The RIOTUSA and Remy produced bilingual song sees the two trading verses in English and Spanish across a cross-cultural track inspired by NYC drill and dembow.
“Thootie, need a blunt and a cup, and a thootie / Bad bitch, so he think I’m his thootie / In a spot with a thousand thooties / All I think about is money and thooties,” Ice declares.
As described in NYC slang, a thootie is described as a pretty baddie or a homegirl, as opposed to a thot, and it’s considered a compliment.
This is also the first time Ice speaks Spanish on a track!
The official music video was directed by Richard Cordones, featuring creative direction from Tokischa, and was shot in the Dominican Republic.
Of the song’s meaning, Ice Spice said in a statement: “This was a fun record for me. It’s 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 it’s even more special that I got to do it with Toki. We went to the Dominican Republic to shoot the video last month and it was a vibe. I definitely felt at home.”
Tokischa added: “I’m so happy we finally got to make a song. It’s been a while since we’ve wanted to. When she sent me ‘Thootie’ it was instant. I gotta give it to the producers, they did a great job with the beat, not everyone who didn’t grow up in the DR can make a dembow hot like that. I loved working with Ice, she’s a sweetheart and a genuinely fun girl. I’m so proud of the video, and her coming to the DR after so long was very special to honor and respect the ‘bajo mundo culture.’”
