Popcaan appears on track six, titled Amazing Shape, marking another chapter in the longstanding musical partnership between the Unruly Boss and the OVO frontman. The collaboration forms part of Drake’s surprise triple-album release unveiled on May 15, 2026, which also includes the highly anticipated Iceman album alongside companion projects Habibti and Maid of Honour.

Over the years, Drake and Popcaan have built one of the most recognizable cross-cultural partnerships between hip-hop and dancehall music. Their collaborations date back nearly a decade and include fan-favorite tracks such as Controlla (particularly the original Popcaan-assisted version), as well as Twist & Turn, All I Need, We Caa Done, and now Amazing Shape. Beyond the music itself, Popcaan has also maintained close ties with Drake’s OVO Sound imprint, cementing his place within the rapper’s creative circle.

The release of the albums immediately sent social media into a frenzy, with Drake dominating online conversations after delivering lyrical jabs aimed at several high-profile figures, including Jay-Z, DJ Khaled, Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross, across multiple tracks on the projects.

Popcaan also acknowledged the release on social media, sharing all three album covers to his official Instagram account alongside the caption: “6GAD is watching, Hot oil Business!” The post quickly generated excitement among fans of both artists.

For many dancehall supporters, Popcaan’s continued inclusion on Drake’s projects is further evidence of the genre’s lasting global influence and the deejay’s relevance within mainstream international music spaces. Since breaking onto the scene under Vybz Kartel’s Portmore Empire banner, Popcaan has steadily evolved into one of Jamaica’s most globally recognized contemporary acts, collaborating with major international names.

Commercially, Drake’s latest releases are already proving successful. The surprise rollout sparked massive streaming activity within hours of release, with tracks from the three projects rapidly climbing streaming charts and trending across multiple digital platforms. Industry analysts expect Iceman, Habibti, and Maid of Honour to deliver another dominant chart week for the Canadian superstar, while also exposing featured Caribbean acts like Popcaan to even wider global audiences.
