"NYC three shows back to back starts tonight. and for the fans that can't make it, i got something for you. xo." That's what the Weeknd Tweeted right before dropping this new song, "Enemy". The song isn't part of the bonus material included on Trilogy, the forthcoming package of the Weeknd's three mixtapes"

Well, that shot my hopes up some.

This however, I could honestly be more excited for. Please don't gasp.

hoping it's 20x better than recovery, which is half as good as MMLP or TES!

Hope Ye pushes Weezy to great shit, would hate for him to just waste killer beats :/

I have my doubts it will be better, if only because Recovery had left him with more subject matter to tackle at the time. Anyway, I was hoping he'd take his time with this one.

Oh man I need those like 30 Cruel Summer cuts that probably exist.
