Following the signing of a notable deal with distribution powerhouse Human Re Sources and the release of the Kenny Beats-produced "DICKIES SUIT," ICECOLDBISHOP is back with another hard-hitting collaboration with the revered producer. "TRICK DADDY" is out now on ICE COLD RECORDS, the rising rapper's own imprint.
Despite his fairly recent debut, Los Angeles-emcee ICECOLDBISHOP has been rapping since he was eight. Inspired by artists like Jill Scott and Kendrick Lamar, the rapper extraordinaire has carved out his place as one of hip-hop's most intriguing new acts. "TRICK DADDY" attests to the duo's collaborative potential; Kenny Beats' production engages ICECOLDBISHOP's delivery in such a way that enhances the rapper's offbeat charm. Eccentric ad libs dance around sirens and a blaring bass as ICECOLDBISHOP executes bars about women and exorbitant wealth with urgency.
What sets ICECOLDBISHOP apart from his peers is his knack for texture. His performance is elastic — the rapper's vocal timbre shifts constantly with his flow. As he rattles off lines like, "I could really auction this dick off / Thirty-five, forty-five, now I'm fuckin' up her lip gloss," his voice pitches up, his flow accelerating slightly.
Armed with one of music's most distinctive voices and a handful of stellar collaborations, ICECOLDBISHOP is poised to take the rap game by storm.
