Drake premiered the second chapter of his cinematic livestream series “Iceman” on Thursday (July 24) from Manchester with a dark new track and a bizarre Pinocchio chase.
The 41-minute visual, titled “Iceman Episode 2,” introduced fresh music and cryptic symbolism as the rapper continues the rollout for his upcoming album Iceman.
The stream began around 9:10 p.m. ET, roughly 10 minutes after its scheduled start, following a teaser Drake posted earlier that day.
One of the more surreal scenes showed Drake being chased by a person dressed as Pinocchio, which viewers interpreted as a metaphor for betrayal or dishonesty—possibly aimed at ongoing feuds.
The episode featured a collaboration with U.K. rapper Central Cee, who appeared alongside Drake for the debut of their new song “WHICH ONE.”
The stream had mixed reactions online. Some praised the visuals and Central Cee’s inclusion, while others felt the music offering was thin.
The livestream also included subtle lyrical and visual jabs. Anti-Kendrick Lamar chants could be heard from the crowd, and references to LeBron James were spotted.
“Iceman Episode 2” continues the buildup to Iceman, Drake’s ninth solo studio album, which is expected later in 2025. The first episode, which dropped on July 4, featured the single “What Did I Miss?” and visuals of a Toronto-based ice delivery truck—an apparent nod to the album’s title.
The whole episode is available now on Drake’s official YouTube channel. No release date for Iceman has been confirmed.
