Ice Spice and Lil Yachty link up on new single ‘Out My Face (My Baby),’ with a two-part cinematic video. Listen here

Ice Spice is back, and she brought a heavyweight collaborator with her. The Bronx rapper linked up with Lil Yachty for her new single Out My Face (My Baby),” released August 28 via 10K Projects and Capitol Records. A swaggering track that finds the two artists joining voices on the chorus, it arrives alongside an ambitious official music video and marks Ice Spice’s proper return to the release schedule after a stretch of scattered features and one-offs.

The song plays to both artists’ strengths. Over production from Cardo Got Wings, Ice Spice delivers the cool, unbothered confidence that made her a star, trading verses and hooks with Yachty in a way that feels genuinely collaborative rather than transactional. “I was never afraid to fight / I was never the one to run,” she raps. “I was always numéro one / You ain’t comin’ correct? / You’re done / Begone.” It is classic Ice Spice, dismissive of doubters and utterly self-assured.

A Video in Two Acts

The accompanying visual is where the collaboration really stretches out. Directed by AMD and Lil Yachty, credited under his birth name as Little Miles, the clip essentially functions as two music videos in one. The first half features a seemingly pregnant Ice Spice, before the beat switches and the second half plunges into a surreal, beyond-imagination diner scene. It is a cinematic swing that matches the song’s playful energy while showing real visual ambition.

The video is also stacked with familiar faces. It stars both artists and features cameos from Gio, Karrahboo, Che Mario, and Yachty’s Concrete Boys crew, turning the release into a showcase for the broader creative worlds both rappers move in. That communal spirit has always been part of Yachty’s appeal, and pairing it with Ice Spice’s star power gives “Out My Face (My Baby)” a loose, in-the-crew looseness that suits the track.

Ending a Quiet Stretch

For Ice Spice, the single represents a meaningful return. Her last stretch was defined by collaborations and placements rather than solo statements. She teamed with Tokischa on “Thootie,” recorded “Big Guy” for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, dropped “Baddie Baddie,” joined Katseye for a remix of “Gnarly,” and was tapped by Latto for “Gyatt.” Productive, but scattered. “Out My Face (My Baby)” feels like a reassertion of her own lane.

That momentum is real and measurable. “Big Guy” alone became a viral juggernaut, generating more than 4.1 billion views across 4.9 million TikTok creates, reaching No. 2 on TikTok’s Trending Songs chart, and topping YouTube’s Daily Top Videos while pulling in around 13 million global streams a week. For an artist whose entire rise has been powered by internet virality, those numbers confirm her pull remains as strong as ever heading into her long-awaited debut album.

Yachty, for his part, continues one of the more unpredictable runs in rap. The Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum Quality Control artist has spent recent years pushing past easy categorization, from his psychedelic left turn on Let’s Start Here to a summer collaboration with FKA Twigs on “On Your Mind.” His chemistry with Ice Spice on “Out My Face (My Baby)” adds another wrinkle to a catalog that thrives on the unexpected. The single and its video are out now via 10K Projects / Capitol Records.
