UPDATE #2: Hours after HitsDailyDouble.com’s reports, Drake confirmed that his third album is releasing a week later than initially planned. The Cash Money/Universal Records superstar additionally hinted at the album’s artwork, designed by Southern California artist Kadir Nelson.

Cole, The-Dream and Big Sean, or if it is an album with multiple covers, as has been the case with Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or The Roots’ Things Fall Apart.
