What Singles Are Already Confirmed on the Drake ICEMAN Tracklist
Drake has been rolling out ICEMAN material since mid-2025 through a series of YouTube livestream events. Of the three songs those sessions produced, only “What Did I Miss?” made the final 18-track list.
“What Did I Miss?” was the first to surface, debuting during the initial ICEMAN livestream and reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. It remains one of the most-streamed cuts from the rollout.
“Which One,” a collaboration with UK rapper Central Cee, dropped during the second livestream. The track landed on the Canadian Hot 100 and marked Drake’s first high-profile link-up with a British artist since his 2023 run.
“Dog House,” featuring Yeat and singer Julia Wolf, closed out the three-part series. The inclusion of Yeat — one of the most streamed artists of the past two years — signals Drake is actively pulling from the current rap landscape rather than leaning solely on longtime collaborators.
Rumored Features and Collaborators
Beyond the confirmed trio, several names have been consistently linked to the ICEMAN tracklist through leaks, social media activity, and industry sources.
Young Thug and 21 Savage are both considered strong candidates. Drake previously released “It’s Up” featuring both artists during an August 2024 folder drop, and the track’s placement on the album has been rumored since. PARTYNEXTDOOR, Drake’s OVO labelmate, is also expected to appear following their 2025 collaborative album Some Sexy Songs 4 U.
Cash Cobain — the New York drill artist behind the “Fisherrr” sound — has been floated as a newer addition. His inclusion would follow a pattern Drake has maintained for years: anchoring each album era with at least one rising-scene feature.
Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, and Sexyy Red have also been mentioned in fan speculation and music media reports, though none have been confirmed by Drake or his team.
Drake Posts ICEMAN Lyrics on Instagram
Hours before publishing, Drake posted three lyric slides to his Instagram (@champagnepapi), each set against the same icy blue background that has defined the ICEMAN visual rollout. The posts collectively drew over 1.3 million likes within 13 hours.
The first reads: “When I call your bluff, make sure you answer me on that first ring.” The second takes a broader tone, addressing critics and internet culture directly: “Please stop mistaking chat for fact, reels for reality, streaming for flow, and likes for love.” The third leans into the album’s self-aware framing: “Here is something you can all criticize and pretend does not make you feel better than everything.”
The posts represent the first time Drake has shared what appear to be direct lyric previews from ICEMAN. The second slide in particular reads as a pointed response to the online narrative that followed his 2024 rap battle with Kendrick Lamar — a conflict that played out largely through social media reactions and streaming numbers.
Yeat, one of the confirmed ICEMAN collaborators, liked the second post, adding further weight to his expected appearance on the album.
The Kendrick Factor
The ICEMAN tracklist conversation cannot be separated from Drake’s 2024 rap battle with Kendrick Lamar. The beef — which produced tracks like “Push Ups,” “Family Matters,” and ultimately Lamar’s dominant “Not Like Us” — defined the year for both artists.
“Dog House,” one of the confirmed ICEMAN singles, directly references Lamar, making it one of the clearest signals that the album will address the aftermath of the feud. Joe Budden has publicly stated he expects Drake to diss J. Cole on the project as well.
Whether ICEMAN functions as a response record or simply moves forward is one of the central questions surrounding the tracklist. Drake’s shirt — included in the ICEMAN release date reveal and featuring “2024 is my year” with ’24 crossed out and replaced by ’26 — suggests he has not let the narrative go.
Production and Sound
On the production side, Drake has been working with a mix of trusted names and newer collaborators. Boi-1da and Tay Keith — both longtime Drake producers — have been spotted in studio sessions. OZ, known for “Sicko Mode” and “Life Is Good,” is also expected to contribute.
Newer additions include Smash Daddy, who has credits on Khalid’s “Location” and Big Sean’s “Bounce Back,” and Bosley, who has worked with Trippie Redd. The producer O Lil Angel — the alias of British rapper Octavian — received co-production credits on both “What Did I Miss?” and “Which One,” and may appear further across the record.
The sonic direction, based on the three released singles, leans toward a cleaner, more melodic sound compared to For All the Dogs, with production that leaves room for Drake’s singing as much as his rapping.
What’s Next
Drake’s ICEMAN is out now — May 15, 2026 — via OVO Sound / Republic Records. The album runs 18 tracks. In a surprise move, Drake also dropped two additional projects on the same night: Habibti and Maid of Honour. One of the biggest surprises of his career. A world tour is widely expected to follow. Full streaming links will be updated here.
Episode 4 & Final Rollout
Drake confirmed a fourth ICEMAN livestream episode ahead of the May 15 release. The move follows the pattern of previous episodes, which debuted unreleased music rather than traditional singles. No new tracks have dropped in 2026 — Drake has held everything back for the album itself.
The magazine retrieved from the Toronto ice installation also contained images of Sexyy Red, Drake’s father Dennis Graham, and a Pinocchio figure — details that have fueled fan theories about the album’s thematic direction.
Fans can follow updates on Drake’s official Instagram.
