Drake Says He’s Working on ‘Iceman’ as a Party Rages Outside: ‘I’ll Turn Up, Do Shots, Come Back’

Drake is hard at work finishing his ninth solo album Iceman — even if everyone around him isn’t working at all.

During a Kick stream with Adin Ross, the Toronto rapper said he planned to burn the midnight oil to work on his upcoming project while there was some sort of party outside of where he was recording.

“I’ll stay up all night f—ing recording forIceman,” he told Ross. “They’re having a full-blown party outside. I can hear a thousand people, them having a street festival all day. I’ll f—ing run out there. I’ll turn up with them, do shots, come back — like, I just want a little, you know, I wanna feel it.”

Elsewhere on the stream, Adin revealed he’s had the privilege of already listening to the highly anticipated project, but Drake wasn’t exactly enamored with the way he delivered the news.

“I’ve already listened to the whole Iceman album. I already listened to everything, he sent me the whole album early… Great album,” the popular streamer told the chat before Drake responded with, “Now people are gonna say that you’re underwhelmed by it when you f—ing talking about it like that.”

“It was f—ing amazing,” Adin then answered.

This wasn’t the first time Drake worked on new music while a party was happening near where he was recording. A few months back, OVO signee Smiley said he noticed his label boss working on new music during parties and while filming the “Nokia” music video.

“We’re at a party and he was in the other room by himself eating pasta with wired headphones writing music while we have a whole f—ing party going on,” Smiley said in a clip shared on social media. “He’s on a different mode right now. Even at the ‘Nokia’ video shoot…in the breaks, he had a bunch of producers and was just recording. So, he’s in that crazy mode right now. You see his captions…the man’s talkin’ his sh– because he’s in that mode right now.”

Iceman does not have an official release date yet.
