Drake releases three albums at once: after “Iceman” comes “Maid Of Honour” and “Habibti”

Not just “Iceman”. Drake caught everyone off guard by releasing three albums at once, opening a new chapter of his career with a move as spectacular as it is ambitious.
As announced a few days ago via a hidden message inside a giant ice sculpture installed in Toronto, “Iceman,” the Canadian rapper's ninth studio album, arrived overnight. The record contains eighteen tracks and features collaborations with Future, 21 Savage and Molly Santana. But the real twist came right after: alongside “Iceman,” Drake also released two other previously unheard projects, “Maid Of Honour” and “Habibti.”
Two parallel works that seem to reveal the artist's more intimate and sentimental side. “Habibti,” the feminine form of the Arabic word Habib (“my love”), leans into affectionate, relational moods, while “Maid Of Honour” openly evokes family and marriage, a suggestion reinforced by the cover art, which presumably depicts the rapper's mother, Sandy Graham.

Unlike “Iceman,” which is more focused on ego, status and self-representation, the two “satellite” albums are more modest in scale. “Habibti” gathers eleven tracks for about thirty-four minutes, featuring Sexyy Red, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Qendresa and Loe Shimmy. “Maid of Honour,” meanwhile, offers fourteen tracks for a total of forty-five minutes, with guests including Stunna Sandy, Central Cee, Popcaan, Iconic Savvy and once again Sexyy Red.
For Drake, this marks a thunderous comeback after several relatively quiet months following his highly publicized rivalry with Kendrick Lamar. During that period the Canadian had only released “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U,” a joint project with PARTYNEXTDOOR. His last solo album before this triple release was “For All The Dogs,” released in 2023.
