Drake Unveils 'Iceman' in Triple Drop as 'Ran to Atlanta' With Future Stirs New Talk of Kendrick Feud

The Atlanta focus signals a fresh push in Drake's long-running rivalry with Kendrick Lamar.

Overview

  • Drake announced a three‑album drop in a livestream and released Iceman as one of the projects.
  • Ran to Atlanta features Future and rising artist Molly Santana and marks the pair’s first notable team‑up since Future’s 2022 hit WAIT FOR YOU.
  • Listeners pointed to the chorus about Atlanta and the line “Ask Pluto, Bank or 21” as a nod to Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us, which says Drake “run[s] to Atlanta when you need a check balance.”
  • USA TODAY framed the new track as reigniting the Drake–Lamar feud, while early online reactions swung from excitement over the reunion to criticism of Drake’s showing.
  • Future’s roots in the Atlanta metro, including growing up in Decatur, ground the song’s city-centric theme and tap the city’s outsized place in rap culture.
