Re: The Weeknd
Kin Kane x Bulleez N Nerdz
In 2008 Abel Tesfaye and fellow Scarborough upcoming rapper Jesse Ray (whom had met a year before) formed the Rap/RNB duo Bulleez n Nerdz, Abel went under the stage name Kin Kane, (The name of Abel’s brother (Kin - connected, related by blood) in the bible, the two sons of Adam & Eve). The two had great chemistry performing together at parties & decided to make songs together with producer & friend Majes-D. They met up (via Facebook) with Tyse saffuri , the music executive & founder of Entyse Entertainment and his partner Nikki Clarke, whom they performed their first song for, “Godzilla”, the first track they had ever done together, After loving their personality & music he introduced them to his upcoming Toronto producer Kashif Majeed better known as Kid Klassic who was working at the time with a female R&B/POP group called Mynt . At that time Abel was writing RNB songs for other artists trying to make a library of material and the duo were working on some (mixtape) tracks, a first single was slated for release early 2009. Their first performance was at UFT (University Of Toronto) with fellow producer Majes-D in front of a 1000 people.
In June 2011, A song entitled Krispy by fellow Toronto rapper Mental McFly aka Rex B Mental (who Abel had been working with at the time) leaked. A few months later on December 7th, a member on Youtube leaked another track called When The Grip Hits, the original version for Krispy and In The Mood.
On December 4th 2011 a Radio Interview with Blu Orchid Media/Entertainment hit youtube, with the duo talking about their influences, upcoming projects and freestyling.
Abel Tesfaye x The Noise...
The Noise production/writing team circa 2009
In July 2008 & after working with Entyse Entertainment’s producer Kashif Majeed aka Kid Klassic during his time as part of the duo Bulleez n Nerdz, Abel, Majeed & two other upcoming vocalists Tyler Done & Natalie Di Luccio formed a production/writing team called The Noise. They were signed by Lavish Life Management , a management company run by Brendan Malette, for producers and songwriters which shops their material to major label artists in order to get their beats, or songs, out onto airwaves and albums. Abel & the team had recorded & written several songs all produced by Kid Klassic intended for artists like Justin Timberlake & Robin Thicke like the track “Do It”, Abel had also written & was featured on Ray-J’s hook for Rebstar’s I Like It, a song which the she’s so lovely crew posted on their Tumblr. All the songs recorded were not intended for the artist (Abel) singing them but more as vocals for a demo to see how they would sound. (So believe when he says “he was forced to make records”). Also signed to lavish life at that time was producer T-Minus whom Abel had worked with, video footage of their studio session was leaked in 2011.
On May 23rd 2011, Complex released the track Birthday Suit, a demo for Drake which Abel had also recorded with The Noise. The track got members on Kanyetothe interested in what other early Abel Tesfaye material may be floating around on the internet so they started searching. A member by the name of Djamiel did some Google’n & found The Noise & Abel’s Myspace, Which lead another member ( Ghost ) to find a snippet of “Release Me” from The Noise Myspace, Djamiel later then posted 4 snippets for Do It, Rescue You, Appointment & X-Ray which also included download links. Later @Adam_Corwin found the full version of “Do It” A member named Street then found Abel’s bandcamp which included full versions of “Rescue You,” “Love Through Her,” and “Material Girl.” & Nigerian Royalty then posted everything together on his Soundcloud under the title “Unreleased The Weeknd.” At some point (after the actual post was deleted), Djamiel updated a zip file with the full tracks, Complex then made a Blog Post about what they had found and it started hitting other blogs like crazy. The full version of “Appointment” was leaked shortly after by a guy on Twitter named @JamieHoward91. At some point, Ear Milk then put them all together and named it The Noise EP.
On December 8th two more tracks Cure & Superhero (an alternate version of Rescue you) leaked and a day later a song called Party. Then finally on the 23rd of December 2011, the full version of X-Ray was released by YouTube member braedrums
