Ice Spice didn’t have to look far for the inspiration behind her upcoming debut album, Y2K.
Tied to the release of her buzzy new single, “Gimmie a Light,” the Bronx rapper spoke to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, where she shared that her mother, Charina Almanzar, embodied the Y2K style when she was growing up.
“Thankfully, I had my mom, so growing up I’d see her really embody the Y2K aesthetic in its truest form,” she said around the 3:15-minute mark of the video below. “It’s duck nails, it’s a tramp stamp. It’s brown lip liner, no matter where you go. So thankfully, I had her as my inspo growing up. And of course just like the internet, you feel me? Just like anyone else.”
