As the release date for his first full-length studio album, Trilogy, draws near, Abel Tesfaye the mastermind behind R&B breakout act The Weeknd shares more and more with his ever-eager audience.
At first, Abel was best known for his relationship with fellow Canadian crooner Drake, and he plays to this by releasing the video for “The Zone,” a collaboration between the two released last year on his mixtape, Thursday.
This track, along with a number of others from The Weeknd’s first three mixtapes, will be repackaged and released, along with several new songs, to form the Trilogy record.
The video was shot in January in Montreal and directed by Abel himself. It features images that are now familiar staples for the Weeknd vibe — extremely disorienting, close-up shots of a beautiful woman and a smattering of balloons. Continue reading

This is something that us Aaliyah fans can appreciate. YMCMB artist Drake has always made it known that he loves the late singer Aaliyah and now Drake is making his dream come true with a collaboration entitled, “Enough Said.” As soon as I heard Aaliyah’s voice, I became emotional! It is great to hear new material from “Baby Girl” because it has been almost eleven years since her tragic accident. I’m hoping there is a lot more audio to come that was salvaged from Aaliyah’s recording sessions. Drake is reportedly set to executive produce the posthumous album from Aaliyah, as METY posted months ago. It is not yet confirmed on whether Aaliyah’s previous team, producers Timbaland and Missy Elliot will also collaborate on the forthcoming LP. Produced by Noah “40” Shebib.

Dropping his highly-anticipated joint off of the upcoming LP, God Forgives, I Don’t, MMG rapper Rick Ross teams up with Drake and Wale for “Diced Pineapples.” Produced by Cardiak, the track was actually an idea that came about after Ross experienced health issues last year. “When I got out of the hospital—you know, I had a seizure last year—when I was leaving, the doctor told me, ‘You gotta eat some more fruit, drink you some water, eat fruit and just relax for a little while,’” Rozay told MTV News. “My fruit of choice was pineapples. For the next three weeks, I woke up every morning and ate diced pineapples, and I put the concept together. Drizzy came in, as well as Wale, and it’s kinda like, ‘She could be my diced pineapple. This special lady, she could be what I wake up to every morning and help me get by every day.’” The album is scheduled for release on Tuesday! Listen below… Continue reading
