Making his way from Baltimore, Maryland through Dayton, Ohio and Dallas, Texas we have an artist who's always on the move in BOOFBOIICY. The young rapper with the mosh-ready hits currently finds himself in Los Angeles, where the only thing he seems to relate to is the area's high sense of fashion. Other than feeling a little out of place, he has benefited from his stay in Southern California. Aside from all the new music he has heating up, Icy has also been making moves outside of the studio. From podcasts features to modeling streetwear, he's been doing it all to get his name out. He makes music for the youth, the fun type of music that goes crazy at shows. His hooks are unmatched, always adding on to them as the song gets deeper. With a handful of projects on the way this kid definitely has what it takes to be next up, so make sure to make note of BOOFBOIICY.
