Getty Images While streaming the fourth episode of his “Iceman” series on Thursday night, Drake essentially premiered the entire album before its release at midnight ET. But he had two more tricks up his sleeve: the Toronto rapper surprise-dropped a pair of additional albums — “Habibti” and “Maid of Honour” — making for a trio of records amounting to 43 tracks across 149 minutes.
For Drake purists, or the ones who prefer when he goes into rap mode, “Iceman” is the most hard-hitting of the three, an album that looks back on the trials and tribulations of the past few years and the fallout from his highly publicized beef with Kendrick Lamar. Across “Iceman,” Drake aims his former friends turned foes and turns his pain into conviction, sharing how the industry’s betrayal became his rocket fuel.
