DJ Akademiks says he thinks Drake has gone through multiple versions of "ICEMAN" and has been locked in working on the album since returning home from tour: "I think there's three versions of the cookup, in my opinion. And the third version of the cookup came after he came off tour." "That's the only update he told me. He said, "Ak, when I was doing this episode sh*t, I had to really get all these things done in-between me doing these shows in these different countries. Now I'm home, I'm locked in. I'm working.' I think that's, like, the last official cookup to whatever the album is."

🚨 Akademiks speaks on reports about Drake and Future possibly reconnecting ahead of ICEMAN. Ak says nobody in media actually knows what’s on the album yet, which is why the entire hip-hop conversation is centered around Drake. “J. Cole’s album came and went… it’s Iceman season.” Ak also says Drake previously told him he was never on the phone with Future, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise from Elliott Wilson.

🎥 Akademiks Notices Something Missing in Drake’s Bahamas Studio Sessions… DJ Akademiks tapped in on Drake being in the Bahamas cooking up the ICEMAN album with Gordo and several other producers. But while breaking down the studio clips and credits… he caught something interesting. 👀 🧊 Where’s 40? Ak points out that Drake’s longtime producer 40 (Noah Shebib) has been nowhere to be seen lately. While reviewing the Sexy Songs 4 U production list, Ak noticed: • 40 isn’t credited on most of the new tracks • His name only shows up on songs that sample older records he created with Drake years ago 🎧 Should 40 Be on the ICEMAN Album? Ak says Drake needs 40 involved in this next era. He feels 40’s sound is too important to Drake’s DNA to not be part of the album. 💭 What y’all think should 40 be producing on ICEMAN?

👀🚨Dj Akademiks says Drake’s pen is currently on a completely different level and believes nobody in hip hop can match him lyrically right now 💯 While reacting to Iceman, Ak warned Jay-Z not to even think about responding to Drake 😳 🗣️ Ak: “Jay-Z better not respond to Drake.” Ak says Drake’s writing on Iceman is “devious” and praised the level of lyricism Drake displayed throughout the album. 🗣️ “What Drake displayed lyrically on this album… it’s a different level.” According to Ak, Drake’s pen is so sharp right now that he believes any feature run would end with Drake completely taking over other artists’ songs 😭 🗣️ “You make the song popping and Drake gon’ drop the hottest verse of your life and take your song. It’s his song now.” Ak also said Drake sounds fully reenergized creatively after the album rollout and hinted that fans should want as many features as possible before Drake eventually slows down for touring. During the stream, Ak broke down one of Drake’s bars and suggested Drake may have been sending subtle shots toward Travis Scott with the “stargazing” reference 👀 🗣️ Drake: “Trying to catch one of you boys stargazing…” Ak immediately reacted: 🗣️ “Travis, send the owl in the DM. Let’s see what the vibe is.” 💭 My Opinion: The Stargazing line was also a rebuttal towards Kendrick line at the beginning of his song Squabble Up. “ I was StarGazing” Ak believes Drake layered multiple meanings and subliminals throughout the song, calling parts of the record “quadruple entendres” and saying the writing feels calculated from beginning to end 🔥 He ended by saying Drake’s current rap form reminds him of the version of Drake that completely dominates records and steals the spotlight anytime he hops on a features
