Belly has enlisted the talents of frequent collaborator The Weeknd and Young Thug to join him on his latest melodic single, “Better Believe.” Belly also shared a Christian Breslauer-directed music video to go along with the track, which you can watch up top via YouTube. Belly’s last single was the Moneybagg Yo-assisted track, “Zero Love,” that dropped earlier last month. That […]

Billboard has revealed a report of the highest-paid musicians of 2020 in the U.S. and some of the results may be surprising.  The 2020 Money Makers report—which used 2020 U.S.-only MRC Data and Billboard Boxscore statistics—determined which acts raked in the most money, juding by their streaming, sales publishing and touring, which was not much of […]

The Weeknd and several other wealthy investors have just put over $2 million into a company that makes personalized songs for users. Music Business Worldwide reports that The Weeknd, along with his manager and XO Records CEO Wassim “Sal” Slaiby, Atlantic Records CEO Craig Kallman, Reverb founder David Kalt, School of Rock CEO Rob Price, and Recycled Paper Greetings co-founder […]

The Weeknd’s newest timepiece is sure to make Marvel fans drool. Earlier this week, the Grammy-winning artist took to Instagram to show off his Audemars Piguet Black Panther watch, a limited edition collaborative piece that runs about $162,000. The Weeknd provided close-up shots of the design—the Royal Oak Concept Black Panther Flying Tourbillon—as well as a photo of […]

It’s been a tough month for Canada. As the nation still processes the discovery of over 1,000 unmarked graves and the remains of Indigenous children at former residential school sites, many are grappling with the bitter truth that the Great White North may not be as great as they had once thought. Some education, unlearning, and relearning is in order as […]

It’s Doja Cat’s world and we’re all just living in it.  The 25-year-old rapper, singer and Shakespearean orator dropped her third studio album Planet Her on Friday and there’s something to enjoy for fans of all her multi-planetary talents. The 14-track effort, with a rollout that was kicked off by the SZA-featuring, chart-crushing single “Kiss Me More” earlier this […]

The After Hours love continued with The Weeknd’s BRITs performance Tuesday, but it seems like he kept the red suit in the frame.  The superstar hit the stage Tuesday alongside album collaborator Oneohtrix Point Never, as Abel Tesfaye himself rocked a surprisingly non-characteristic get-up while singing through “Save Your Tears.” Dawning an all-black look, the singer looked […]

The Weeknd’s After Hours album is the gift that keeps on giving. On Thursday night, the XO artist unleashed the remix of “Save Your Tears,” featuring his previous collaborator Ariana Grande. The original song appeared on the Weeknd’s chart-topping fourth studio album, which has received a number of remixes over the past year, most notably an updated version of “In […]

America may have Method Man, Redman, and (…ahem) Afroman. But Canada is no slouch when it comes to MCs waxing poetic about puffing lye. Our famous B.C. bud has helped fuel some underground, criminally underrated rappers who add poignancy and nuance to their smoke odes. On the other end of the spectrum (a few time […]

Exactly 10 years after releasing his debut mixtape House of Balloons, The Weeknd is reissuing the project in its “original incarnation.” The XO artist announced the release on social media this week, confirming the reissue would include original mixes and samples that didn’t make the final cut.  The original House of Balloons sampled music from Aaliyah, Beach House, Siouxsie and the […]
