Drake Maybe Just Announced a New Album Called 'Scorpion'

He says on Instagram that it's due for June this year.

After two ridiculously successful singles (and replacing himself on the Billboard charts with "Nice for What"), Drake has perhaps finally announced the name and release date of his upcoming album. Via two posts on his Instagram, Drake gave us a name—Scorpion—and a release date—June 2018. No more details are out at present.

The name is an obvious riff on Drake's astrological sign, (he's a consummate Scorpio) but could also be in reference to the arachnid-decorated jacket that fellow Canadian Ryan Gosling wore in Drive. Probably not, but Drake's own jacket is pretty spiffy. Both Instagram posts are below. Let the season commence.
