Drake is back, and he's bringing the chill. The Toronto rap icon dropped his highly anticipated album "Iceman" on Friday, May 15, and it's already breaking records—becoming Spotify's most-streamed album of 2026 in just 24 hours. But Drake didn't stop there. In a surprise move, he also released two additional projects: the electronic-infused "Maid of Honour" and the R&B-heavy "Habibti."

This marks Drake's first full-length releases since his 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar. He's been teasing "Iceman" for nearly a year, starting with the "What Did I Miss?" single as part of his "Iceman" YouTube series. The album's title has stirred some controversy given the current political climate around immigration, but true to form, Drake has kept his focus on what he does best—making hits.

And speaking of his best, Drake has never been shy about his love for sports. The "Certified Lover Boy" is known for weaving athlete shoutouts into his lyrics, often name-checking his close friends in the game. His ties to the NBA run deep, especially with his hometown Toronto Raptors. For the "Iceman" rollout, the team even "froze" two courtside seats in his honor.

Of the three albums, "Iceman" delivers the strongest rap performance, packed with nods to some of basketball's biggest stars. One standout moment comes on the West Coast-inspired track "2 Hard 4 The Radio," where Drake gives a shoutout to his longtime friend Stephen Curry. The lyric references Curry's jersey number and his college roots: "Back when they was askin' 'bout where Davidson was at / Now everybody got a blue thirty on they back."

It's a powerful reminder of how far the Golden State Warriors legend has come—and how Drake loves to celebrate that journey. Whether you're a fan of the music or the game, "Iceman" is a cold, must-listen for any sports enthusiast.
