metrocard Archives - New Hip Hop News

On Monday(May 13), New York’s MTA(Mass Transit Authority) launched exclusive, limited edition MetroCards featuring Bronx rap princess Ice Spice.

50,000 of the new MetroCards were released throughout Manhattan and the Bronx and NYC straphangers stood in long lines at the MetroCard machine to get their hands on one of Ice Spice’s picture perfect Metros, donning an all-black “Versace Goddess” two-piece drip set. The limited-edition cars were released ahead of Ice Spice’s debut album, Y2 ,which she said was conceptualized from her mother’s fashion and cultural sense rooted in the turn of the millennium.

Back in 2022, Brooklyn’s own Notorious B.I.G, a.k.a. Biggie Smalls, a.k.a Christopher Wallace was also honored with a special limited edition MetroCard.

The Ice Spice MetroCard costs the same price as a regular Metro.

Ice Spice is going to be dropping a new album very shortly, called Y2K. Overall, this is going to be her debut album, and fans are excited to see what she is going to be able to do with this. However, her most recent single “Gimmie A Light” turned out to be a disappointment for a lot of people. It didn’t hit how they wanted it to, and some of the lyrics were questionable at best. That said, there is still time for perceptions to change, and there are going to be a whole lot more tracks on the project.

In the lead up to this album, Ice Spice is doing all of the right things from a marketing standpoint. For instance, she just came out with her very own Metrocard in New York City. Overall, Metrocards are a staple in the city and now, some of them will have Spice’s face on them. There are 50,000 being produced, and yesterday, fans came out in droves to try and cop some. These are now collector’s items, and it is clear that regardless of the music, Spice is still managing to drum up hype and interest.

Ice Spice Fans Are Excited

Moving forward, it will be interesting to see what the artist does next. Fans have yet to get an official release date for the album, although the summer seems pretty likely right now. 2024 has already been a fantastic year for music, and a debut album from Ice Spice will certainly fit that ethos nicely. Hopefully, we get some more details sooner rather than later.
