Drake New Album's Titled "View From The 6", But Why?

Billboard.com just pulled an exclusive; the confirmed title of Drake’s upcoming fourth studio album, which should be arriving in late 2014 via OVO Sound, Young Money, Cash Money, Republic Records. So what’s the title?

View from The 6"

Intriguing? Billboard shed some light on the title:

"As for Drake’s new album, it’s not entirely clear what “The 6” is, though a recent online hoax would suggest it’s a reference to his hometown. Shortly after April Fool’s this spring, pictures of fake Toronto billboards supposedly planted by Drake started cropping up, and got picked up by blogs like Complex and HotNewHipHop. One of them was emblazoned with the number 6, while another read “T6r6nt6 – 416 The Six 647,” shouting out the city’s two most prominent area codes. Drake fan site Word on Road ultimately shot the veracity of the billboards’ existence down, but chances are “Views From the 6” are as much of a hometown shout-out as Jennifer Lopez’s Bronx-repping “On The 6” was back in ’99."

The funniest part of all? Billboard states that Drake “hasn’t even begun recording his fourth album”. Say what!? But he already got an album title? That's crazy. Drake then must already have very clear in his head what the 'concept' for the album will be for him to already have a title chosen.

Drake's upcoming schedule

  1. Hosting The ESPYs on ESPN on Wednesday, July 16th.
  2. Playing two dates of the OVOFest in Toronto on August 3rd and 4th.
  3. Joining Lil Wayne for the ‘VS’ tour kicking off August 8th.

What do you think the album title is about?
