Drake 'Views From The 6' New Album: Rapper Announces Title Before Recording
Although he is yet to start the recording process, Drake has announced the official title for his upcoming fourth studio album: "Views From The 6."
The Toronto emcee confirmed the title of his new album on Tuesday morning, July 15, to Billboard. In "0 to 100/The Catch Up," which was released in early June, he hinted a release date of Spring 2015 for his next project, following a set list of future releases from the OVO Sound artists: "We already got spring 2015 poppin' / PND droppin' / Reps-Up P droppin' / Majid Jordin droppin' / OB droppin' not to mention me droppin'."
The follow-up of Drizzy's successful third studio album "Nothing Was the Same" appears to be a shout-out to his hometown, as "The 6" may suggest the city's two most prominent area codes, 416 and 646.
Meanwhile, the "Started From the Bottom" hitmaker's record label OVO Sound is set to release two projects in the near future. Majid Jordan, who previously collaborated on Drake's smash "Hold On, We're Going Home," will release a new EP, "A Place Like This." Also, PARTYNEXTDOOR will drop his full-length sophomore album "PARTYNEXTDOOR Two," which features recently released Drake-assisted single "Recognize." Both projects will be released on July 29.
In addition, the "Motto" rapper is slated to co-headline a 31-city summer tour with fellow YMCMB artist and frequent collaborator Lil Wayne. The highly anticipated event kicks off on Aug. 8 at New York's Darien Lake Performing Arts Center. The tour is formatted like a battle each night -- "A lot of people still don't know it's a real thing, but it's real and it's going to be very competitive," he said last week in a conference call discussing his forthcoming ESPYs plans.
Drake will be hosting the ESPYs, which takes place on Wednesday night, July 16, on ESPN.
