So here's what went down. Drake dropped three separate albums in one night, Iceman, Habiti, and Maid of Honor. Now everybody's talking about the music, but I need you to hear the business. Each one of those projects has its own sound scan code. Why does that matter? Because Drake was allegedly on the back end of a $400 million deal with Universal Music Group, and that deal required three more studio albums. He knocked out his entire contractual obligation in 24 hours.
