You know that 15 second clip Drake and Future put out of them in the studio leading up to the drop of WATTBA? Well, here is the extended version! There’s some conversation between the two rappers, bumping ‘Digital Dash’ with DJ Esco.
I’m really hoping more of these come out! Love seeing the behind the scenes of this stuff.
Watch below.
Don’t say I never gave you anything! While the offical drop date isn’t until Friday, you can listen to Fetty Wap’s debut self-titled album Fetty Wap now.
The stream is available thanks to NPR. Many of the tracks may be familiar to you, but he’s still making a big statement with this one. And, there are no big name features on it.
So, stream it here for 24 hours, and then be sure to support Fetty by purchasing the album on iTunes this Friday.
Yaaaaa baby.
It’s been a minute since I wrote a ‘Wrap-Up,’ but I’m back! And this post isn’t actually a wrap-up but really just about my excitement for Chris Brown’s One Hell of a Nite Tour tonight!
CB will be stopping in Anaheim this evening at the Honda Center, and I’ll be going with my two frans Sydney and Jimmy – can’t wait!
From reviews of the tour I’ve read, Chris puts on a two-hour set (!!!), which to me is completely worth the money. Also on this tour is Fetty Wap, French Montana, Omarion, Kid Ink, and Teyana Taylor. Pretty pumped about it all!
So now I’ll leave you with a Chris Brown playlist. It’s what I’ve been listening to all week – enjoy, and happy Friday! And make sure you follow me on Instagram (@serge19) to see posts from the night and Snapchat (@ergense) for live updates!
Oh, and do know I’ll find a way to post about the Drake-Future mixtape should that drop tonight during the concert.
If Twitter rumors a week or two ago weren’t in our faces enough about the possibility of a joint Future-Drake mixtape, there’s even more to hopefully prove that this is really happening!
4. And just because I have a feeling this will happen.
5. UPDATE! And Revolt TV shared this photo about an hour ago of what looks like a pretty legit tracklisting! Holy smokes.
Now whether this is a joint mixtape or Future is playing a major role on Views from the 6, I really don’t care what comes out. As long as it’s something, I’ll listen to it on repeat.
I’ll be sure to keep yinz updated on anymore #FBGOVO happenings!
Major congratulations to The Weeknd (@theweeknd)! He is the first solo male artist to top the Artist 100, Hot 100, and Billboard 200 in the same week.
Artist 100 | The Weeknd
Billboard Hot 100 | ‘Can’t Feel My Face’
Billboard 200 | Beauty Behind the Madness
I mean. I’m not lying when I tell you guys he’s talented, and I cannot wait to see him live in December at The Forum! It’s just so wonderful to me that this artist who never liked being in the spotlight, played his deep and dark music, is now holding records with artists like Taylor Swift (she’s the only other act with this same hat trick accomplishment) and who loves being in the public eye.
From billboard.com, here is a breakdown of what each accomplishment means:
“The Artist 100 measures artist activity across Billboard‘s most influential charts, including the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, Top Album Sales and the Social 50. The Artist 100 blends data measuring album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.”
And the ‘Hat Trick’ title of this post is quite fitting since he’s from Canada, the birthplace of hockey. 🙂 Speaking of, I cannot wait for hockey season!
Friday, August 28 is finally here – The Weeknd’s release date for Beauty Behind The Madness (BBTM). You can purchase it (I will be to support) or listen to it on Spotify! Seriously, thank God for that app. It’s the best $9.99 I spend each month.
Beauty Behind The Madness here!
And I also just found a Weeknd Essentials playlist. Holy smokes. If you are a fan of Abel Tesfaye, you should ‘follow’ this playlist. It’s a compilation of his old and newer songs, including tracks from BBTM.
Happy Friday, yinz!
Tell all your friends! But seriously. The Weeknd has graced us with the Kanye-produced track ‘Tell Your Friends’ that we heard snippets of last week. Not only is the full audio out but also visuals! Really enjoying this Kanye-Weeknd friendship. They are both such creative individuals – I love seeing them work together.
The release of this video is all leading up to Abel’s album Beauty Behind the Madness dropping this Friday!
Watch on Vevo here, and happy Monday!
About an hour ago, The Weeknd dropped on his Facebook page a link to his Soundcloud of what appears to be snippets from his oh-so-soon album Beauty Behind the Madness.
I typically don’t like listening to new music until the release date, but I couldn’t wait any longer. His voice is truly like no other. Abel is back, and he doesn’t disappoint. Although, I must admit I will always be a bigger fan of his older music compared to the more mainstream, radio hits, but regardless. Still so good.
Enjoy yinz! And have a wonderful weeknd!
And happy happy birthday to my best friend, Natalie – hope it’s epic, boo!
And we can absolutely not forget about The Weeknd’s announcement today about his upcoming ‘The Madness Fall Tour.’ I am one million percent going to this. Travi$ Scott, Banks, and Halsey will also be joining him. He’ll be in LA on Tuesday, December 8 at The Forum in Inglewood. It’s crazy to think that back in 2012 he was performing at much smaller venues, and now The Forum! While it’s not nearly as big as Staples Center, it is definitely a bump up, and I think it’s epic he’s only getting bigger.
And what’s even more exciting is his next album Beauty Behind The Madness drops next Friday, August 28, so he will clearly be performing a majority of his new (and hopefully older) songs. He went on a fall tour last year after the release of Kiss Land. Obviously I attended.
The tour kicks off in his hometown of Toronto on November 3 and will make a total of 22 stops. Pretty sure the presale for tickets is next Wednesday – on it! Check the dates below to see if he’s making a stop in your city! If he isn’t, you should just fly to LA and see him with me. 🙂

The visuals are finally here for Future’s ‘Where Ya At’ featuring Drake. The track comes off of Future’s chart-topping album DS2, which I must admit I haven’t listened to in full yet.
How dope is this… the video actually premiered tonight on the Sony Billboard in Times Square!
I’m also digging Future’s clean cut look throughout, especially in the XO varsity jacket. And Drake. Well obviously I like his look but specifically in this when he’s in the suit towards the end. And his dance moves kill me. Love.
Watch it all below!
