Featured on his new Kiss Land LP, The Weeknd gives the smooth and mellow song “Pretty” the visual treatment and equips it with plenty of suspense.  In fact, The Weeknd’s latest offering plays out more like a short film as the visual focuses on an attractive female as she prepares for the evening and spruces herself up.  Meanwhile, The Weeknd is seen cruising around and picking up flowers for what appears to be a date night for the singer until things take a major detour in the end.  The new music video for “Pretty” is definitely worth a watch.

Playing off the theme of High Times magazine, rapper Young Dro unveils the official artwork to his upcoming High Times LP which fans can pick up on October 15.  Needless to say, the idea is different and Dro does a solid job of embodying the publication’s familiar vibe as he poses for the camera with a stogie in his hand.  It also appears Young Dro is prepared to challenge his former success as the cover displays the questions “Can he make the biggest comeback in hip-hop history?” and “Is lyrical rap back?”  Some of the musical features listeners will be treated to include T.I., Doe B, Problem, Spodee, Lil C, FKi, DJ Mustard and more.
