  • "Over time, "Hurricane" went through several iterations, containing vocals from Clemons, Big Sean, Ty Dolla Sign, Young Thug, and 6ix9ine; several leaks of the song have surfaced online.[11][12][13][14]" → "Over time, "Hurricane" went through several iterations, containing vocals from Clemons, Big Sean, Ty Dolla Sign, Young Thug, and 6ix9ine, with several leaks of the song surfacing online.[11][12][13][14]"

  • "In an interview published by GQ on August 2, 2021, Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd stated, "I'd love to work with Kanye again. Especially on production."[12]" it would be better to cite the actual cover story, as the current source is dated August 9th. You don't have to, I'm just saying that the two dates are a bit contradictory.
  •  Done and I also added the mention of it being a cover story interview --K. Peake 07:21, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • "It utilizes West's typical production style, relying on an atmospheric beat.[34][35] The song includes layered organs, heavy bass, and trap drums.[36][37][38]" → "It utilizes West's typical production style, relies on an atmospheric beat;[34][35] while including layered organs, heavy bass, and trap drums.[36][37][38]"
  •  Partly done I kept the prose about relying the same because that flows smoother --K. Peake 07:21, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • "who has contributed artwork for metal bands such as Behemoth–accused West" random dash, think It's meant to be a comma?
  •  Done for the above

Files and copyvio[edit]

  • The image licensing is fine, although I would suggest cutting the audio file by a second or two.
