Ice Spice, Tokischa Dance in the Dominican Republic in ‘Thootie’ Video

“I definitely felt at home,” said Ice about visiting the Dominican Republic with Tokischa for the video
A catchy rap from Ice Spice over a dembow flow just makes sense. On Friday, the Dominican-American rap star released her single âThootieâ with Tokischa, on which she drops bars in Spanish for the first time.
âRosadita el pelo y el pussy / I get money, me gustan los chuki,â raps Ice in one part of the song. âKLK, Toki? Andamoâ rulin / Dominicana making a movie / My ass too fat, no me cabe en el puchi.â
Ice and Toki shot the colorful Richard Cordones-directed video in the Dominican Republic, capturing the two stars dancing and singing through a colorful vecindario, posing in front of the Dominican flag, and soaking in the energy of other Dominican baddies just like them.
âThis was a fun record for me. Itâs 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 itâs even more special that I got to do it with Toki,â Ice said in a press release. âWe went to the Dominican Republic to shoot the video last month and it was a vibe. I definitely felt at home.â
Ice and Toki had been talking about wanting to record a song together, and when Ice sent her âThootie,â she says she âinstantlyâ wanted to join it. âI gotta give it to the producers, they did a great job with the beat, not everyone who didnât grow up in the DR can make a dembow hot like that,â said Tokischa of RiotUSAâs production. âI loved working with Ice. Sheâs a sweetheart and a genuinely fun girl. Iâm so proud of the video, and her coming to the DR after so long was very special to honor and respect the âbajo mundoâ culture.â
Thew new song follows Ice Spiceâs viral âBig Guyâ from the Spongebob Movie. She also released âBaddie Baddie,â joined Katseye for a remix of âGnarlyâ and was tapped by Latto for âGyatt.â For her part, Tokischa recently released âMuxaxaâ with La Mas Dollâ and dropped âCelosâ and âMiamiâ from her upcoming album.
