Drake fans are on cloud nine, with the release of his first solo album, "Iceman," two years after his infamous rap beef with Kendrick Lamar.

"Iceman" dropped at midnight, featuring 18 tracks and Molly Santana and 21 Savage.

Not only did Drake release "Iceman" but also two other albums, "Habibti" and "Maid of Honour".

"Habibti" has 11 songs and features Sexxy Red, Loe Shimmy, and PartyNextDoor. "Maid of Honour" has 14 songs and features from Iconic Savvy, Popcaan, Central Cee, Sexxy Red and Stunna Sandy.

Leading up to the highly anticipated release, the award-winning rapper had an icy rollout that made everyone look.

One of the wildest rollouts Drake has ever done involved a 25-foot ice sculpture placed in downtown Toronto. Hidden inside the ice was the album’s release date. Fans literally showed up with tools, trying to crack it open before it melted on its own.

The stunt became so chaotic that Toronto police reportedly had to step in for crowd control and safety reasons. Streamer Kishka eventually discovered a hidden bag inside the sculpture containing the release date, May 15.

Before officially announcing the album, Drake appeared courtside at a Toronto Raptors game with his seats covered in faux ice blocks. Fans quickly connected the icy visuals to the rumored Iceman title.

Drake rolled out multiple “Iceman” livestream episodes before release, using them to preview songs, tease visuals, and keep fans decoding clues. The final livestream reportedly aired the night before the album dropped.

Now, "Iceman" is finally here, and fans are streaming it, sharing their opinions online, and deciphering hidden messages.
