Iceman season is almost here. Adding another chapter to the Iceman rollout, Drake<\/a> is set to reveal the anticipated album\u2019s release date, which is hidden inside a massive block of ice in downtown Toronto.<\/p>\n

\u201cRelease date inside,\u201d Drake cryptically wrote to his Instagram Story<\/a> on Monday (April 20), with coordinates of a Toronto location, which appears to be a parking lot on the corner of Dundas Street East and Bond Street.<\/p>\n

More from Billboard<\/p>\n

He followed up with a post<\/a> of the mammoth ice block on his Instagram, located at 81 Bond Street in Toronto.<\/p>\n

Photos and clips quickly emerged on Monday afternoon featuring construction personnel hard at work piecing the glacier blue ice structure together block by block.<\/p>\n

OVO fans were piqued and showed up to the location in droves, while other owls on social media began throwing out predictions of the release date or when the ice will eventually melt. Now the countdown begins toward the reveal of Iceman\u2018s arrival, which should be official in the coming days, with temperatures surging into the 50s by Wednesday (April 22).<\/p>\n

Drake has continued to drop Iceman hints in recent days<\/a> on his Instagram Story. \u201cIts in,\u201d he wrote alongside a photo of him stacking ice blocks.<\/p>\n

Earlier in April, a fiery explosion was seen in Toronto around the Downsview Airport. Now <\/a>confirmed that the pyrotechnics were part of an upcoming Drizzy music video.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust all of a sudden, everything shook. The bed shook, the floor shook, the windows were rattling, everything,\u201d resident Rosanna Laboni told\u00a0CBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On April 12, Drake\u2019s courtside seats were turned frozen<\/a> for the Toronto Raptors season finale at Scotiabank Arena, signaling that Iceman was on the horizon.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrake\u2019s seats froze,\u201d the Raptors wrote to X.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nearly a year of thawing for Iceman, as the OVO boss set the album rollout in motion in 2025 with the release of singles like \u201cWhat Did I Miss,\u201d \u201cWhich One\u201d and \u201cDog House\u201d featuring YEAT and singer Julia Wolf.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Did I Miss\u201d peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> and remains the last top 10 hit from a rapper. He also released a series of livestreams, which saw him previewing unreleased music.<\/p>\n

Drake also teased Iceman\u2018s arrival during a video appearance at the Juno Awards while honoring Nelly Furtado<\/a>. \u201cEnjoy your Hall of Fame status. It\u2019s long overdue. Kill the performance. We love you, dawg.\u00a0Iceman\u00a0coming soon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

With temperatures rising, Iceman is finally thawing and the wait appears to be over with a release date for the album imminent.<\/p>\n
