Drake's Iceman album freezes CN Tower in city-wide celebration
Three-album drop brings chaotic crowds and surprise fireworks to Toronto as hometown megastar takes over landmark
After weeks of high-profile stunts across Toronto, Drake released his much-anticipated ninth album "Iceman" at midnight Thursday, accompanied by two surprise releases. The Toronto rapper's rollout included a dramatic visual takeover of the CN Tower, which was illuminated with ice effects, and activated locations throughout the city to hype the release. The album drop brought crowds of fans into the streets and generated widespread excitement across social media. One activation at Toronto City Hall left a thank-you note for Mayor Olivia Chow in her office, with Drake even appearing in one of the album's music videos inside the mayor's office.
