Ice Spice is gearing up for a trip to Bikini Bottom. Before making her voice-acting debut in the upcomingThe SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants movie, the MC dropped an original song for the soundtrack titled “Big Buy” on Thursday (Nov. 13).
The Bronx native reunites with her frequent collaborator RIOTUSA on the production side, and while her flow is typical of what we expect from Ice, she definitely toned down her sometimes-explicit bars to make her verses more family- and kid-friendly.
“I bend over, I do my lil’ stretch/ Ain’t a jellyfish, but I’m the catch/ Feel like that fish, so I’m pumpin’ my chest/ I blow bubbles so big like Mrs. Puff,” she raps in reference to SpongeBob character underwater boating school instructor Mrs. Penelope Puff.

Ice Spice revealed she was a fan of Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants series growing up, so starring in the movie and contributing to the soundtrack marks a special moment for the 25-year-old. “Being part of the SpongeBob soundtrack is such a full-circle moment for me,” she said in a statement. “It’s crazy to see my music in a movie that’s been part of so many people’s childhoods, including mine.”
Ice Spice will star alongside Regina Hall, Sherry Cola, Arturo Castro and George Lopez in The SpongeBob Movie sequel, which hits theatres on Dec. 19.
The “Deli” rapper is starting to fill up her IMDB page, as she made her acting debut in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest film in August. On the music side, Ice Spice is coming off the release of her “Baddie Baddie” single in September.
