Steve Aoki Reveals Unreleased Collab With “The Legend” Mac Miller
It’s been more than three years since the tragic death of Mac Miller in 2018, but the support of his friends and collaborators remains as strong as ever. So goes Miller’s relationship with Steve Aoki, who recently took to Twitter to reveal an unreleased collaboration with the late rapper. The track, Aoki remembered, features Miller’s vocals and can only be described as “magic.” Aoki is not the first musician to acknowledge that, despite the posthumous release of Miller’s final album Circles—which featured a collaboration with Disclosure’s Guy Lawrence—it’s simply impossible to grasp the full scale of projects Miller worked on throughout his illustrious career. Just last year, for example, an unearthed EP called your shoe...

The Evolution of The Weeknd
While it’s only been about two years since the release of The Weeknd’s last album After Hours, it seems that time has passed quickly for the artist. Teasing the artwork of his latest album, Dawn FM, the artist has transformed himself into a much older man, signaling a new evolution. Newly released, the LP bills itself as “a new sonic universe from the mind of The Weeknd” and to match, the artist dons wrinkles, grey hair and a pointedly solemn expression on the album’s cover. A mastermind of reinvention, The Weeknd cultivates a new persona for each of his albums – from the gritty mixtapes that made their way through Toronto’s underground to the arrival of After Hours as the gloomy pop soundtrack that defined 2020. As he ushers in his next era, HYPEBEAST charted the evolution of The Weeknd’s...
