Ice Spice has leant a verse to the upcoming remix of Cash Cobain‘s viral song ‘Fisherrr’, after a clip of her vocals leaked online.
Back in February, New York rapper-producer Cobain released the sultry drill track ‘Fisherrr’ featuring Bay Swag. The song later became viral on TikTok and spawned a new dance craze called the “Reemski”.
This week, rap authority DJ Akademiks took to X/Twitter to say he had received what was later confirmed as Ice Spice’s verse for the highly-anticipated remix to ‘Fisherrr’. In the clip he uploaded, the ‘Gangsta Boo’ star can be heard rapping: “Got an attitude, but I’m feeling lit so I ain’t mad at ‘cho / And I’m tatted too, it’s the fattest too, I’m your baddest boo.”
He also shared the artwork for the single, showing a Betty Boop-inspired drawing of the 24-year-old holding up a phone with the message “Play ‘Fisherrr remix”.

Last week (April 18), the Bronx rapper was seen recording the music video for the song. Spice wore her signature orange hair and an all-pink outfit. Her look included a furry mink-looking coat, seemingly paying homage to fellow New Yorker Cam’ron and the iconic one he wore to a 2002 Baby Phat fashion show.
Another video shows Spice alongside Cobain and Swag performing the song in an empty parking lot, with a group of people dancing on the stairs behind them.

The ‘Fisherrr’ remix will be Spice’s second release of the year. Back In January, she similarly teased her latest release ‘Think U The Shit (Fart)’ by posting a snippet of the song on her Instagram, getting it to go viral before its release.
The ‘Bikini Bottom’ rapper also debuted another new song last weekend during her first-ever Coachella set. The track follows New York’s current sample drill trend – pioneered by Cobain – as it flips Sean Paul‘s 2005 breakthrough track ‘Gimme The Light’.
Spice is set to release her debut album ‘Y2K’ some time this year. While on the YouTube show Hot Ones, she told host Sean Evans that “each song that I work on I really try to make it good enough to put out basically.”
“I don’t really skim through it real quick,” she continued. “I really take my time and I’m just like OK. Every time I work on a song basically, I’m like, ‘This is gonna be released.’ That hasn’t always been in the case but for this album process, that was the case.”
“It will serve as a follow-up to her critically acclaimed debut EP ‘Like… ?’. In a four-star review, NME said: “On ‘Like…?’, she appears unbothered about chasing clout or fans – she knows they’ll come around eventually anyway.”
Cobain’s last release was his fifth LP, the 2023 record ‘Pretty Girls Love Slizzy’. “I feel like if you want to rap, rap. If you want to make beats, make beats,” he told NME last December about pursuing a rap career while being a producer. “You want to do both, you can do both. I just want you to be nice after you do what I’m saying.”
At the end of the interview, Cobain was confident he’d be successful, saying: “Don’t you see me gearing up to take over this world right now?”
The ‘Fisherrr’ remix will be released soon via Giant Music and 10K Projects.
In other news, Ice Spice made a guest appearance at PinkPantheress’ recent show in New York to perform their Billboard-charting song ‘Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2’.
She is also set to make her acting debut in the Spike Lee-directed film High And Low and will star alongside Denzel Washington.
