Fans are revisiting the "Munch" rapper's 2021 video of her TikTok Buss It Challenge.

These last few months have ushered in new success for Ice Spice. The New York, Drill rapper has been catapulted into the spotlight, especially following Drake's co-sign. Spice's viral "Munch" hit took over platforms as people tapped into the rising artist's release, and fans are pouring over social media looking for more content.

In early 2021, Erica Banks, too, was reaching new heights with her single, "Buss It." The track was a sensation on TikTok, and a subsequent challenge gained attention from Hip Hop and beyond. The 1501 Certified Entertainment signee's song became so popular that it helped her ink a new deal with Warner Records.
