This year has seen The Weeknd team up with Kanye West and Kanye West team up with Kendrick Lamar.
The A-list circle will be completed on 25 November with the release of The Weeknd’s new album Starboy, which has a verse from Kendrick.
Kendrick has been slinging a lot of verses out this year, also appearing on tracks with Travis Scott, Danny Brown and DJ Khaled.
After two albums and three mixtapes’ worth of soulful jams, Abel looks to be ratcheting up the tempo for the new record, if lead singles ‘Starboy’ and ‘False Alarm’ are anything to go by.
