Izzy Ice comes forth immediately on his new single Cake Up as an evolutionary step forward of DMX, Big Joe and Xhibit. Tons of swagger blend nicely with a robust backing beat to tattoo Cake Up deep into the minds and hearts of listeners. The production of this single ensures that Izzy Ice should garner playlist and rotation play in 2020. II’s wordplay during this cut does more than tell a story, adding considerably to the overall harmonies achieved by the percussion and synth blend. This is a fantastic introduction to Izzy Ice; hope that his follow-up to Cake Up can further cement his status as one of the best upcoming rappers.
