ICEY$: Rising Las Vegas Artist Brings Soul, Storytelling, and Authenticity to Rap

Las Vegas is known for producing stars who shine beyond the strip lights, and ICEY$ (real name Trey Carney) is quickly proving himself as one of the city’s next breakout artists. With a style that blends melodic rap, soulful storytelling, and infectious hooks, ICEY$ is carving his own lane in an industry often overcrowded with trends and copycats.
What his music means
“I create music that speaks from the soul,” ICEY$ shares. “Every song I make comes from a real place—my life, my struggles, my wins. I want people to not only hear it, but feel it.”
Overcoming the Struggles
The road hasn’t been easy. ICEY$ admits that one of his biggest battles has been staying consistent and motivated in an industry that can feel cold and unforgiving. At times, he dealt with self-doubt, financial struggles, and the pressure to quit altogether. But through each setback, he reminded himself of the reason he started—his love for music and the deeper connection it allows him to have with listeners.
That resilience is now fueling his drive to push forward, independently and unapologetically.
Building Something Bigger
What makes ICEY$ stand out is not just his music, but his vision. He’s not interested in chasing clout or chasing the latest sound—his focus is on building a brand and legacy that lasts.
“In the next few years, I see my music reaching a global audience,” he says. “I want my brand to be bigger than music. It’s about staying true, being resilient, and inspiring others to chase their dreams no matter what they’re up against.”
The Next Chapter: “Killa Cam”
ICEY$ is gearing up for his biggest release yet—his upcoming single “Killa Cam.” The track promises to showcase his signature mix of energy and emotion, delivering a record that not only resonates but sticks. It’s the first of many songs that will reflect his current stage in life, serving as both a personal statement and a declaration that ICEY$ is here to stay.
With momentum building, ICEY$ is positioning himself as one of Las Vegas’s most exciting rising artists to watch. Authentic, versatile, and determined, his story is just beginning—and “Killa Cam” is the first taste of what’s to come.
