He's been pretty clear about it. it's just him. you can go back through his tweets (he only has like 400) and see him say it more than once.
Ehh he can say what he wants, fact is no Illangelo, no Doc, no Weeknd.

There hasn't been a song he's put out with out production from them besides What You Need & Loft Music


The Fall is produced by Clams Casino. I was scared as hell when I saw son thank ILLANGELO for staying with him for The Trilogy. I hope they don't part ways or anything. There's a couple of samples to clear though. One on The Birds Pt. 2, one on Montreal, and the Beach House samples already mentioned. And those are the ones that stand out.

Fall is Clams Casino though.
 
The Weeknd started as a duo him and Jimmy Rose. Rose produced What You Need and a couple other songs from HOB
They broke up in 2010 and Abel went solo and kept the name

But Doc helped with instrumentation on HOB and Thursday & Illangelo produced & recorded almost all of the music. I think them and Doc split recently too
 
I really can't decide which tape is my favorite. It changes everyday man

I think HOB has the most epic songs (The Morning, Wicked Games, Loft Music)

Thursday is just straight up solid and might be the best listen from front to back..

And EOS is just the perfect way to cap off the trilogy. I think EOS grew on me faster than the first 2.

With all that being said its just altogether near perfection as a whole. I try not to listen every day cause i don't wanna play it out for myself but I just cant help it man

Hats off to the Weeknd. can't wait to see what he's got for us next..

& Illangelo

Jeremy Rose is the producer of What You Need, Loft Music & The Party (the first part) he has a version of The Morning out there too.
He's ill, too bad they split, What You Need is my favorite Weeknd song, %$+$ is flawless.
 
You guys have to check out Doc's production work with Esthero on her first album. You can definitely hear some of the stuff that was a precursor to The Weeknd stuff.
 
I think I like EOS better than Thrusday
Not by a whole lot, but it just flows so
well. NOTHING tops HOB tho....

After the first time I heard it, I was SO tempted
to drive to Magic City, give it to the DJ, and tell
him to play it for the baddest $%$!!.
 
That makes sense because What You Need sounds VERY different from everything else on HOB.

That %!*$ is THE panty dropper tho.

The Fall was done by Clams Casino...soooo yeah. He just has a good production team, but that doesn't make The Weeknd a group.

So yeahhh...Clams Casino & Illangelo.
Like I said, he may say it's not a group but it is.
Every Weeknd remix has been produced by him too, like tune said it started out as a duo between Abel & Jeremy Rose now it's Abel & Illangelo/Doc (From HOB to Thursday)
 
What if when he re-releases the trilogy, he disappears?

EOS > HOB >>> THURS (EOS edging HOB because of Loft Music)

EOS is unskippable
