Drake is taking an unconventional route as he puts the finishing touches on his highly anticipated Iceman album—by setting up a full recording studio inside Houston strip club Area 29.
According to reports, Drake installed professional-grade microphones, recording booths, and mixing equipment at the venue, calling it his “last recording trip” for the project. The move instantly sparked conversation online, blending Hip-Hop spectacle with Houston nightlife culture. Drake is no stranger to Area 29; he famously spent over $1 million there following the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy as a show of support for dancers and staff affected by the aftermath.
The Toronto superstar was also recently photographed outside the club with local Houston rapper BellyGang Kush, further fueling buzz around the sessions. Fans are already eager for what’s next following recent singles like What Did I Miss? and Dog House, though insiders suggest Iceman may not officially drop until 2026.
Reactions online range from excitement over potential late-night bangers to jokes about Drake perfecting vocals amid poles and neon lights—but one thing is clear: wherever Drake records, the culture is paying attention.
