30 photos of Drake's cryptic ice block display in Toronto parking lot

It has been pandemonium at a downtown Toronto parking lot since a stack of ice blocks appeared on the expanse of asphalt, accompanied by a cryptic social media post from hometown rapper Drake sharing the site's coordinates and a hint that the release date for his hotly anticipated Iceman album was buried within the frozen mass.

Soon after, the site was cordoned off by Toronto Police as crowds amassed on the lot near Dundas and Church, climbing and chipping away at the ice blocks with blunt tools, and even blowtorches, in hopes of revealing the secret date hidden inside.

That date was eventually revealed to be just weeks away, when a bag was discovered within the frozen blocks on Tuesday afternoon containing the answer: "Iceman, May 15."
