Drake had a lot to say on his new album ICEMAN, which joined two other new projects in HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR. The rap-centric tracklist delved into post-2024 beef reflections, personal strife, and perseverant confidence in a way many fans had been begging for. But none of it would’ve hit as hard if the production on ICEMAN wasn’t as consistent, hard-hitting, and sharp as it is.

There are many sonic gems to speak of on this new record. But we chose five of the best in the short hours since its release. With more time, these cuts and others will reveal themselves to be even more compelling and well-crafted.

The album’s title already set the tone, and the producers on these credits lived up to that with full force. There are amazing soundscapes for the Toronto superstar’s woes and wins, making gritty verses and more casual moments come alive.

“Make Them Cry”

Starting off with the consensus ICEMAN highlight, “Make Them Cry” is a Drake fan’s hip-hop dream. It evokes earlier intros like “Tuscan Leather” with its three-part instrumental, but does so with even more cohesion between its separate parts. Percussion begins as crisp, turns dusty, and settles into stark territory by the end, never letting The Boy’s flow fall off the rails. Lush sample work in all three parts also goes a long way to make each part feel distinct, whereas the washed-out and hazy production approach across all three helps it all come together. It’s cinematic and evocative in the best way, while still emphasizing the OVO mogul’s penchant for making the most out of disparate space.

“Little Birdie”

Although this track stands in contrast to most of ICEMAN, “Little Birdie” is one of Drake’s most creative artistic fusions on the tracklist. The tempo, pace, and bounce of this track might evoke some of the West Coast-adjacent sounds he fully sought to emulate on “2 Hard 4 The Radio” earlier on the record. But it mixes that energy more compellingly with the 6ix’s submerged melodies, ghostly vocal samples, and brooding bass. As such, it feels like more of a statement than just hopping on Kendrick Lamar’s home turf for a petty imitation. Instead, it turns that pettiness into something Drizzy makes more of his own. Sadly, his buzzy and warbled vocal treatment on the track does take some of the sting out.

“Whisper My Name”

“Whisper My Name” is one of Drake’s most characteristic beats on ICEMAN, serving as a bit of a summary of the whole project’s tone. It meshes trap drums with eerie piano line and a wailing synth line that really amps up the menace in Aubrey Graham’s delivery. It’s not overly noisy like some moments on the album, and it doesn’t lose itself in its space either. Of course, more dramatic string and vocal embellishments as the song goes on also builds this idea in a very gratifying way. It’s a great balance between grand scale and minimal simplicity, especially for a tracklist that leans more overtly in either direction on other cuts.

“Make Them Pay”

As for the best sample flip on ICEMAN, Drake lets his pen loose on “Make Them Pay.” The sample calling out for freedom doesn’t make up a complicated loop, but its simple effectiveness hits that much harder when Drizzy sings along towards the end. There’s a generally nostalgic tone here thanks to the piano keys and the boom-bap drums, even if the lyrical venom is still there. It turns some of the reflections on this album from vengeful retorts into more aspirational and earnest statements, letting go of some of the rest of the tracklist’s frigid or explosive bravado. It just so happens to be one of the best rapping performances here, and lived up to that weight gracefully.

“National Treasures”

Finally, “National Treasures” is one of the Drake tracks we heard before ICEMAN via leaks. But that first beat still hits incredibly hard thanks to the lush and spacey synth lead that refuses to escape the mix. The trap drums feel large and impactful as well, and the swirling vocal sample for the beat switch immediately catches your ear. Dramatic and heavy percussion hits help keep the chaos in check, and builds up cathartically to the final beat drop. One of the album’s most anticipated cuts fortunately lived up to its potential, and it will probably remain one of the fanbase’s beloved favorites.

Drake finally dropped his new album ICEMAN, and the biggest surprise was its inclusion in a three-project release that rocked the music world last night (Thursday, May 14). His biggest supporters and critics are reacting to this new music, with Ebro Darden offering a pretty interesting perspective considering his past beef with him.

The reaction appeared today (Friday, May 15) on the latest episode of The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show alongside Laura Stylez and Peter Rosenberg. The episode below begins with that discussion. Darden said he wasn’t able to finish ICEMAN – or the other LPs, for that matter. But he said he liked what he heard from his initial listens, with all the hosts agreeing they need more time to give full reviews and assessments of these drops.

“I also think this Drake album is in time for the summer,” Ebro expressed. “Summertime Drizzy, outside. People love this about Drake: I definitely heard raps that people will use as their Instagram captions. He’s got Instagram caption rap.”

From there, the hosts discussed potential first week sales numbers for ICEMAN and joked about Ebro’s beef with Drake amid the former’s positive reception to the latter’s new music. Darden said he heard pettiness on the album, but again, they have to dive deeper to make a full assessment.

