In 2024, there was a significant shift in public sentiment towards Drake, with many attempting to permanently diminish his influence. Although they did not fully succeed in this endeavor, Kendrick Lamar and his associates certainly had their share of impactful moments, particularly in relation to the former.

Following the conclusion of their feud, Drake largely maintained a low profile, aside from the release of his collaborative Toronto R&B album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, titled $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. However, he is now revving up his activities by officially launching his next solo album.

It appears that fan speculation was correct, as ICEMAN is set to be released later this year. Despite his dedicated fans being aware of its impending arrival, Drake managed to catch everyone off guard yesterday by announcing a livestream event scheduled for 9 p.m. standard time.

Entitled “ICEMAN EPISODE ONE,” The Boy utilized this YouTube stream to showcase new tracks, including one titled “What Did I Miss?” In this song, the OVO leader reflects on the events that transpired within his circle last year and how things deteriorated so rapidly.

Consequently, he subtly critiques artists such as Rick Ross and Future, both of whom have been his long-time collaborators, as well as his now estranged friend, LeBron James. The NBA superstar enjoyed himself at Lamar’s “Pop Out” concert, an event that Drizzy alludes to in the latter part of the track.

Stay tuned for the remainder of the rollout, as there will be numerous elements to analyze in the coming days.
