Ice Spice Set to Sizzle Alongside Denzel Washington in Spike Lee’s Thriller ‘High & Low

Ice Spice, the Bronx’s own rap sensation, is gearing up to make her silver screen debut alongside the legendary Denzel Washington in Spike Lee’s reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s classic thriller, “High and Low.” This marks a monumental step for Spice, who has long harbored dreams of gracing the big screen.

The collaboration between Ice Spice and Spike Lee comes after a chance encounter earlier this year in Brooklyn, where the two icons posed for a snapshot, igniting speculation of a potential partnership. Now, it’s official: Ice Spice is joining forces with the acclaimed director and the incomparable Denzel Washington for what promises to be a cinematic tour de force.

Kurosawa’s “High and Low,” originally released in 1963, remains a cornerstone of world cinema, renowned for its gripping narrative and timeless themes. The film follows the moral dilemma of a businessman torn between ambition and compassion when faced with a harrowing kidnapping situation.

For Ice Spice, this opportunity is the realization of a lifelong aspiration. In a candid interview on HOT 97, she confessed her desire to pursue acting, revealing that her heart had always been set on the stage rather than the studio booth. Her journey to this moment has been paved with determination and courage, culminating in a memorable Super Bowl ad for PepsiCo’s Starry soda, which she proudly counts as her acting debut.

Dyss unveils love, passion, and doubt with new release “LOVE IS BLIND”

Honk Magazine Default

Dyss digs deep into emotional territory with his latest single, “LOVES IS BLIND,” turning feelings into an enveloping experience. From the very outset, the track draws listeners into a hypnotic soundscape that feels at once intimate and grand. It’s a record that doesn’t merely play, it lingers, settling around you long after the last note has evaporated.

The opening is in French rap, giving Dyss a unique vibe from the start. That rhythm feels intentional, and almost pulls you into his world before seamlessly moving into English rap. That change isn’t purely linguistic, it’s emotional. The switch between languages reflects the back-and-forth of passion and uncertainty at the heart of the track. It’s a daring, creative decision that underscores the universality of the song’s theme, love, in all its beautiful fuzziness.

The production is simmering below the surface, unintrusive but always there. There’s a hypnotic thrum to the beat, a subtle energy that enables Dyss’s soulful, lived-in vocals to shine. He balances cockiness with gutsy exposure, offering lines that feel both intimate and deeply universal. Every inflection carries the tension between desire and doubt.

Dtutter’s feature adds an electric contrast to the mix, quick and flashy, his presence raises the emotional stakes of the track. The chemistry between Dyss and Dtutter is both natural and electric, passing the song back and forth in a way that turns it into more than just a solo statement.

Dam CPH turns late-night thoughts into sound on “In My Head,”

Dam CPH

Dam CPH steps confidently into the dark with “In My Head,” a single that is less song than late-night confession you were never meant to overhear. It’s disconcerting, close-up and weirdly addictive, the sort of track that stays with you long after its last note evaporates.

Constructed from creepy minimalism and dark experimental pop, the production leaves plenty of negative space, allowing every breath and beat to echo like footsteps in an abandoned corridor. The female vocals swim through the track like ghosts passing down empty corridors, far away and highly personal. There’s a fragility to them, too, but also an unsettling steadiness, as though calmly describing emotional turmoil from the eye of the storm.

Then the rap verse kicks in, sudden, jarring, deliberately off-kilter. It arrives like the flip of a broken light switch in the dark, you want to be illuminated, but all you can see is flickers and distortion. That tension is the rhythm of the track. It evokes the experience of being stuck in your mind, replaying moments that will not recede.
