If you have, or haven't, heard about The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) but still don't really know what the buzz is about, it's probably because you still haven't heard his House of Balloons mixtape (yes, there are still people that tell me they have no clue who he his when I ask).
For those who have heard the mixtape and loved it, The Weeknd dropped "Rolling Stone" via Twitter yesterday. We can expect two more mixtapes from him this year: Thursday, expected to drop "...sooner than [we] think," and Echoes of Silence, expected to drop this fall. Until then enjoy "Rolling Stone" and hit the jump for some tracks he did a couple years back with a songwriting/production group known as "The Noise."
