The Tuesday evening (Sept. 15) live premiere didn\u2019t exactly answer that question, but, unsurprisingly, the 6 God previewed new music and delivered videos for records from <em>HABIBTI<\/em> and <em>MAID OF HONOUR<\/em> that were not included in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/uDB1CScElo4?si=p1rSJtW7joFDRCL4\"><em>ICEMAN <\/em>Episode 4<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAlthough Drake clarified that it would be a \u201cnot-so-short film,\u201d <em>FOMO<\/em> was a buffet-style, hour-long visual loaded with the Toronto superstar\u2019s daily grooming routines, pickleball, summer travels, partying, silliness, luxurious flexes, nostalgic callbacks, and more. Though many have turned their backs on him in recent years, he made sure to include several folks within his inner circle who stayed true, such as Kevin Durant, Sexyy Red, TV Gucci, Gordo, Zack Bia, and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tSome new friends and collaborators also popped up, adding even more excitement about what could be coming soon. (Not to mention, he <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/a\/alex-ocho\/drake-2027-tour-announcement-details\">announced a world tour<\/a> is on the docket for 2027 in an interview before the stream.) Between his <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vibe.com\/music\/music-news\/inside-drake-three-album-iceman-takeover-1235173946\/\">trio of albums<\/a> in 2026, a possible fourth, and another worldwide trek, Drake\u2019s 2026-2027 is already worth discussing among his most lauded eras, namely his <em>Take Care, Views<\/em>, and <em>Scorpion<\/em> LPs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIf you haven\u2019t watched <em>FOMO<\/em>, have no fear.

Sexyy Red sported red lace and twerked in his house for the \u201cCheetah Print\u201d video, Stunna Sandy joined him to ride jet skis in Turks and Caicos for \u201cOutside Tweaking,\u201d and his mother Sandra \u201cSandy\u201d Graham\u2014with her new \u201cICEMOM\u201d tattoo\u2014had a night out on the town with her friends for the \u201cTrue Bestie\u201d visual. Drake even included footage of their conversation about how long they had been friends and how they met him as a child. In another moment, they\u2019re in a car talking about how confused they were when they first heard \u201cTrue Bestie.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ editors-pick-module lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWinnie Harlow, Lena The Plug, and his \u201c20 V 1\u201d winner Pinkchyu also had lengthy cameos. Lena stopped by \u201cThe Embassy\u201d and took a dip in the pool as he looked on from his balcony. Pinkchyu got a full shopping spree, which included Drizzy dressing up as a goth to match her energy. They also sat on thrones and watched gladiators fight one another at Medieval Times. He dedicated a lot of time to spotlight his third annual Strong Women, Stronger Drinks event, where he gifted attendees vehicles, bags, and money. Some may call it pandering, image rehabilitation, or anything that would devalue his consistent commitment to highlighting women throughout his career. Either way, it was effective, well-curated, and true to the Certified Lover Boy\u2019s ethos.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"in-the-case-of-a-classic-second-verse-bullying-works\" class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-primary-l   \">\n\t\tIn the Case of a \u201cClassic\u201d Second Verse, Bullying Works\t<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAsk, or beg, and you shall receive. While many fans were happy with Drake\u2019s three-album drop, one of the biggest complaints was about how the <em>HABIBTI<\/em> standout \u201cClassic\u201d was too short. Well, deep into the film, he premiered a second part of the song while BenDaDonn and his Kappa Alpha Psi brothers shimmied to the record. It wasn\u2019t a long addition, but it was enough to satisfy the people and show he caters to his fans\u2019 requests.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2026-s-top-rappers-have-been-in-the-studio\" class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-primary-l   \">\n\t\t2026\u2019s Top Rappers Have Been in the Studio\t<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tWhen Drake popped out at Don Toliver\u2019s Toronto show in August and performed records from <em>ICEMAN<\/em> for the first time, it was a layered moment. First, they are undoubtedly the top two rappers with the top two rap albums of 2026, whether you measure the statistics or cultural impact. So for them to link up was a huge moment in itself. Second, it was the biggest look of the Houston star\u2019s career. Third, it begged one question: will they ever collaborate?