The 43 songs across all three albums mark Drake’s first solo full-lengths since 2023’s For All the Dogs, and a follow-up to his 2025 PartyNextDoor collaboration, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. Iceman spans 18 tracks and, on Apple Music, is listed at one hour and eight minutes, while Maid of Honour contains 14 songs and runs 45 minutes and Habibti adds another 11 tracks, making them Drake’s ninth, 10th, and 11th studio albums.

The guest features throughout the LPs highlight a mix of frequent collaborators and up-and-comers including Future, 21 Savage, Molly Santana, Stunna Sandy, Sexyy Red, Central Cee, Popcaan, Iconic Savvy, Loe Shimmy, Qendresa, and PartyNextDoor.

Drake’s album trilogy are his first solo records since his highly publicised feud with Kendrick Lamar in 2025 and in the aftermath of Lamar’s defining diss track, “Not Like Us.” On Iceman, Drake takes aim at everyone from Lamar and A$AP Rocky to Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge.
