Drake might be as motivated as he’s ever been.

During his recent show in Manchester, Drake made headlines by revealing to the crowd that he’s already working on a new album. While he didn’t clarify whether this means he’s started a follow-up to Iceman or still putting finishing touches on it, the energy around the announcement was undeniable. Either way, it signals that Drizzy isn’t letting up anytime soon.

Momentum is clearly on Drake’s side. His latest singles — “What Did I Miss?” and “Which One” with Central Cee — are charting well and dominating streaming platforms. He’s been hitting stages across the globe with strong performances (toilet paper incident aside), and his name has been buzzing online thanks to both support from fans and major co-signs. Drake’s staying power in the game is showing no signs of slowing.

Amid all the music wins, Drake has also been at the center of ongoing drama. From lyrical clashes with Kendrick Lamar to rumored fallouts with longtime allies like LeBron James and The Weeknd, the Canadian rapper has clearly been through a lot in 2024-2025. During his Manchester set, he hinted at needing to speak on it all, saying he has “a lot more to talk about” — a promising sign for fans hoping for deeply personal or fiery new material.

What’s most exciting is the mindset Drake appears to be in. Saying he’s “not tired” — on some Kevin Gates s**t — Drake seems ready to fully express himself across potentially two straight albums. Whether this next drop comes as a new project or an expanded rollout for Iceman, one thing’s clear: Drake’s not done telling his story, and the world is eager to listen.
