Drake's 2025 Reign: OVO's Evolution, Iceman Hype, and a Potential Rebrand

Drake BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Drake is officially Apple Music’s most-streamed artist of 2025, a major headline that landed Tuesday when Apple Music launched its annual Replay feature. The platform crowned him its top global artist for the year, driven largely by his February collaborative album with PartyNextDoor, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and set a record for most first-day streams on Apple Music for an R&B/Soul album. His single Nokia from that project is Apple Music’s 13th most-streamed song globally this year and has also become the first rap song of 2025 to hit 500 million streams on Spotify, according to Ratings Game Music.

Drake’s 2025 success comes despite not releasing a solo album, with his last proper solo project being 2023’s For All The Dogs. This year he’s been building anticipation for his upcoming ninth studio album, Iceman, through a series of singles and livestreams. He dropped What Did I Miss? in July as the lead single, followed by Which One featuring Central Cee and Dog House with Yeat and Julia Wolf, all widely seen as part of the Iceman rollout. In a recent Complex interview, Drake defended the experimental livestream format, calling it a creative challenge in an era where the music game feels too safe.

On the business side, Drake’s OVO Sound label recently announced a new partnership with Todd Moscowitz’s Santa Anna Label Group, expanding OVO’s infrastructure with added A&R, marketing, finance, and artist services while remaining a standalone label. This deal signals a strategic move to scale OVO’s operations and support both current and future artists.

There’s also chatter around Drake’s next move creatively. DJ Akademiks recently said he’s losing faith that Iceman drops before the end of the year, predicting it could be a 400 to 600 thousand unit debut if properly marketed. Meanwhile, there are unconfirmed rumors of a potential rebrand for Drake, though nothing has been officially stated.
