The Rise of the So Icey Boyz

In the annals of Hip-Hop history, 2009 will likely go down as the year that it all started for the super-squad known as the So Icey Boyz. Comprised of hood poets Waka Flocka Flame, OJ da Juiceman, Frenchie, Wooh da Kid, rock band Spare Change, pop-hip-hop-punk artist Muffy [aka Muff Mommy], and led by rap juggernaut Gucci Mane, So Icey only is rivaled by the success of Lil Wayne’s Young Money crew, which features Drake and Nicki Minaj.

Outside of Gucci, both OJ da Juiceman and Wacka Flocka and have left their mark in 2009 with street anthems and club hits such as “Make The Trap Say Aye,” “Supaman High” ft R. Kelly from the former and “O Let’s Do It” from the latter. But with the success of Gucci’s rising fame and celebrity in music – recently having his career ascent compared to that of Lil Wayne’s in the New York Times – it’s now gut check time for So Icey to strike out with a collective takeover plan. And with Gucci’s anticipated release from prison in early 2010 (it is rumored he could be released by in the last days of 2009), one would expect this could take place sooner than later. 

Our anticipation may be so high due to our previous features of many of these artists.  Muffy, OJ da Juiceman, Waka Flocka and Gucci Mane all have been subjects of interest for our subscribers. It’s safe to say there’s an enormous amount of talent in this squad. Let’s look at what we could dig up on these rising stars.

What to expect from So Icey: 

Gucci & company need a hit record with the whole squad a la Young Money’s “Bedrock” featuring Lil Wayne. This will give them a chance to be introduced to the masses as the squad to beat.