Drake & Ebro’s Beef

For those unaware, Drake’s been beefing with Ebro for his many years of criticism, disdain, and scorn against him. Most recently, when the radio hosts lost their Hot 97 “In The Morning” gig, the Toronto superstar celebrated the firing on social media.

In response, Darden and his cohosts have mostly joked about the situation, but they also clapped back with disdain of their own. We will see if a deeper listen to these three albums leads to a stronger reevaluation.

Elsewhere, other media reactions to Drake’s new albums are generating conversation for other reasons. DJ Akademiks, one of his strongest supporters, seemed to almost fall asleep while listening to HABIBTI. Whether it’s viral one-off moments or deeper discussions in controlled environments, everyone will have something to say about this trilogy. We’ll just see how the discourse evolves.

The post Drake Pokes Fun At Nicki Minaj & Cardi B’s Feud On New Album “ICEMAN” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Drake and Kendrick Lamar lay claim to the most infamous rap beef of the past 20 years. But two femcees aren’t far behind. Nicki Minaj has been feuding with Cardi B for almost a decade now, and the former’s Young Money colleague referenced their tensions on his new album ICEMAN.

Specifically, the reference to the feud appears on the track “Don’t Worry.” It’s one of the more easy-going, melodic, and catchy cuts on the project. “Candy-pink paint job, she pull up like a Barbie / Ref1, he so drunk, he just played Nicki then some Cardi, I’m sorry,” he rapped on the cut.

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B’s feud is well-documented at this point. So most fans know not to put them too close to one another in any capacity. While they haven’t explicitly engaged in lyrical warfare, direct social media shots and a whole lot of subliminal shade peppered both of their runs over the past ten years or so.

There has been a lot of speculation about Drake’s position concerning Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. Some Barbz feel he could do more to take a stand for Nicki, whereas others don’t see this as necessary. Either way, the 6ix God is well aware to steer clear of any awkward moments. But he can still laugh about them, too.

Drake & Nicki Minaj’s Relationship

Drake and Nicki Minaj share a close friendship with roots in their Young Money run. Most recently, while they aren’t always talking about one another on social media, it seems like they still have a lot of love for one another. The Toronto superstar recently featured on his Trinidadian counterpart’s Pink Friday 2 album.

As for Cardi B, she and The Boy haven’t connected in a long time. But there’s no indication of any bad blood there necessarily.

Meanwhile, this is just one of many big bars fans caught on ICEMAN. The OVO mogul also dropped two other albums, HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, for listeners to dive into. It’s a lot of music to digest in the mere hours since its triple release, and we’re sure more details will continue to emerge.

Someone said that we’ve been “deprived” of Drake’s music for two and a half years. Not sure if that’s how everyone feels because, frankly, the anti-Drake sentiment has been persistent since 2024. None of the songs he released during the ICEMAN rollout really had staying power like that. “Which One” with Central Cee and “What Did I Miss?” certainly made their rounds, but it wasn’t anything that felt ubiquitous in the same way his music did before the rap beef.

So, the big shocker of the final episode of the ICEMAN livestream happened right at the end, when he announced that he had two other albums to accompany the highly anticipated ICEMAN: Maid Of Honour and Habibti. With three albums in total, Drake, once again, inundated us with more music than we know what to do with, and it seems that not even his most steadfast supporters were able to keep their eyes open during last night’s listening sessions.

Akademiks, who finally got to meet his GOAT and appeared in the livestream last night, was struggling to stay awake, as one video from Elliott Wilson showed.  While listening to Habibti, you could see Akademiks barely bobbing his head while trying to keep his eyes open. We won’t immediately declare that the album is a snoozefest–after all, getting through three projects in the middle of the night following an hour-plus long livestream would probably make anyone tired.

Drake & Akademiks Finally Meet

With the rollout largely centering around streamers and streaming culture, it only made sense that Drake involved Akademiks in the release. The two finally linked up after years–and probably a bit of reluctance on Drake’s part. Drake also gifted an OVO Chain to Ak to commemorate the moment. Check out the clip of Ak above.

Charlamagne Tha God has a pretty contentious relationship with Drake, as previous hatchet burials haven’t diminished Charlamagne’s frequent criticisms of him. This was also the case amid the ICEMAN rollout and the release of HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR, which Tha God spoke to on The Breakfast Club. But more specifically, he explained why he thinks Kendrick Lamar made Drizzy take this route, and how he feels about the post-beef reflections.

As caught by CY Chels on Twitter, Charlamagne said no one has time to have an opinion on all three albums yet, and spoke on his previews concerning Drake’s ICEMAN that panned out to be true. These are Future’s inclusion and the disses towards A$AP Rocky and DJ Khaled.

