimpse of the album’s sound with singles like the fast-paced “Phat Butt,” but the visual aspects are proving just as crucial.

The original “Y2K” cover art also sparked mixed reactions, prompting Ice Spice to defend it passionately online. She praised the legendary David LaChapelle, who created the artwork, highlighting his influence and the intentional placement of “Y2K” on a trash can as a nod to the era’s themes.

As the tension with fellow rapper Latto escalates, this alternate cover could play into the ongoing promotional strategies of both artists. Whether they continue their rivalry or keep their distance, the buzz around Ice Spice’s “Y2K” shows no signs of slowing down.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
