The Weeknd - Initiation

Late last night, The Weeknd's Abel Tesfaye updated his social networking accounts with a message that simply stated "initiation... initiation... initiation." And less than 24 hours later, he has done away with the mystery surrounding his statement by delivering a brand-new track, "Initiation". It's a much more hip-hop oriented joint from the typically R&B-heavy crooner, who's flexing his rapper chops here. He's still doing the whole codeine-laced, falsetto-turned-screwed vocals thing, too. But his rapping, and the erratic, industrial production, is what really stands out here.
