Drake has been unstoppable this year breaking streaming records with the three singles he has released in “God’s Plan,” “Diplomatic Immunity,” and “Nice For What,” which have all charted. Looking to keep his domination going, The 6 God has announced his next album ‘Scorpion’.
The forthcoming album will be Drizzy’s fifth overall and expected to be released sometime in June of this year, given no delays. Drake made the announcement earlier today in an Instagram post that showed him wearing a black bomber jacket that said, “Scorpion by Drake: June Twenty Eighteen.” Meanwhile on his caption he wrote, “
JUNE 2018.”
‘Scorpion’ was apparently recorder in his hometown of Toronto, where he has spent long amounts of time recently. A few months ago during “Drake Night” at the Toronto Raptors fame he took center court to say, “I’m working on this new album for the city.”
He’s been spotted in the studio with frequent collaborators Noah “40” Shebib and Boi-1da and has been rumored to have worked with Metro Boomin’, Murda Beatz, Pi’erre Bourne, Bad Bunny, London On Da Track, and others.
‘Scorpion’ will be his first album since 2016’s ‘Views’, although he released ‘More Life’ last year, but considered it an album. To start the year he released the two-track ‘Scary Hours’ EP, which included “God’s Plan” that spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
The title of the album is definitely an ode to his zodiac sign of scorpio, as his birthday is October 24th. In his 2006 debut mixtape ‘Room for Improvement’, he had a song called “A Scorpio’s Mind” featuring Virginia rapper, Nickleus F.
