Drake’s Toronto Mansion Gets Virtually Iced Out in Pics Ahead of ‘Iceman’ Album Release

It looks like its going to be an ice cold summer based on the snaps on "Drake Related."

Don’t bother checking the forecast, because based on Drake‘s latest move it’s going to be an ice cold summer. In the latest chapter of the “Hotline Bling” MCs slow-but-steady rollout for his upcoming Iceman album, due out on May 15, Drake gave his Toronto mansion, The Embassy, a frosty makeover.

In a series of pics on his Drake Related site, Drake shared snaps in which the front entrance to his estate is covered in icicles and frost, including his fleet of luxury vehicles. In a testament to what fans can expect from the album, the studio space was also iced out, with snow and icicles dripping from the consoles and keyboards and covering a C-shaped couch at the center of the room.
