iCy BLu`s "iCy BLu"

I`m sorry y`all, but I just had to post this joint up for y`all....LoL, it`s not an album that many, if any HiP HoP heads talk about. The reason behind it is probably because Icy Blu is more on the HiP PoP tip, but you can`t deny the HiP HoP influence in her music. One can almost label her HiP HoP`s female version of Vanilla Ice or maybe even his sister.....LoL, except once her album flopped she didn`t try & keep reinventing herself. Can you imagine Icy Blu all gangsta`d up?....LoL, anyways I tried to dig up some info` on her, but quite frankly I couldn`t. Aside from the fact that she was born June 1, 1974, her government name is Laurel Urchik & she reps Austin Texas -- there isn`t much else out there info`~wise. It`s almost like the label just wanted to try their luck with this album because there`s doesn`t seem to be any promo material out there...




From what I did find out, Icy Blu`s self titled album had 2 singles. The first one being "Pump It (Nice & Hard)" which samples Salt-N-Pepa`s "Push It". The second single was an ode to teenage love, "I Wanna Be Your Girl" (you can peep the video here, embedding was disabled). That`s all I know about this album & of Icy Blu. The real reason that I wanted to post this was to show y`all just how the Industry will grab on to whatever may be hot at the moment. In this case Vanilla Ice was poppin` at the time so Giant Records figured they`d try their luck with Icy Blu, things didn`t work out in their favor though. Anyway, if you`re lookin` for a few laughs give this album a listen, "My Guitar`s Funky" isn`t that bad. Check it out...
