The Bronx-raised breakout rapper Ice Spice shared her platform with some of the city’s hometown heroes, from Cash Cobain and Sheff G to A Boogie, during her Y2K tour kickoff. She transformed her outdoor festival into a throbbing house party.
Rain is always a production in New York — the air in train stations gets heavy and damp, commutes are laden with accidents, and evading the cascade of umbrellas becomes its own Olympic sport. On August 7, however, the energy was crackling with excitement.
Lost in Yachty’s train of thought is the realization that the New York style he fetishizes is built on the runways of the outer boroughs, where cultures interact and fuse their acquired sensibilities from the South, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the African continent into something unique.
The palpable excitement would rev back up every time Ice Spice returned to the stage to run through a few more of her big hits and album cuts, lights strobing throughout the venue as her techno-futurist New York aesthetic graced her backdrop, shifting from glittering skyscrapers to looping tunnels. “Gimme The Light,” a single with a famous Sean Paul sample that was largely panned upon release, took on a new life in this milieu.
