Streamer Kishka found a folder atop the Iceman installation in Toronto, revealing the project’s release date.
Drake’s Iceman album release date has finally been decoded. Streamer Kishka discovered a folder atop the Iceman ice sculpture in Toronto on Tuesday (April 21), which revealed Drizzy’s upcoming LP is set to arrive on May 15.
Just a day after the installation was opened to the public, Kishka’s hard work of chiseling the thawing Iceman block paid off, as he found the Iceman‘s golden ticket. The streamer was instructed to pull up to Drake’s Toronto mansion with the magazine, which included Iceman‘s May 15 release date reveal.
“Iceman May 15,” he repeated. “2024, 2026 will be my year. Holy s—t, bro!” For his efforts, Kishka was gifted a bag of cash from Drizzy’s team.
The opening page of the magazine revealed the release date announcement and that was followed by a t-shirt emblazoned with “2024 is my year,” except the ’24 was crossed out with ’26 scribbled over it.
That t-shirt appears to be Drake playing off the backlash Drizzy felt from hip-hop following his blockbuster battle with Kendrick Lamar in 2024, which defined his year.
Drake has been teasing Iceman for the better part of a year. In 2025, he dropped off singles like “Dog House,” “Which One” featuring Central Cee and “What Did I Miss,” the latter of which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is still the most recent track from a rapper to invade the Hot 100’s top 10.
In more recent months, he hinted at Iceman while honoring Nelly Furtado with a video tribute at the Juno Awards. He also had his courtside Toronto Raptors seats get frozen for the team’s regular season finale on April 12.
Iceman will serve as Drake’s ninth solo studio album and his last since 2023’s For All the Dogs, which topped the Billboard 200, like all of his previous solo album efforts.
Iceman season is here. Look for the album to hit DSPs on May 15.
