It appears that Drake is putting the final touches on his highly anticipated Views From The 6 album. On Monday (Feb. 19), he gave an update on the LP via Instagram.
The Grammy-nominated rapper posted two photos and captioned them both with, “Home Stretch.” The first photo shows Drizzy rocking a fur coat while performing. The second picture is of his frequent collaborator/producer Noah "40" Shebib buying bed linens from Bed Bath & Beyond.
Although the meaning behind both postings is still unclear, it is possible that Drake is referring to the forthcoming release of his album. He has reportedly been working on Views since at least 2014 when he announced the title of the project. Since then, he has announced that Views will be released in April to seemingly commemorate Toronto's area code. He has not yet confirmed a specific release date.
In February, he kept the momentum going with new advertisements for Views in his hometown.
As noted by HotNewHipHop, the first ad was tweeted out by Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport during NBA All-Star Weekend. The tweet consisted of two separate pictures and an ad reading “Four plus Two Equals 6.”
The “6 God” rapper later took to Instagram to share a larger billboard, which simply read “Views,” that was put up downtown Toronto.
Back in November, a mysterious billboard seen in Drake’s hometown led many to believe that the album’s release was approaching. Adding to its mystique, Drake shared a photo of the black billboard, which read, "The 6 is watching." He captioned the photo on Instagram with, “be home soon.”
As fans have been anticipating the release of Views, Drake has managed to hold them over with releases including his platinum-selling If You're Reading This It's Too Late and What A Time To Be Alive with Future.
