Milwaukee-bred hip-hop artist Collin Gibson returns in full form with “Black Ice”, the effortlessly smooth latest single from his critically praised album The Golden Era. Featuring guest vocals from Melody Wynn—his mother—and a melodic hook written by his wife Keri Elle, the track is more than a flex: it’s a multigenerational celebration of legacy, confidence, and timeless cool.
Set over a velvet-rich, bass-heavy beat produced by Epik The Dawn, “Black Ice” cruises with an unshakable swagger. Gibson’s flow is calm and self-assured, mirroring the track’s title—like driving over danger but never losing control. His lyrical delivery oozes grown-man energy, nodding to hip-hop’s golden age while keeping his sound rooted firmly in today’s sonic landscape.
“This track is about stepping fully into your cool,” Gibson explains. “It’s about owning your presence, your ambition, your authenticity—without apology.”
And while that theme runs deep, it’s the unexpected emotional layers that elevate “Black Ice”. Melody Wynn’s vocal feature—her studio debut—brings warmth and soul to the song’s hook, offering a rare moment where generations merge in harmony. The result is a track that feels both intimate and iconic.
Pulling from the ethos of Outkast, The Roots, and UGK, Gibson balances reverence and reinvention. “Black Ice” is a masterclass in controlled energy—a track that doesn’t shout to be heard, but resonates louder because of its quiet confidence. In doing so, Gibson not only honours his musical lineage but adds a new, deeply personal layer to his legacy.
Cool, cohesive, and full of heart, “Black Ice” glides forward as a standout track and a defining moment for an artist rooted in both evolution and authenticity.
