DESCRIPTION: This three disk project served as an entry point for many of The Weeknd’s die hard fans. The sound that this project is known for is one birthed out of the post 808’s and Heartbreak period from Kanye. But unlike many of his contemporaries the Canadian born singer found a way to make the sound of the album feel unique a mix of grunge and R&B, it would help launch one of the most successful careers we’ve seen in a very long time.

BEST SONG: D.D.
