Four-time Grammy-nominated rapper Ice Spice (Isis Gaston) has just released “Big Guy,” an original track featured in Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies’ The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, only in theaters on December 19 (check out the new trailer here).
The track drops along with an official music video inspired by the movie, and the reveal of a limited-edition 7” vinyl collaboration with renowned Japanese graphic artist, Verdy, which features his panda-rabbit character, Vick.
“Being part of the SpongeBob soundtrack is such a full circle moment for me. It’s crazy to see my music in a movie that’s been part of so many people’s childhoods, including mine,” said Ice, who also lends her voice to one of the characters in the film marking her first-ever voice cameo.
“Big Guy” made its global broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU and across MTV’s global network of channels, as well as on the Paramount Times Square billboards.
This new original song follows “Baddie Baddie”, which was accompanied by a fashion-forward visual that included some of Ice’s standout moments during this year’s Paris Fashion Week; her first solo release since her Y2K!: I’m Just A Girl (Deluxe) album. The Y2K! album was originally released in July 2024 to rave reviews and came stacked with hits including the Sean Paul-sampling “Gimmie A Light” and hater-dismissing “Think U The Shit (Fart),” which notably became her highest solo charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 (#37). The album was also hailed by Pitchfork for featuring “some of her most dynamic and abrasive bars to date,” while also praising the album for sounding “like nothing her peers could make, swerving from one sonic inspiration to the next.”
Having contributed to Barbie The Album with “Barbie World” and making her film debut earlier this year in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest, starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky, Ice is further cementing herself as a dynamic voice in entertainment.
