Twitch Streamer Kishka Cracks Drake’s Album Code, Wins Grand Prize After Icy Rollout Melts Away Twitch Streamer Kishka Cracks Drake’s Album Code, Wins Grand Prize After Icy Rollout Melts Away

Drake’s elaborate promotional stunt for his upcoming ICEMAN album reached its climax on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, when Twitch streamer Kishka successfully accessed the release date hidden within the viral ice structure in Toronto.

The Canadian rapper had installed hundreds of ice blocks in a public display as part of the marketing campaign for ICEMAN, his first full-length studio album since For All the Dogs in 2023. Drake announced the stunt via Instagram, sharing a photo of himself amid the frozen installation with the caption, “Time to freeze the world, release date inside.”

After the structure was opened for public viewing, fans and streamers gathered at the site, bringing tools such as pickaxes and hawks to chip away at the ice. Some grew impatient waiting for natural melting and began actively breaking off chunks. Kishka, a Twitch streamer known for his ice-breaking efforts, received direct guidance from Drake during a Twitch stream, who advised him to start breaking at the top of the structure.

Following Drake’s instructions, Kishka managed to break a single block from the top layer. His group remained at the summit of the ice formation, even setting up a campfire while continuing their efforts. Other participants in the stunt reportedly used salt, hammers, and fire to accelerate the process, with some streamers receiving significant subscriptions from Drake as incentives for their involvement.

The ice structure was confirmed to contain the official release date for the ICEMAN album. Kishka’s successful access to the hidden information marked the conclusion of the fan-driven phase of the rollout, transforming what began as a passive waiting game into an interactive, community-led event that drew widespread attention across social media and streaming platforms.

The ICEMAN album represents Drake’s return to solo studio work after a multi-year hiatus, building on the anticipation generated by earlier teasers, including a prior installation at a Toronto Raptors game featuring frozen chairs placed in front-row seating.
