The Weeknd and Playboi Carti dropped their new single, “Timeless,” on Friday, Sept. 27.

They performed the track for the first time at The Weeknd’s one-night-only concert in São Paulo, Brazil, earlier in September, where the Canadian-Ethiopian superstar performed his latest single “Dancing in the Flames,” his “São Paulo” collaboration with Anitta and more new songs from his upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow.


The two last collaborated together on “Popular” alongside the Queen of Pop Madonna in June 2023 from The Weeknd’s HBO drama series The Idol, which reached No. 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 14 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in June 2024.

The hip-hop veterans spoke to Billboard Canada about the record backstage at Festival d'été de Québec in July, explaining the significance of the record and the importance of connecting with their Latin fanbase across the world.

Hip-hop legends Cypress Hill are back with their first Spanish-language album.

Released today, Dios Bendiga ("God Bless" in English) is the first LP in four years from the pioneering hip-hop group, whose impact spans over three decades. The new album honours the group's roots, as they are one of the first-ever Latin American hip-hop groups to achieve mainstream success, including the No. 1 album Black Sunday in 1993.
