Off the heels of his impressive single “Some Way,” NAV premieres the new visual to support the trending song as The Weeknd joins him along for the ride during a fully functional photo shoot paired with a few beautiful models.

ABOUT NAV:
After bursting onto the scene in 2015, NAV has made a colossal amount of noise. Preferring to let his music do the talking, NAV has ranked in over 100 million plays on his SoundCloud page, all while releasing self-produced songs straight to his ever-growing fan base. Already having established himself as a go-to producer, NAV has become a disruptive voice in the industry, recently being featured on “Biebs in the Trap” from Travis Scott’s Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight and “Re-Up” from Belly’s Inzombia project – both of which NAV produced. In 2015, NAV also co-produced Drake’s Grammy-nominated track “Back to Back.” NAV is set to make his live debut this spring, performing his first-ever shows at Coachella on Saturday, April 13 and 22. He is also currently in the studio with Metro Booming completing their upcoming collaborative album, set for a TBD release this year.

future-hndrxx

As Future promised, he releases more music from his body of archives and drops a new project entitled HNDRXX. This comes just one week exactly after dropping his self-titled album.

The anthem-driven body of work includes features from The Weeknd (“Comin Out Strong”), Rihanna (“Selfish”), and more. With songs catered to the ladies paired with a more honest side, Future Hendrix takes a more radio-friendly approach allowing you to listen to the album all the way through; not skipping any songs. Standout tracks like “Damage” contains a sample from Guy‘s classic jawn “Piece Of My Love”, and “Neva Missa Lost” takes you back to the smooth sounds of Jodeci‘s “My Heart Belongs To You.” Overall, Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn has delivered his best work to date. Yes, we had to say his full name. It’s just that good. Truly LIT.

Kudos Future!

The Weeknd Transforms Into The “Starboy” In New Visual [New Video]

The Weeknd is ready to embrace another side of himself, transforming into a “Starboy” in the ominous video for his Daft Punk-assisted lead single.

Off his upcoming album of the same name, the dark visual was directed by Grant Singer. The video opens with a masked individual killing Abel, who we see still sporting his trademark locks; only to reveal that the masked murderer is in fact the “Starboy” decked out in leather, with a fresh-cut.

The video is full of dark imagery as the “Starboy” sings about the wealth he’s acquired and the women who flock to him while running through the house smashing his platinum plaques and trophies with a red neon cross that culminates with him burning the place down.

The Canadian crooner will perform “Starboy” and debut another new song live on the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this weekend. Starboy drops Nov. 25.

Watch The Weeknd embrace his transformation in the video above.
