How We Can Get New Lab
After teasing that he would “be back in 2018 to give you the summary” on ‘Do Not Disturb’, the closing track from 2017’s ‘More Life’, Drake has since suggested that his new album would be released in June. The bomber jacket, depicted in his announcement photo, also included the words “June Twenty Eighteen”.
Drake has since suggested that ‘Scorpion’ will be released on June 29, hinting at the news in an Instagram post.
This could potentially be subject to change though, as it’s not entirely certain that Drake has completed work on the album yet. In May, he said on Instagram that he was on the “home stretch”, while later that month he shared new track ‘I’m Upset’ along with the caption “Anyways…back to this album”.

Has the artwork been released?
Seemingly so, and surprisingly it doesn’t feature an actual scorpion. Drake recently shared an Instagram post that featured a black-and-white shot of the rapper, with “Scorpion 2018” handwritten on it as well as his signature, leading fans to suggest that this could be the album’s front cover.
Drake is known for his between-album one-off singles, and sometimes those tracks make their way onto the rapper’s eventual full-length releases. For example, ‘Hotline Bling’ originally came out in July 2015, later being included as a bonus track on Drake’s fourth album ‘Views’, released nine months later in April 2016.
While ‘Views’, his fourth record, was Drake’s last album proper, the rapper has put out numerous releases since. In March 2017, he released the playlist/mixtape ‘More Life’, which spawned the singles ‘Fake Love’ and ‘Passionfruit’. It’s safe to say that none of these songs will be replicated on ‘Scorpion’, but there’s plenty of other tracks released since ‘More Life’ that could feature.
‘Signs’ was a stand-alone track released in June 2017, premiering at a Louis Vuitton Paris Fashion Week show. 2017 also saw another new number called ‘Pistols’ leak online. It included the lyrics: “I’ve been sleeping with a pistol in my bed / I rather have you here instead
