Vincent, The Owl – 332 2nd (ft. SolomonDaGod)

PRODUCER: TheDruwskii
UPCOMING PROJECT: TBA

New Jersey’s Vincent, The Owl and South Florida’s SOLOMONDAGOD are pissing off the locals with their latest track “322 2nd”. The production is handled by TheDruwskii who sets the tone for the record with this chilling trance-like jingle. OWL (Operate With Liquor) crew member Vincent raps rebelliously addressing the devil and haters as he flips rhymes like a gymnast, while also awarding us with a catchy unruly hook. SOLOMONDAGOD contributes an extra set of middle fingers with his bold verse dismissing everyone in his way. Make sure to take a listen to this banger above.

The Weeknd – Can’t Feel My Face

PRODUCERS: Ali Payami, Max Martin & Peter Svensson
UPCOMING PROJECT: TBA

The Weeknd is heating up the summer with the lead single “Can’t Feel My Face” from his upcoming album. A little different from what fans may be accustomed to this record has a very mainstream pop appeal to it. By the sound of it there’s some heavy influence from Michael Jackson giving the track that groovy feel that just makes you want to dance. It’s no surprise that this song has a double meaning as The Weeknd personifies drugs as a beautiful woman. He compares the euphoria of love to the high of doing drugs, and although he knows it will be the death of him the feeling is too great for him to stop. With nothing but amazing music from The Weeknd lately we are anticipating the release of his upcoming album to be released soon. Make sure to listen above and download the track here.

The Weeknd – The Hills

PRODUCERS: Mano & Illangelo
DIRECTOR: Grant Singer
VIDEO PRODUCED BY: Nathan Scherrer
UPCOMING ALBUM: TBA

After teasing us during his live performance at SXSW, The Weeknd blesses us with a video for his new single “The Hills” which was originally thought to be called “Mood Music”. The video begins at the scene of a car crash as The Weeknd and two females manage to crawl from the vehicle. As a bloody Abel walks down the street of a suburban neighborhood, we see the vehicle explode in the background. It isn’t long before he arrives to a mansion to see three women staring at him in a red room, then the video ends. A little strange to say the least but still a great video. Currently #2 on iTunes and a new fan favorite, you can purchase the track here. Stay tuned as we patiently await The Weeknd‘s follow-up to his latest album Kiss Land, Chapter 3 will be coming soon.
