The rapper said in an interview with Today in February that Y2K is "definitely" an album in the drill music genre.

"It's definitely gonna be a drill album," she said. "But I have a lot of different sounding beats that I haven't really been heard on much, so I'm excited for those more than anything. I really want to know what my fans think about these new-sounding songs."

Ice Spice released her debut EP, Like..?, in January 2023 and has since released "Barbie World" with Nicki Minaj and Aqua for the Barbie movie and other songs.
