Drake Opens Up About the Creative Process Behind His ‘Iceman’ Livestreams: ‘Dying for a Challenge’

"What I hate is the redundancy of this formulaic approach that's ingrained in our brains," Drizzy said.

Drake sought to reinvent his album rollout style with the three Iceman episodes released earlier this year. The 6 God opened up about his creative process and his intentions with the livestreams in a rare interview with Complex on Tuesday (Nov. 18).

“I have been dying to act and have been dying for a challenge,” Drake said. “The game is extremely calm seas right now. Nobody is rocking any boat on the water and so once we discussed a livestream rollout, it just sounded like the perfect mix of risk and reward for me.”
