Drake is back with not just one album, but three.
The artist had not dropped a solo album since 2023. That changed Friday with the simultaneous release of the previously teased “ICEMAN,” as well as “MAID OF HONOUR” and “HABIBTI.” Collectively, the three LPs include 43 fresh songs across 150 minutes of new music.
