22 Apr 2026

Canadian rapper Drake has announced the release date for his ninth studio album, Iceman.

The album will drop on May 15, he confirmed on social media platforms.

The announcement came after the rapper revealed he had hidden the release date in blocks of ice in Toronto. A streamer named Kishka retrieved a bag from these blocks of ice and opened it at Drake's house to reveal the date.

Drake has been teasing Iceman since 2024, referencing Val Kilmer's character "Iceman" in Top Gun on social media.

He also shared a screenshot of a folder titled "2.0 - Iceman," which was believed to contain songs for the album.

The upcoming album will be Drake's first full-length solo project since his 2023 release For All the Dogs and his highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar.