He also said he liked “Make Them Cry,” but believes The Boy’s frustration with beef narratives is of his own doing “Woe is me, cry me a river, they jumped me mommy, but I’m coming back with the chopper on everybody,” Charlamagne Tha God expressed.

Why Did Drake Drop Three Albums?

Also, he scrutinized the 6ix God’s Khaled criticism concerning silence on Palestine. “What have you ever stood for, Drake?” Charlamagne expressed as hypothetical fan criticisms. “You been out here eating off of the Black experience in America for a long time. I ain’t never heard you say ‘Black Lives Matter.'”

The Breakfast Club also spoke on Drake’s potential UMG exit after these three albums, which might explain the triple release. Loren LoRosa reported that the Toronto superstar self-funded these albums. Or at least, just ICEMAN; it’s unclear.

Then came the K.Dot reflection. “Kendrick beat Drake’s a** so bad that he’s been reflecting on his life the last three years,” Charlamagne Tha God expressed. “You heard him say, ‘I’ma become a man.’ I’ve never seen a man get his a** beat like this and reflect on life in this way. This is crazy. Kendrick really gave him a spanking… All y’all Drake fans might have to thank Kendrick later, for real. He questioning everything… He’s really questioning his life. I just find it funny that it took an a**-whooping. Sometimes, it takes an a**-whooping, though. Sometimes, it’s hard to reach people unless you put some hands on them. These hands were verbal. But it made Drake reflect on his life the last couple of years.”

Drake’s back with his latest album, ICEMAN, and no one is getting spared. Not even DJ Khaled, who frankly wasn’t much of a significant figure in hip-hop’s royal rumble in 2024 until he tried to roll out his album. His attempts to seem impartial failed. Then, he tried to announce that he had two Drake songs on his next album, and clearly, Drake wasn’t really interested in working with anyone who wasn’t coming to his defense.

Ultimately, it’s turned into a f*ck everyone campaign, and Khaled, specifically, caught one of the most personal disses on the album. On “Make Them Pay,” Drake fires shots directly at Khaled, claiming that his people are still waiting for him to do the bare minimum: say Free Palestine.

And, Khaled, you know what I mean/ The beef was fully live, you went halal and got on your deen/And your people are still waitin’ for a free Palestine/But apparently everything isn’t black and white and red and green, damn,” Drake raps.

DJ Khaled’s Apparent Response To Drake

Despite being completely f*cking silent on any issues related to Palestine throughout the past few years, Khaled shared a post that one might interpret as a response to Drake. He shared a video of himself riding a horse with his family in Jamaica, along with a specific quote from Sizzla’s “Dem Ah Wonder.”

LET GOD RISE AND ALL HIS ENEMIES SCATTER .
No man nuh badda than JAH and a wi a run JAH crew
Unoo come in a unoo thousands and two
They stand against you and hating me
Dem just caant go through dem heart nuh clean nor free
I remind dem so much of who they are supposed to be
I am of royalty dem lost dem identity
.”

In the song, Sizzla is basically saying that some people resent him because he reminds them of the dignity, identity, and higher standards they’ve abandoned. So if this does work as some sort of response to Drake, it doesn’t necessarily make sense considering Khaled has been mum as it relates to oppression, genocide, and the occupation of Palestinian land. And if Khaled truly believes that he “remind dem so much of who they are supposed to be,” then maybe he’s suggesting that Drake, too, shouldn’t speak out against what’s happening in Palestine. 

What do you think? Is DJ Khaled trying to slyly respond to Drake? Let us know in the comment section below.

The post Drake Affirms His UMG Lawsuit Is A Fight Against “The Man” On “ICEMAN” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
Drake made sure to feed every single one of his fans via three new albums, of which HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR are more melodic and romantic offerings. But ICEMAN is where he takes the gloves off and goes hard against his opposition, including his parent label Universal Music Group (UMG).

On the track “B’s On The Table” with assistance from 21 Savage, Drizzy raps the following line: “I’m fighting The Man, not suing the rapper, you boys is not listening.” This references Drake’s defamation lawsuit against UMG over “Not Like Us,” the diss track from Kendrick Lamar from two years ago.

With this lyric, he’s painting the major record company as “The Man,” the symbol of institutional power and dominance he’s now fighting against. The Boy is making the factual clarification that his lawsuit is against the record label, not against Kendrick for releasing the track. This line also might be a sly reference to “fighting the man” in person, wanting his confrontation with Lamar. By saying he’s not “suing the rapper,” the Toronto superstar could be making the distinction between what his professional career moves indicate and what his actual in-person energy dictates.

Why Did Drake Drop Three Albums?

