Friday Fresh 04 (One Day Early Valentine’s Edition) – Wonway Posibul – Later On (music for chance encounters in bedrooms before dawn) (MP3)

Last week’s edition of Friday Fresh was postponed because of our Grammy coverage, which should be making its way to your eyes and ears shortly.  It’s a good thing too because that gives us a chance to drop some Valentine’s Day heat on ya’ll.

This early edition of Friday Fresh comes to us courtesy of DJ Wonway Posibul.  Wonway is one of the ‘Renaissance’ Men of the burgeoning music scene in the SF Bay Area.  From being a radio host, producer/musician, and all around cool kid, Wonway really made waves on our radar out here with the release of Tree City Heights last year.  The track, which was featured in an earlier URB article, also served as the soundtrack for the play that stood eponymous with its title.  Moreover, the …

WATCH The Weeknd’s Sexy Video For “Initiation” (NSFW) (Video)

OK, so the title is a little misleading, only in that this isn’t an official video by internet sensation The Weeknd, but rather an unofficial clip for the Toronto-based singer by Marcos Fantu. But that won’t really matter when you see how nicely done (and nice and sexy) this clip is for the song “Initiation.” Someone ought to get The Weeknd and Fantu together for real and have them create the opening credits and theme song for the next Bond film.

The Weeknd, “Thursday” (MP3)

I’m sorry y’all apparently this was released sometime last night, but regardless the sophomore mixtape Thursday by The Weeknd is here! As you may remember House of Balloons was that kind mixtape that was perfect for scissoring and then a larger part of it talked about the hoes, friggin’ hoes! While I may not be completely caught up with this tape yet, it seems like even more scissoring music and then the first track still tackles those friggin’ hoes–hoes always be up in your face! Download the tape here, and I’ll stream the title track below.
