Drake Plays a Surprise Performance With Don Toliver in Toronto

The rapper debuted "Shabang," "Burning Bridges" and "Janice STFU" live during a surprise appearance at Don Toliver's Toronto show on his Octane world tour last night (Aug. 30). "This is my first time performing the album since it dropped, so thank you for being here," Drake told the crowd.

Iceman has taken the stage.

Last night (Aug. 30), Don Toliver sent his fans into a frenzy by bringing out Drake to perform during the Toronto stop on his Nitrous tour. As roars erupted throughout Scotiabank Arena, Drake played tracks from his No. 1 album Iceman for the first time ever, kicking off with his Canadian top 10 hit "Shabang," which transitioned directly into "Burning Bridges."
