It’s plain, all black, and simply reads, “The 6 God is watching.” The “Hotline Bling” singer didn’t reveal the meaning behind the billboard; he simply captioned it, “Be home soon.” As Vulture[ points out](http://www.vulture.com/2015/11/does-this-billboard-in-toronto-tease-new-drake.html), it’s likely a tease for his upcoming album, _Views From the 6\._ (He’s been vague about when that album is due, but recently [told](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/drake-talks-meek-mill-beef-views-from-the-6-release-in-rare-interview-20150925) _Rolling Stone_ that it would arrive imminently.) We already know that Drake likes to use billboards this way. He [fought](http://pitchfork.com/news/44869-toronto-city-officials-beef-with-drake-over-a-take-care-billboard/?utm%5Fcampaign=search&utm%5Fmedium=site&utm%5Fsource=search-ac) with Toronto city officials over a _Take Care_ billboard back in 2011\.
