Ice Spice K-Pop Mashup Goes Viral

by

A fan mashup of Ice Spice and K-Pop group XG has gone viral on social media. The video was originally posted to YouTube in February 2023 and presents a fairly flawless mashup of “In Ha Mood” and “Shooting Star”. However, the video is gaining new traction thanks to Daniel Takedea, whose project direction work with Rolling Stone, GQ, Vogue, and more landed him on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. “Wait, this XG x Ice Spice remix is ​​amazing!!” Takedea wrote in Japanese on X, formerly Twitter. The video also incorporates Spice’s “Bikini Bottom” as part of its visuals.

Of course, K-Pop collabs are the flavor de jour in the hip-hop world at the moment. Last year, Jung Kook of BTS had solo collabs with Latto and Jack Harlow. Meanwhile, BTS as a group also landed Megan Thee Stallion as a feature. Could the revival of this mashup lead to Ice Spice getting her own K-Pop link-up? Let us know in the comments if that’s something you’d want to see. Which other rappers do you want to see get a K-Pop collab?

Ice Spice Congratulates Kai Cenat On Streaming Award, Fans Eye Their Flirty Vibes

However, there might be a collab of the romantic kind in Spice’s life, at least if social media is to be believed. Is there something between Kai Cenat and Spice? Fans are unsure what to think after seeing a recent exchange on social media. “congrats kaiiiii >.<,” Spice wrote, responding to news that Cenat had once again won “streamer of the year”. “Appreciate You Gorgeous ❤,” Cenat wrote in response, sparking speculation amongst fans that something might be going on between the pair. Others noted that Cenat responded to Spice within a minute of her posting her message to him. At the very least, Cenat was incredibly eager to show the rapper love as soon as possible.

Spice has previously appeared on Cenat’s stream and went as far as to send him a Christmas present last year. However, Cenat’s affections are rather fickle. At separate points in 2023, he was shooting his shot with both GloRilla and SZA. It remains to be seen if the messages are just flirty banter between friends or subtle signs of a new power couple. What do you think is going on here? Let us know in the comments.

DJ Ted Smooth has unveiled a new remix of Scar Lip’s “This Is New York,” which features added vocals from the late Biggie Smalls. He announced the remix to fans on his Instagram last week, who flooded his comments section with fire emojis. The mashup isn’t the first time “This Is New York” got a remix. Scar Lip’s Snoop Dogg collab “This Is Cali” dropped just last month.

Recently, Scar Lip credited her famous supporters for the success she’s seen as of late. She discussed in her interview with VladTV how shoutouts from Boosie Badazz, Cardi B, and even Shaquille O’Neal boosted her career. “When Boosie reposted me, it felt like I had a shot,” she revealed. “That’s when motion started coming in. His push, [and] his co-sign, got me a lot of press…that shit helped my career a lot.” She went on to share her feelings on Cardi B posting her song on social media. “I couldn’t believe that..that post changed my life,” Scar Lip recalled, “I love her so much.” She went on to further praise Cardi, explaining, “She started from the bottom and raised her way to the top, [and] anybody that feels a way about that…you’re just weird. Everybody starts from the bottom. How could you not be inspired?”

Biggie Joins Scar Lip In New Remix

The 22-year-old revealed how she got Snoop Dogg to collaborate with her in May. She shared screenshots of Instagram DMs between her and Snoop, where she writes, “Hey Snoop, I’m a big fan & love your music. I have a song called ‘This is New York,’ and wanted to know if you’d get on the remix.” After not receiving a reply, she followed up with “Hey Snoop you think u can get on my remix?” Snoop Dogg then told her, “F*ck yes,” and the rest was history.

Scar Lip also just recently signed to Epic Records. Her new label-mate, Swizz Beatz, previously described similarities he sees between the young rapper and the late DMX. “I honestly feel like DMX sent Scar Lip my way because she’s too much of his energy,” he told The Breakfast Club. He went on to say, “she’s amazing and [has] a great heart the same way X had a great heart.”
