Drake season is upon us. The OVO boss announced plans for yet another Iceman livestream on Wednesday (May 4), with episode four set for May 14.
“EPISODE FOUR MAY 14,” Drake wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the number four and an ICE MAN graphic.
The 6 God also posted photo collages from what appears to be the first three episodes of livestreams, which date back to July 4, 2025.
There wasn’t a time revealed for May 14’s stream, but it should lead into Iceman‘s arrival on May 15. OVO fans hopped into Drizzy’s comments and were extremely hyped at the idea of a Drake album being released within the next 10 days.
“Reminder!: May 15 is International Stay on That Side Day,” one person wrote. It’s fitting that Drake’s announcement for episode four came just shy of May 6 at 6 p.m. ET.
Drake’s shown intentionality with the extended Iceman rollout dating back to 2025, which has been turned up quite a few notches in recent weeks.
Drizzy put the rollout and marketing into another gear when a massive ice block structure was built in downtown Toronto. Streamer Kishka ended up finding the Iceman folder inside the thawing installation, which revealed the album’s May 15 release date and scored him $50,000 from Drake’s team for the discovery.
Drake released singles like “What Did I Miss,” “Which One” and “Dog House” in 2025, but has yet to drop a single in 2026, and it appears there won’t be any new music until Iceman‘s arrival.
Iceman will serve as Drake’s first solo LP since his blockbuster battle with Kendrick Lamar in 2024 and 2023’s For all the Dogs, which topped the Billboard 200.
