- Drake streamed the fourth episode of his “Iceman” series on Thursday night, effectively premiering the album before its official release at midnight ET.
- Drake surprise‑dropped two additional albums, “Habibti” and “Maid of Honour,” forming a trio of records that together contain 43 tracks and run for 149 minutes.
- Variety highlighted “Iceman” as the most hard‑hitting of Drake’s three new releases, noting its focus on his feud with Kendrick Lamar and personal hardships.
- Variety quoted lyrics from “MAKE THEM CRY,” “WHISPER MY NAME,” and “JANICE STFU,” illustrating Drake’s references to Toronto, his conflict with Lamar, and industry betrayals.
- Variety identified “MAKE THEM PAY” and “BURNING BRIDGES” as tracks where Drake calls out former collaborators, including Ross and Khaled, while also touching on broader geopolitical themes.
Why it matters: Drake's surprise triple‑album drop boosts his streaming revenue and strengthens his dominance on platforms, while rivals like Kendrick Lamar lose cultural momentum and fans get a flood of new tracks.
