The four-time Grammy-nominated Bronx superstar known as Ice Spice has officially released “Big Guy,” an original track created for Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies’ upcoming The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants, hitting theaters December 19th.
Ice Spice just added another unexpected, and honestly iconic, chapter to her run.
If you grew up on SpongeBob and now run Ice Spice in your playlist rotation, this one feels surreal. And Ice Spice agrees.
“Being part of the SpongeBob soundtrack is such a full circle moment for me,” she shared. “It’s crazy to see my music in a movie that’s been part of so many people’s childhoods, including mine.”
Not only did she deliver a new record, but Ice Spice also makes her first-ever voice cameo in the Spongebob Movie film, officially entering the animated universe.
Spongebob Movie Soundtrack Drops With Big Pop-Culture Energy
“Big Guy” made its global premiere across MTV Live, MTVU, and MTV’s full worldwide network before taking over Paramount’s Times Square billboards. The rollout was loud, colorful, and perfectly aligned with Ice Spice’s naturally meme-able, internet-grabbing aura.
The Spongebob Movie and it’s new track arrives with an official video and a limited-edition 7” vinyl collaboration with legendary Japanese graphic artist Verdy, featuring his fan-favorite panda-rabbit character, Vick.
Anime energy, SpongeBob nostalgia, and Ice Spice’s modern pop-rap presence all collide here — and it works.
Ice Spice Continues Her Multi-Platform Level-Up
“Big Guy” follows her recent single “Baddie Baddie,” a stylish flex that dropped alongside footage from her Paris Fashion Week takeover. That record was her first solo moment since the deluxe edition of Y2K!: I’m Just A Girl, a project that further solidified Ice as one of the most unique voices in modern rap and pop.
Her official debut album Y2K!, released July 2024, scored rave reviews and delivered hits like the Sean Paul-flipped “Gimmie A Light” and the unapologetically unserious (and extremely viral) “Think U The Shit (Fart).” The album showcased her sharpest writing to date, with critics praising her for creating a sound no one else in her lane could duplicate.
But Ice Spice’s rise hasn’t been limited to music.
She contributed to Barbie The Album with Nicki Minaj for “Barbie World,” starred in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest alongside Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky, and now she’s stepping into animation as part of the SpongeBob universe.
It’s a résumé that reads like a culture tour, film, fashion, global radio hits, and brand partnerships, all anchored by her signature Bronx cool.
From “Munch” to Movies: A Quick RMR Recap of Ice Spice’s Meteoric Rise
Ice’s breakout moment came with 2022’s “Munch (Feelin’ U),” a track that went from New York streets to global playlists in record time. Since then, she’s racked up:
• 2.5+ billion streams
• Multiple Top 5 hits
• Four Grammy nominations
• Billboard’s 2023 Rookie of the Year
• Major brand deals (SKIMS, Dunkin’)
• A Taylor Swift collaboration
• A Coachella debut
• A full arena run on Doja Cat’s Scarlet Tour
Her story is the perfect blend of preparation, personality, internet fluency, and straight-up star quality, the kind of rise that feels increasingly rare.
As Rolling Stone said, “it’s already tough to imagine we ever lived in a world without her.”
The SpongeBob Movie and Multiverse Adds a New Baddie
In The SpongeBob Movie: Search For SquarePants, SpongeBob sets out to prove himself to Mr. Krabs by chasing down The Flying Dutchman in a comedic deep-sea adventure. Ice Spice joins the cast with a voice cameo, bringing her playful tone into a universe built on absurdity, nostalgia, and chaotic good vibes.
Her involvement makes perfect sense. SpongeBob has always thrived at the intersection of randomness and cultural relevance, and Ice Spice embodies that same energy.
“Big Guy” taps into that spirit. It’s fun, bold, and built to stick in your head, just like everything she touches.
Ice Spice’s Cultural Impact Isn’t Slowing Down
With her debut album cycle still in motion, major fashion moments stacking up, and now an animated film credit in the books, Ice Spice continues to expand her reach without compromising her sound or identity.
“Big Guy” proves that even in a SpongeBob world, Ice Spice can still shine like the hottest thing out of the Bronx.
