Additionally, the title Y2K pays tribute to the artist’s birthday. Ice Spice was born on January 1, 2000, also known as “Y2K.” The phrase refers to the phenomena surrounding a computer glitch that occurred due to the change in dates from 1999 to 2000.
To further reinforce this theme, the rapper updated her website with a “Y2K” theme. The webpage resembles an old Windows computer, complete with pop-ups letting viewers know they can pre-order the album.
