Ice Spice burst onto the scene less than two years ago with tunes such as “Munch (Feelin’ U)” and “In Ha Mood” that generated slang at a rapid clip and introduced a wider audience to drill, a bleak and battering style of rap born in Chicago that picked up new tics as it was exported to London and reimported back to New York.

That mix of high-life couture and lowlife shenanigans continues on “Y2K!,” the debut album from Ice Spice, on which the Uptown upstart bangs out 10 songs in 20 minutes, shrugging off lyrics hip-shaking and check-signing, hooking up and stepping out, in pint-size blasts of twitchy exuberance. Perhaps with Coco in mind, the songs make their points without over-accessorizing: a couple of verses, a couple of choruses and nary a bridge in sight.
