The Iceman is defrosting. Drake appeared to announce plans for a second episode of Iceman for Thursday night (July 24) with a livestream set for 9 p.m. ET.

“[Ice cube emoji] EASTERN STANDARD TIME,” he wrote alongside a “9 PM” image. Fans and Drizzy’s peers were hyped at the announcement. “Icy like 1017,” Zack Bia wrote in the comments while referencing More Life‘s “Ice Melts.”


The island-tinged beat Drake was freestyling to during episode one of Iceman while driving was the same track the 6 God previewed featuring Central Cee during his Wireless Festival set earlier in July.

At the time of the festival, Drake also teased that a release of the collab that’s been tentatively titled “Which One” was on the imminent horizon. Putting the pieces together, it’s possible that the OVO-Cench link-up is next on the docket for Iceman.

“All the girls that’s here for the truth/ Come put both hands on the DJ booth then/ Wine your waist to the big man’s sound/ And I get too stiff ’cause the tings too round, good god,” Drizzy raps on the snippet.

Drake teased Iceman‘s arrival during his Birmingham show on Monday (July 21). “I’m working on my album Iceman, so we got a lot to talk about,” he told the crowd.

Cench and the 6 God previously joined forces for the “On the Radar Freestyle” while Drizzy was in NYC for his It’s All a Blur Tour run in 2023.

Drake kicked off the Iceman rollout with “What Did I Miss?” on July 5, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

With Thursday serving as an off-day for Drake on his European tour, Thursday night’s stream makes sense following his pair of shows in Birmingham before heading to Manchester this weekend.

Earlier this week, Drake headed to the Black Sabbath Bench while in Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown of Birmingham to pay homage to the late rock legend, who passed away at 76 on Tuesday (July 22). “I just came out to pay respects to someone who lived it to the fullest,” Drake told The New York Times.

Canadian Musicians Remember Heavy Metal Pioneer Ozzy Osbourne

Following the legendary rock singer's death on Tuesday, Canadian artists like Drake, Randy Bachman, Geddy Lee, Voivod and more offer tributes and anecdotes testifying to Osbourne's immense impact.

Ozzy (John Michael) Osbourne, the English vocalist who helped create heavy metal with Black Sabbath prior to launching a highly successful solo career, died on July 22, at age 76. He had been suffering from Parkinson's Disease, a condition he revealed in 2019.

His death came just 17 days after he performed at Black Sabbath's final concert in their hometown of Birmingham. The "Back to the Beginning” concert featured performances from a long list of heavy metal royalty, including Metallica, Anthrax, Tool, Slayer and Pantera. A Billboard obituary reported that "the show netted $190 million, making it the highest grossing charity concert of all time."
