With less than a day to go until the arrival of Drake’s long-awaited new album Iceman, his first full-length solo effort since 2023’s For All the Dogs, the Canadian superstar has debuted the fourth episode of his Iceman livestream series.
In three posts shared on Instagram, Drake revealed that the fourth episode would premiere on his official YouTube channel on Thursday (May 14) at 9:45 p.m. ET. Now the episode is finally set to kick off, offering fans a chance to whet their appetites for the record as the hype reaches a fever pitch. He’s expected to preview new material during the show, but he’ll likely have other surprises in store, too.
Drake launched the Iceman livestream series with its first episode last July, followed by a second episode later that month, and a third episode in September. Ahead of the arrival of the album, Drake made the previous streams available on his YouTube channel.
In a rare interview in November, Drake shared that he was inspired to do a livestream rollout for the project because he felt that a traditional album release cycle was redundant. “I have been dying to act and have been dying for a challenge,” he told Complex over email. “The game is extremely calm seas right now. Nobody is rocking any boat on the water and so once we discussed a live stream rollout, it just sounded like the perfect mix of risk and reward for me.”
