June has been an incredible month for music so far and we still got one more week to go. After receiving new albums from Kanye West, Nas, Jay Rock and more, we're eagerly awaiting to hear what Drake has up his sleeve on his forthcoming album, Scorpion. The rapper confirmed a June 29th release date last week after sharing the cover art for the project and releasing the "Degrassi" themed video for "I'm Upset." With a little over a week away, billboards for the album began popping up in the 6ix.

Drake's Scorpion album is dropping next Friday and as he prepares to drop his highly anticipated album, several billboards have popped up across Toronto promoting the album. One of the Billboards feature a owl about to snatch a scorpion and underneath it, there's another billboard that reads, "changing from boy to a man." 

Some of the other billboards share some cryptic messaging. One of them reads, "Don't hit me when you hear this."

However, the two other billboards seem to hint at an abundance of music and a possible double disc album. One of them reads, "A Side B Side." And another Billboard says, "Is there more." In addition, Drake's last two projects have been pretty lengthy so it doesn't seem like it's not possible.  

Clearly, Drake's been hard at work on his new album and we're nothing but excited to hear what he has to offer on it.
