The Weeknd Release 'Thursday' Mixtape Featuring Drake

Toronto indie R&B sensation the Weeknd decided to top off the epic month that has been July (the act debuted live just weeks ago then rubbed elbows with Stevie Wonder and Lil Wayne at Drake's OVO Fest) by delivering the 'Thursday' mixtape.

The follow-up to the celebrated 'House of Balloons' mixtape sees the Weeknd, the mysterious project of Abel Tesfaye, keeping up with the hype. Tracks like 'The Zone' -- a Drake collab no less -- and 'Life of the Party' can't help but welcome more fans into the fold.


You can download the nine-track release here, but it may not be easy. The site is experiencing tech issues due to the insane demand for 'Thursday' since it was announced -- when else? -- on Thursday night (Aug. 18).

Also keep your eyes peeled for news regarding the Weeknd's third mixtape, 'Echoes of Silence,' rumoured to be dropping this fall.
