Seemingly discontented with only one album dropping on May 15, Drake unveiled three new LPs at the same time: Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour. Features across the trio include Future, Molly Santana, and 21 Savage, with beats coming from Ovrkast, Boi-1da, DJ Frisco954, and more.
Drake first revealed he’d be tripling his career album count during the fourth episode of his ongoing Iceman livestream series. The stream also premiered a number of music videos, primarily shot in and around Toronto, with cameos from Shane Gillis, DJ Akademiks, and Drake’s son, Adonis. The cover for Maid of Honour features an image of Drake’s mother as a young woman, while Iceman’s album art depicts a hand wearing a sequined glove that emulates Michael Jackson. Habibti’s cover shows a black-and-white photo of a woman covered in masking tape, leaving only her eyes visible.
Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour are the rapper’s first solo efforts since 2023’s For All the Dogs—not to mention the first since Drake’s earth-scorching battle with Kendrick Lamar. Drake first spoke of Iceman’s existence at the top of last year. “When the time is right, I’ll be back with another album—a one-on-one conversation with y’all that you need to hear,” he said during a stop on his Anita Max Win Tour. In the lead up to its release, Drake commissioned a team to build a giant ice sculpture (get it?) in the middle of downtown Toronto, with the album’s eventual premiere date hidden somewhere inside. In 2025, Drake released $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, his collaborative album with PartyNextDoor.
