like low-key voice acting,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel like the two are similar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Grammy-nominated rapper wrote an original song for the movie titled, \u201cBig Guy.\u201d (Fun fact: one of Ice Spice\u2019s earliest hits was \u201cBikini Bottom,\u201d inspired by the show.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI was in the studio with Riot and Lil Yachty, and Riot started playing this beat and it sounded so SpongeBob,\u201d she told Time Magazine. \u201cThen we finished an entire song, went back in and chopped it up with some SpongeBob vocab.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She continued, \u201cI would be lying to you if I said it wasn\u2019t a little bit of a challenge, because we had to stick to the script, because it\u2019s about a very specific character in a very specific movie and there are certain SpongeBob-related words we had to say.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt was a challenge, but it was a fun one,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div
