In the song 'Keep The Family Close', Drake refers to a section of Toronto called Kennedy Road. The photo on the cover of his new album is one of Drake at the top of the tallest building in Toronto, the iconic landmark the CN Tower, where he gets a full 'view of the 6' (oh, now I get it).ĭrake made several references to his hometown of Toronto on the album. And also because of the six boroughs in the Greater Toronto Area: York, Mississauga, Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, and East York.ĭrake obviously still feels a huge amount of affection for the city of Toronto and has no problem showing it on his fourth studio album, which is clearly at least somewhat biographical. First of all, because of the area codes it uses and their use of the number 6 (416 or 647). The city of Toronto is nicknamed 'The 6' for a few reasons. What does Drake's album title, Views, mean, you ask? Well, it's a nice little shout out to his hometown in Toronto, Canada. Just look at his latest album, Views, which used to be Views from the 6. While the singer has become a massive phenomenon south of the border, collaborating with celebrities like Jay Z and Kanye West to name a few, it seems there is a part of him that is staying true to his roots. Canadian rapper Drake hasn't completely turned tail on his countrymen yet, apparently.
