Bundle up, Drake season has returned. Not one, not two, but three albums arrived on Friday (May 15) courtesy of the 6 God.
In addition to Iceman, Drake is dropping Habibti and Maid of Honour alongside the heavily anticipated LP. The trio of projects comes on the heels of Drake’s Iceman episode four livestream, which went down on Thursday night (May 14).
Iceman boasts 18 tracks and features 21 Savage, Molly Santana and a reunion with Drake’s What a Time to Be Alive collaborator Future. Maid of Honour contains 14 songs and collaborations with Stunna Sandy, Central Cee, Sexyy Red, Iconic Savvy and Popcaan. While Habibti has 11 new songs and lifts from Sexyy Red once again, Loe Shimmy and PartyNextDoor.

Drake’s ninth, 10th and 11th studio albums serve as his first since clashing with Kendrick Lamar in 2024 and 2023’s For all the Dogs, which went No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 402,000 equivalent album units in the U.S., according to Luminate.
Drizzy has been teasing Iceman since 2025 and he’s been on another level with the marketing and rollout for the project compared to previous releases.
Most notably, Drake put up a massive ice block structure in downtown Toronto, which ended up being taken down days later by Toronto’s fire department for being a public hazard.
Before the structure was melted, a streamer named Kishka ended up finding an Iceman folder inside the installation, which revealed the album’s May 15 release date. Drake’s team hooked him up with a $50,000 payday for the discovery. He also turned his courtside seats at multiple Toronto Raptors games into frozen icicles.
As far as his previously released singles, tracks like “Which One” and “Dog House” didn’t make the cut for the albums, while “What Did I Miss” landed on Iceman.

If Iceman or any of the other pair of albums top the Billboard 200, that will give Drake a record 15 No. 1s, which would break a tie with Jay-Z when it comes to rappers. Drizzy has the opportunity to occupy the top three of the Billboard 200 next week, which has only been done in the past by Michael Jackson. However, he’d be the first to hold the top three slots with debuts simultaneously.
Stream Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour below.