<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tRelated Content<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tFans got their answer when two different tracks were previewed in <em>FOMO. <\/em>Both were melodic, mid-to-downtempo songs, but one stood out: the teased remix of Ella Langley\u2019s long-running Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas.\u201d Don crooned over a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/MayRXdWlQ0M?si=SIC-Njd3tc40Zp_7\">\u201cGet Throwed\u201d sample<\/a> as footage of him and Drizzy hanging out appeared on screen. Langley even got a quick cameo from their backstage linkup at her recent show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tDrizzy teased nearly ten new records and mixes in the film, ranging from acoustic ballads to island bops, New Orleans bounce tracks, and another rager with Yeat. It\u2019s unclear when and where they\u2019ll all land, but the people are definitely ready for more new music after already getting 43 songs in May.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"subtle-reminders-are-key\" class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-primary-l   \">\n\t\t\u201cSubtle Reminders Are Key\u201d\t<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIf you polled a variety of Drake fans about words that come to mind when thinking of him, a common answer would be nostalgia. He knows this and often leans into it. In <em>FOMO<\/em>, he showed off several of his legendary music video backdrops and cover art: the original dinner table from <em>Take Care<\/em>, the twin towers from <em>$ome $exy $ongs 4 U<\/em>, the beach from \u201cGod\u2019s Plan,\u201d his foyer featured in \u201cToosie Slide,\u201d the pillars from \u201cWhisper My Name,\u201d the colorful room from \u201cHotline Bling, and many, many more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIt doubled as a fun trip down memory lane and a reminder of what he has provided throughout his storied career. People tried to write his ending from March 2024 onward, yet he stands stronger than ever, and undoubtedly no artist can match his output.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"fun-is-a-priority-but-drake-hasn-t-fully-let-vengeance-go\" class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-primary-l   \">\n\t\tFun Is a Priority, But Drake Hasn\u2019t Fully Let Vengeance Go\t<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIt\u2019s not a Drake visual if he isn\u2019t being unserious. He sported a blue Michael Jackson-esque jacket and did his best MJ dance moves in the \u201cCheetah Print\u201d visual, cosplayed a gothic man with Pinkchyu while \u201cPrincess\u201d played, dressed up as Iron Man alongside War Machine-dressed Loe Shimmy while playing carnival games to the tune of \u201cI\u2019m Spent,\u201d and sang along to \u201cRusty Intro\u201d at a dive bar while women played pool. It was another reminder that he is arguably at the peak of his powers when he isn\u2019t being too rigid, which is hilarious considering how venomous he was on <em>ICEMAN<\/em> just four months ago.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tMake no mistake, though: he still had bars for the naysayers. As the credits rolled at the end of <em>FOMO<\/em>, he spat multiple noteworthy lines in an unreleased cut. \u201cRap is all we had, they f**ked it up,\u201d \u201cI felt like Arthur in that meme, my fist was balled up,\u201d and \u201cFunny how y\u2019all gon\u2019 die up on this hill, this sh*t hilarious.\u201d In an earlier track, he sang \u201cI got way more money than friends right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOne of the biggest critiques of <em>ICEMAN<\/em> was that he was still hung up on the 2024 rap beef with Kendrick Lamar and all of the friends he had lost, but when you consider the public lashings he took and is still taking, not to mention human emotions, him still having things to say about his enemies makes all of the sense in the world. Time will tell if he will ever truly move on, but for now, even though he\u2019s having a blast in life, he hasn\u2019t forgotten what people said and did to him. It is Iceman season, after all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/drake-fomo-livestream-five-takeaways-1235627773\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drake\u2019s promotion of Fear Of Missing Out (FOMO) four months after unleashing three albums left many wondering whether a fourth LP was on the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":72931,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop","article","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","thumbnail-"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72930"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72930\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72931"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musicianvoice.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
