If New York City ever needs to replace the Statue of Liberty, Ice Spice is here to take the torch. The 24-year-old celebrates her Big Apple roots with the “Oh Shhh…” video featuring Travis Scott, which arrived on Friday (July 26).
Directed by George Buford, Ice Spice starts off the visual in a glass case as a roped-off exhibit inside a museum as elderly onlookers gawk at the the Bronx rapper. She takes over Ellis Island as the new Statue of Liberty, but puts her own baddie twist on the torch and crown with a green dress and a stack of cash.

Ice and La Flame link up at NYC hotspot Sei Less, where they’re greeted with a feast featuring a full spread of the menu. Always one to promote his brands, Scott pours up a Cacti drink on a twerking Ice Spice.
Trav gives a shout-out to Sei Less on his starry verse and sticks with the NYC theme when referencing how he wants to buy the New York Knicks from current majority owner James Dolan. “To smoke, we brought us some nics/ I told Dolan to sell us the Knicks/ Like the flow, Jalen Brunson won’t trip, man,” he raps on the RIOTUSA drill production.
Chaos breaks out to end the clip as the city’s burning down, and Scott is launching grapes into the camera at the fusion restaurant.
Scott and Ice Spice previewed their Y2K! collaboration during the Houston native’s Circus Maximus Tour stop in London. Spice made a surprise appearance for the live debut of “Oh Shhh…” at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 11.
Y2K! hit streaming services on Friday. Ice’s debut album boasts 10 tracks in total with additional assists from Central Cee and Gunna.
