Ice Spice

Quotable, cool, and effortlessly viral, Ice Spice emerged in the summer of 2022 and took the world by storm. She lit a spark in the Bronx and beyond with her song “Munch (Feelin U)” this year.

Viral on TikTok (592k video creations) and other platforms, “Munch” racked up over 50 million streams across platforms. Along with that it reached the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart.

Along with that comes his smooth delivery and an ever-present grin on his lips As he approaches immersive instrumentals from odd angels, he does so while delivering conversational verses with sly humor. Across his series of Happy Halloween mixtapes, the rapper positions himself as a villainous figure, menacing his opposition even as he charms listeners into rooting for him. Following up the EP Vier, which earned praise from The FADERHH5 is Trayle’s most acclaimed project to date, earning the coveted Best New Music label from Pitchfork. Trayle is an artist who will continue to evolve in 2023.

GLADSTONE marches to the beat of drums that she’s programmed herself. She blends elements of hip-hop, DnB, R&B, and more into ever shifting, as well as her harmonious sonic realm. Her songs change rhythms and modulate keys with ease, creating an unpredictable and fascinating atmosphere for her otherworldly harmonies and incisive lyrics. Her lyrics take a critical look at the fractured communication of the digital world. The North Carolina-based artist released her third project Loopy, in 2023, welcoming kindred spirits like Teezo Touchdown, Matt Martians, and Lance Skiiiwalker into her idiosyncratic world.

The cumulation of a three-year journey as a human exploring gender, sex, identity, fluidity, social media, the mind, and more, Loopy finds the artist leaning into the idiosyncrasies that make her music so powerful. Written in its entirely by MIA GLADSTONE, who also had a hand in the production of each of the project’s track, Loopy establishes GLADSTONE as a vital artist. Furthermore she is one of the most creative producers in music today and will be in 2023.
