Views is upon us. With just five days until his new album drops, Drake has revealed the cover.
The artwork, which serves as a love letter to his hometown, features the 6 God perched atop Toronto’s CN Tower, the world’s seventh tallest free-standing structure.
“To the city I love and the people in it…Thank you for everything,” tweeted Drizzy.

He has been gearing up for Views with new music. Earlier this month, he dropped two singles, “One Dance” with Wizkid and Kyla, and “Pop Style” featuring Jay Z and Kanye West aka The Throne.
“It’s going to be what everybody expects and wants from Drake and from us,” Drake’s longtime collaborator Noah “40” Shebib told The New York Times. “A lot of introspection, very vivid. He’s discovering new flows, new cadences, new patterns.”
Due April 29, Views From the 6 marks the follow-up to If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late, which debuted at No. 1 in February 2015.
Drake has been promoting the release with a series of “Views” pop-up shops throughout North America including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Palm Springs, and most recently Toronto.
