Videos by According2HipHop

Media personality and hip-hop commentator DJ Akademiks is stirring up major buzz around Drake’s forthcoming album, ICEMAN, with a bold first-week sales prediction. According to Akademiks, the project is expected to move between 400,000 and 600,000 units in its debut week.

“This ain’t a 300[K] album,” he stated confidently — dismissing any notion that Drake’s momentum is slowing down. With the Toronto rapper’s history of blockbuster releases and cultural dominance, fans and industry insiders are watching closely.

If ICEMAN hits the higher end of Akademiks’ projection, it could rival or surpass the opening week sales of Drake’s recent albums, reaffirming his place at the top of the rap game.
