The official review of Drake’s ICEMAN is here.
With Rod back in the chamber, the crew finally sits down to break down one of the biggest rap releases of the year. Alongside Spike Lou joining for an additional perspective, the conversation covers everything surrounding the rollout, the music itself, and the massive response the album has received since release.
One of the biggest discussions throughout the review is whether ICEMAN is truly Drake evolving as an artist or simply another version of the same formula fans have gotten for years. Is that familiarity exactly what people wanted from Drake, or is it starting to become a problem moving forward?
Rod also gives his thoughts on Drake making the bold decision to release ICEMAN alongside HABITI and MAID OF HONOUR as part of a three album drop and whether the strategy helped or hurt the overall impact of the music.
From standout tracks and performances to replay value, production, and Drake’s current place in hip hop, the crew covers it all.
