ICEMAN/MAID OF HONOUR/HABIBTI!

Drizy gets hot on ICEMAN.

The long awaited album from Drake is out. Oh by the way, Drake released two additional albums to flood the charts. Which one which one?

Midway Wrap Up at the end of the month.

It appears he decided to fulfill his contract with Republic Records so he can easily end his contract with the label after he voiced frustration with Universal.

Iceman has a reunion between the Champagne Papi and Atlanta legend, Future. After two years of feuding the rappers made peace.

The albums released at midnight from the Canadian-American media mogul. It also continues his long standing feud with Kendrick Lamar.

Future, Molly Santana and 21 Savage are the only appearances on Iceman.

The Maid of Honour.


Maid of Honour was a surprise relase that has a dance-pop, House, rap, R&B and Afrobeats.

Sexyy Red, Stunna Sandy, Popcaan, Central Cee and Iconic Savvy are featured on this album.
Habibti for the closing.

Habibti was the third surprise release is a R&B release.

PartyNextDoor, Qendresa, Loe Shimmy and Sexyy Red are featured on this album,

The hip-hop slump. 

So far the only artists to achieve the No. 1 spot in Billboard music releases has been A$AP Rocky, Don Tolliver and J. Cole. Their singles are bangers but not memorable.

Even mainstream acts like DaBaby, Youngboy Never Broke Again and Ye failed to generate buzz. That is also the backlash for backing President Donald J. Trump. 

Drake's closest allies, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne also faced the backlash too. Nicki Minaj has no interest in recording her new album.

All told, "ICEMAN," "MAID OF HONOUR" and "HABIBTI" feature a combined 43 songs adding up to about 2-and-a-half hours of new music from the 39-year-old rapper. While "ICEMAN" had been publicly in the works, fans got about an hour's notice for the other two, with Drake posting each album's cover art onto separate Instagram posts, followed by "... OUT AT MIDNIGHT."

In one comment, the Canadian social media account for the energy drink Red Bull crossed out the word "sleep" and replaced it with "listen to 3 Drake albums." 

The Instagram post about "ICEMAN," whose name appeared to be the inspiration for the projection on the CN Tower, amassed nearly 3 million reactions on the social media platform by 3 a.m. The cover art features allusions to two pop stars, a Michael Jackson-esque white bedazzled glove and a Taylor Swift "Eras Tour"-esque friendship bracelet. Swift notably released "Folklore" and "Evermore" simultaneously in 2020.

The last stand. Drake releases three albums to end his ties with Universal.

While the bulk of the new albums feature solo work, there are also reunion tracks off "ICEMAN" with past collaborators 21 Savage and Future. Sexyy Red, the 28-year-old rapper from Missouri, was featured on both "MAID OF HONOUR" and "HABIBTI." 

Born Aubrey Drake Graham in Toronto, Drake has featured the Canadian skyline and Torontonian iconography on many of his tracks and in his music videos. On 2016's "Views," the rapper can be seen photoshopped sitting atop the 1,800-foot CN Tower. 

The rap fans will debate the releases and many will force Kendrick Lamar to respond.

The whole music industry is corrupt. Even in rap beefs, Drake and Kendrick Lamar have set a new precedent in how music is being released.

The whole situation is now made hip-hop face a major slump. If Drake does occupy all three spots upon these releases, it will seal him as biggest artist to break No. 1 on Billboard.

Drake also noted he doesn't care whether he is No. 1 or any chart.
