"It's the first-time people are actually hearing me speak or rap in Spanish and it was fun to show another side of who I am, and it's even more special that I got to do it with Toki. We went to the Dominican Republic to shoot the video last month and it was a vibe. I definitely felt at home."
"I'm so happy we finally got to make a song. It's been a while since we've wanted to. When she sent me 'Thootie' it was instant. I gotta give it to the producers, they did a great job with the beat, not everyone who didn't grow up in the DR can make a dembow hot like that. I loved working with Ice, she's a sweetheart and a genuinely fun girl. I'm so proud of the video, and her coming to the DR after so long was very special to honor and respect the 'bajo mundo culture.'"
"I sent the recording to Aimee Mann to make sure she was cool with it. She was cool with it. I hope you all like it. I've always kind of thought it's hard to mess up a great song...but you never know."
Ice Spice released 'Thootie' featuring Tokischa, marking the first time many listeners hear Ice Spice rapping or speaking in Spanish. The music video was filmed in the Dominican Republic, where Ice Spice felt at home. Tokischa praised the producers for delivering a compelling dembow beat, described the collaboration as instant, and expressed pride in the video while honoring 'bajo mundo culture.' Joe Pernice shared an acoustic cover of Aimee Mann's 'Save Me,' confirming he cleared the recording with Mann. The Darkness contributed a new holiday-themed song, augmenting their cheeky seasonal repertoire.
