As dating rumors continue to swirl, Ice Spice and Central Cee are proving to be, at least, creative collaborators. On Thursday (July 12), the duo released their joint single “Did It First” alongside a visual accompaniment for the track.
As hinted by its title, the song tackles the messy revenge dynamics of a relationship. “I’m like, ‘F**k it,’ I know he gon’ spend/ I’m with Tati and her thotty friend/ We like, ‘F**k it,’ we f**kin’ his friends/ We gon’ party ’til the party ends,” Ice kicked off the opening verse.
“I keep comin’ with stupid excuses/ Like, ‘I was juiced and tripped and fell in’/ I might take the risk DMing/ But I don’t know ’cause these chicks be tellin’,” Cee added in his own verse later in the song.
Ice, Edgar Esteves, and Nikita Vilchinski directed the video below. Watch it below.
“Did It First” marked Ice and Cee’s first official collaboration. Previously, the duo teamed up on a remix of “Munch (Feelin’ U),” but it was unfortunately scrapped. However, their latest link-up seems to be sitting well with fans.
“I like that Central Cee and Ice Spice song, and the video is cute,” wrote one Twitter user. “I’m in a very loyal relationship, but that new Ice Spice and Central Cee got me dancing in my room at 8 a.m,” someone else said.
Only time will tell if “Did It First” will live up to the success of Ice’s previous cross-continental hit, “Boy’s a liar, Pt. 2” with PinkPantheress. That record shot to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and received a platinum certification from the RIAA in May 2023, just months after its release.
The New York rapper’s highly anticipated debut album, Y2K!, is slated to come out on July 26. Thus far, she’s teased the 10-track effort with “Think U The Sh*t (Fart),” “Gimmie A Light,” and “Phat Butt.”
On Thursday, she also teased a collaboration with Travis Scott at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. However, it’s currently unclear whether the song will appear on either of their forthcoming projects.
