With Drake’s ICEMAN expected to arrive on Friday, fans are anxiously waiting to find out when the album will officially hit streaming services. Even with less than 24 hours to go, Drake has kept almost everything about the project under wraps. There’s still no official tracklist, album cover, runtime, or feature list, but the anticipation surrounding the release continues to build.
The excitement intensified after three songs leaked online last night, including “1 AM In Albany,” a track filled with aggressive bars aimed at Kendrick Lamar, LeBron James, Joe Budden, and Dr. Dre. It remains unclear whether the song will appear on the final version of ICEMAN.
Tonight at 9:45 PM EST, Drake is also set to release ICEMAN Episode 4, which many fans believe will finally answer some major questions about the album rollout.
Speculation about the release time grew after Drake reportedly texted Dr. Calvin Jung saying the album had already been submitted. If that’s true, ICEMAN could arrive right at midnight. In the past, Drake has delayed releases until 6 AM EST while waiting on final mixes or feature clearances, but this rollout appears to be much more organized.
For now, Drake has not officially confirmed the release time, so fans are still relying on clues and speculation while counting down to the album’s arrival.
