Rapping Career

While still in college in 2021, Gaston began rapping after meeting fellow student and music producer RiotUSA. Adopting the stage name Ice Spice, she recorded her debut song "Bully," which RiotUSA produced. She went on to record the songs "No Clarity," "Be a Lady," and "Name of Love," the lattermost of which became popular on the music-sharing platform SoundCloud. Due to the song's popularity on that site, Spice consequently gained many followers on the social media service Instagram. She subsequently released the song "Euphoric."

Spice had her breakthrough in August of 2022 with the single "Munch (Feelin' U)." Thanks to the support of rapper Drake, who played the song on his Sirius XM radio station Sound 42, the song quickly went viral on both Twitter and the video-sharing app TikTok. "Munch (Feelin' U)" also made it to number 34 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. A music video for the song, directed by George Buford, was later released. Spice followed her breakthrough success with a featured appearance on B-Lovee's song "One Time." She also signed a record deal with the independent label 10K Projects, through which she released her next single, "Bikini Bottom."
