Shepard promise me you'll tell them to subscribe for at free content.
They had to lash together just to try to hold me down.
Who really runs the game?
Well guess what?
I guess it's yet to be found.
Is it okay I got my dope on me?
I said, what the f***?
Now you're probably wondering, where did those lyrics come from?
The world may never know what I'm saying?
I'm not snitching.
Who do need to do?
I said I'm not snitching.
Who do?
My analytic dreams video on Spotify to see a couple of
references that may or may not have just thrown up on your screen, you know, for your eyeballs
to see.
But you know, with that being said, safe to say, ladies and gentlemen, we got another tease from
Drake.
He must think this again.
I just don't like it, man.
You know what I'm saying?
I just don't like that shit, man.
Hey, bro, where Iceman at?
Go take care of your kids, man.
Bro, we're Iceman.
You know what I'm saying?
We've had enough of it.
You guys.
You know what I'm saying?
Got me looking at the screen saying to myself,
I know that ain't who I think it is.
As Drake, aka Arbery Graham.
has posted again about Iceman but where's the album the world may never know so anyways this man said quote
what was I doing when you thought I was crying mm-mm and then he has a picture of somebody with a shirt on the back of it says they doubted me
warning Iceman national agreement if you don't know what that is the the basis around national agreement
and my you know interpretation is that he's about to drop Iceman let's try to have her agreement
a.k.a. Taylor Swift to not drop any vinals on my date. I'm trying to get number one.
If Taylor Swift comes out with a vinyl, when Drake drops Iceman, just know it's going to be a sad day in history.
Is it okay? I got my dope on me? Because we're going to have to go to war. So anyway, it's not wanting to go to war with the Swifties. Let's go to the next post.
So then we have some people, you know, playing that one game, what you call the Arctic Thunder in the Mickey Mouse, not Mickey Mouse, in the Chuckie Cheese arcade, you know, Arc of the Thunder. That's a throwback for the gamers out there.
if you didn't know well guess what um we cover games over here so then also we have drake saying
talk is cheap then we also have this picture i'm assuming it's from like an iceman stream or video
whatever music video i don't know but um a woman around ice cubes what it seems like ice cube i don't know
what this is so anyways then we have his dad um next to a very expensive car and then i don't know
who in the world this is i kid i kid you not i would ask a y'i but they're going to tell me something
crazy. So at the end of the day,
I don't know who that is. Call me ignorant,
but hey, he put that up there for a reason.
But the main thing is warning Ice Man.
So, safe to say, guess what?
You guys.
We don't know what that means.
You know, when it comes to Ice Man,
safe to say, we've had a bunch of teasers
to the point where everybody thought it was dropping
at this particular date,
only for Aubrey Graham to post about Yeba
in her album official launch date.
I know that ain't who I think it is.
So I think Drake obviously knows that we're waiting for Iceman.
I think he's going to keep teasing us.
Do I think the album is going to come out soon?
I think so.
Honestly speaking, some of the behind the scenes leaks,
as far as Ice Man was on Iceman, was not on Iceman.
All of the leaks that's been coming out has been very peculiar.
And I think that type of situation could be stressful for an artist trying to release an album full of new music.
So that's what I'm going to leave it at.
You know, there's a lot of different leaks happening.
i'm not going to go into the depths of how or why i think it's happening i just think it may be
throwing an interesting curveball into the rollout of ice man i'm not saying it's delaying the
album i'm just saying that it's interestingly enough some of the things that showed at the beginning
of the segment may or may not be reasons this iceman album is delayed because maybe drake wants
to give us completely new music and somebody out there keeps leaking it now obviously ain't me
What do they do? You know what I'm saying? Obviously, I think when it comes to the Iceman
launch, a lot of people are going to listen to it to the point where it's probably going to be
the most consumed album of the year. I predict Drake's going to do 500 to 600,000 first week.
I know that may be a lot for some people, but if you're not familiar with the goat, you know what I'm
saying? Is it okay? I got my dope on me?
Just know it's business as usual, especially when it comes to the hip-hop field.
Now, you know, all glazing said to the side, because you know y'all are going to say I'm biased because
Drake is my favorite artist. But, you know, objectively speaking, this man notoriously affects the
masses. You know what I'm saying?
Shepard. All right, my fault. Let me get back on subject. So when looking at this rollout,
there's been a lot of things from Drake that led, that leads us to believe the Iceman is coming
soon. I mean, we had the Central Sea Iceman freestyle. We had the yee and ease the kid first ever
collab, which, you know, shout to them, which they shot the music video solely in Drake's
mansion and then you come to realize
Drake is nowhere on
the charts for the first time in a while.
The top 100 on Billboard
completely is
the disappearance of
Drake on the top 100 is crazy when it comes
to singles. And then of course when it comes to albums
he's still doing well as Take Care
as the 25th most play album in the world
views is the 37th most play album in the world
and of course party next door and Drake
some sexy songs for you. It's the 39th
most play album in a world so when it comes to specifically drink on the charts his albums the older
albums interestingly enough are performing well which you know i gave my deep my uh two cents on why i think
that is but when it comes to singles he's completely off of the charts so i don't know if he's using
his time to take a hiatus because he did release music close to 2026 i mean september 9th 2025 i think was
his last single as far as doghouse with yeat i don't think anything else came out after there
because yeah right before that somebody loves me part two with cash cobane came out and then of
course you already know the rollout the official rollout for ice man as far as to which one track
with central sea as far as the what did i miss track and then but besides that you just had the no
gigs which that was that was 24 so 2026 we haven't had any real offerings from drake
And I believe the first offering will probably be either another single for Iceman,
but I think it's going in the direction of a full album release whenever Iceman episode
4 happens.
Now, of course, my sources is I made it up.
You know what I'm saying?
Woo-ne-do.
And we beat E-Fault.
Woot-D-Doo, we beat them.
We go forward.
But I think that's how the Iceman rollout is going to go forward whenever the album comes out.
So as far as the Drake fans out there, if you was wondering, you know,
Just in case you was wondering, all the songs that may or may not been leaked from Iceman.
I mean, we have certain snippets.
If you wanted to look this up on SoundCloud, YouTube, you know what I'm saying?
I'm not the feds, but there's ways to get out.
You know, there's ways to get it.
So, Drake, the greatest, secrets, national treasure, Supermax, stuck.
What did I miss?
Of course, it's officially out.
Lake Como, spicy hot, which is currently my favorite out of the leak pack.
Plot Twist, of course, you already heard that one.
go figure and of course the single that we just covered not too long ago make them cry which is
probably going to be on ice man so once again i think all of these leaks i'm not going to say
it's helping the iceman rollout but obviously the other side is it's probably hurting and it's probably
maybe pushing the album back so i don't know when the album's going to come out it's safe to say
there's a lot of things dropping from drake's camp such as yebba's coming soon as far as in march
um i don't know who else is coming i think he's about to come i don't think drake want to step on
either of those artists rollout so i would assume drake is not dropping anytime soon and these
leaks are probably going to have to be taken care of before he officially drops ice man but
i will say if we see an iceman episode four i'm confident saying an album is releasing right
after that episode so but that being said once again my sources is i made it up
Woo-de-do.
So that'd be it said, click my link to share my bio.
Let me know in one of my social medias.
What do you think about this?
Drake kerfuffle when it comes to the Iceman rollout.
And when do you think Iceman will be officially released?
