Though Drake is busy putting together a highly anticipated album, that is not is only project right now as he is also putting together a new sports documentary.

The documentary, which will be called Black Ice, will explore «the history, influence, and racialized journey of Black hockey players,» regarding everything from the creation of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes in 1895, to today's NHL and their «often overlooked and marginalized contributions to the game,» according to a press release.

Black Ice will be directed by Canadian filmmaker Hubert Davis, who also helped put together the 2016 basketball documentary «Giants of Africa». Another very high profiled name that will be joining Drake in helping produce the show is Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James.
