Drake’s ‘Iceman’ Release Date Revealed
A Toronto-based Twitch streamer found the message hidden in the ice
A Twitch streamer by the name of Kishka has apparently uncovered the release date for Drake‘s upcoming album, Iceman. The content creator, who you can see in a few clips atop the sculpture last night chipping away at the ice, went live this afternoon, where he showed viewers a blue waterproof bag before driving to Drake’s house, where he was allegedly gifted $100,000, as well as the news that the album is set to arrive May 15th.
Drake has been teasing Iceman since last summer, when he took to YouTube and live-streamed the first of three episodes of his Iceman series, a mysterious noir featuring special guests like Central Cee and Yeat. Then, last week, Drake’s courtside Toronto Raptors seats were decorated to look frozen in a subtle promo for the record. On Monday, Drake installed a giant ice sculpture in Downtown Toronto, posting to his Instagram that the release date was inside. The move quickly drew crowds of fans eager to uncover the hidden message.
One such fan, Twitch streamer Kishka, came equipped with blowtorches and sledgehammers, ready to get to work. Clips from his stream on Tuesday show him pulling a blue bag out of the ice, revealing the release date.
Iceman is Drake’s ninth solo studio album and his first since his now infamous war of words with Kendrick Lamar, which culminated in a lawsuit against UMG over defamation. The album follows his joint R&B project with Partnextdoor from last year, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. Drake has made the world of streamers and content creators more central to his output of late, offering the only appearances since the beef on platforms like XQC and Adin Ross’. Though Drake is also an investor in Stake, which owns the popular streaming site Kick, where Adin and XQC both stream.
With a reported May 15 release date now circulating online, Iceman is poised to answer a number of lingering questions about Drake’s next move — both musically and publicly — after a year defined as much by spectacle as by scrutiny.