This conflict with UMG might also tie into Drake’s triple release of ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR. Many fans assume he dropped all three albums to get out of his label deal, as OVO released these full-lengths under Republic Records, a division of UMG. Now, the OVO mogul might go independent or seek a home elsewhere. Either way, it’s clear the relationship with the parent label is at a point of agreed-upon severance, if not an outright conflictive exit.

We will have to see if his appeal over the UMG lawsuit’s dismissal is successful or if the court already sealed its fate. Whether lyrically or in court, Aubrey Graham is making it clear he’s not backing down yet.

This specific line on “B’s On The Table” joins many more post-beef reflections and indignations on ICEMAN. As fans scour through the tracklist to find more, they gain more ideas of where he might go next.

The post Drake’s Three New Albums Lead To Uproarious Fan Reactions appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

]]>
After two years of intense conflict and a whole lot of anticipation, Drake finally dropped his new album ICEMAN And there was a lot more where it came from. He also release two additional projects called HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR to pair the long-awaited LP, which takes more of a hip-hop-centric focus. The former uses R&B as its main inspiration, whereas the latter packed itself with club records.

Unsurprisingly, this massive triple threat release and the material within led to a lot of impassioned, shocked, and divisive social media reactions. For an artist as big as the 6ix God, hate will always come with love, especially after the past two years of Kendrick Lamar-adjacent takedowns. So the debates and arguments on the Internet aren’t a shocker. But it was interesting to see three different records represent three distinct appeals of his.

Starting with ICEMAN, this is where fans got most of the responses to the battle and its ensuing drama. Drizzy barred up heavily on here, delivered the most consistent song structures of his triple bunch, and got a lot off his chest. Many fans were impressed by the technical prowess and hunger, but others had more criticisms for stale beef narratives, corny lyrics, and an unsurprisingly petty perspective.

MAID OF HONOUR is where fans found the most sonic experimentation, with club records pulling from everything from ’80s nostalgia to baile funk, bass music, and beyond. But it’s also where The Boy took the most risks when it comes to playful songwriting and performances, which was dead on arrival for many listeners.

Why Did Drake Drop Three Albums?

Finally, HABIBTI pleased fans who already got a big R&B filling with the PARTYNEXTDOOR collab album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. This led to some pushback for retreading recent territory and taking an overly spacious direction. But then again, this is also exactly what many hardcore OVO fans prefer from him, so it got its love as well.

As for why Drake dropped three albums, many fans assume this was to get out of his record deal with UMG. Now, he might go independent amid his legal battle with the major label over the “Not Like Us” diss track.

Fan Reactions

For all these reasons and more, this triple drop will continue to elicit strong reactions and debates online for the foreseeable future. There’s so much to dig into, and it all feels like a microcosm of this gargantuan and continually versatile career.

The post Drake Takes Shots At A$AP Rocky & Rihanna On “ICEMAN” appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

It seems like much of the speculation surrounding Drake’s latest releases was true. Most recently, Charlamagne Tha God suggested that Drake had choice words for A$AP Rocky and DJ Khaled on ICEMAN. And that turned out to be true. A$AP Rocky and Rihanna ultimately caught a few bars on “Burning Bridges.” 

In the song, Drake raps, “Your baby momma ain’t even post a single, damn, where she at?” And later, raps, “You saw my brother, you was tryna fix it, now you drop your album and you back dissing.” While generic in nature, it doesn’t seem entirely out of place for him to try to go after his ex-girlfriend and ex-friend. The real question is, why does he keep trying to go after people’s partners as if that wasn’t what triggered Kendrick and Pusha to go scorched Earth on him in the first place?

The three-album release from Drake comes with plenty of commentary directed at his foes. Kendrick Lamar and Mustard catch a few strays, obviously, but the one shot that has been getting the most traction online relates to Drizzy’s issues with DJ Khaled. On “Make Them Pay,” Drake calls out the Miami producer for remaining silent on the genocide against Palestinians. Khaled, who is of Palestinian descent, has faced immense backlash since October 7th for failing to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian community during a time when they’re being systemically silenced. Drake, on the other hand, signed a letter calling for a ceasefire weeks after October 7th and also helped fundraise for Lebanon through OVO merch.

Has A$AP Rocky Responded To Drake?

So far, we haven’t heard from A$AP Rocky. Chances are, he probably won’t have much to say in the near future. Rocky already fired shots at Drake on “Stole Ya Flow,” which he later explained wasn’t as serious as people were making it to be.

“I think hip-hop tactics and beefs is like WWF. It’s like wrestling all the way,” he told Ebro. “This thing between us, it’s not real smoke, but I just don’t f*ck with him. We was once friends, I feel like it’s over females. I feel like he wasn’t happy, and he expressed that. I think at some certain point when everybody getting older, it’s just like you’re supposed to be moving on. For you to still be picking at a female and all that, that’s soft to me.”
