CLEVELAND — *Editor's Note: The video in the player above is from a previous report. 

For Clevelanders, this story went from "0 to 100" real quick. 

Hip-Hop megastar Drake is just hours away from releasing his sixth studio album, "Certified Lover Boy," and the 34-year-old music tycoon has been using social media as leverage to promote the highly-anticipated project since confirming its release on Monday. 

Adding to the anticipation of the album's release, Drake has been erecting billboards in the hometowns of all of the artists featured on the album, letting their hometown fans know -- first-- that they would be included on "Certified Lover Boy."

And you guessed it: Cleveland is in on the action. 

Shaker Heights native Kid Cudi, who Drake refers to as "Cudder" on the local billboard located just off the I-90 near Lorain Avenue, is the latest to be announced. Entertainment journalist Elliot Wilson shared the Billboard on Twitter Thursday afternoon. 

Other featured artists confirmed to be on the album so far include Giveon, Ty Dolla Sign, Rick Ross, TEMS, 21 Savage, Young Thug, Lil Wayne, and Lil Durk... just to name a few. 

When announcing the release of album, earlier this week, Drake also dropped the cover art for the project. The art featured 12 pregnant emoji women, representing the nine-month delay of the album that was originally set to be released earlier this year, as well as Labor Day delivery of the album's release. 

"Certified Lover Boy" is expected to be available on all digital streaming platforms at midnight.
