He used to go by "Abel" or, while a part of the band Bulleez N' Nerdz, "Kin Kane". Bulleez N' Nerdz was a duo formed by Abel and fellow Scarborough rapper Jesse Ray in mid-late 2008. Later he would become affiliated with a producer / songwriting group The Noise and record music with them, some of which was released by himself, and some was leaked by, as he referred to them as, "salty producers" after his growth in popularity.

Pre-House Of Balloons Get In There (prod. Benny Liang) (For Real) Leaked in 2011. This is the first song ever recorded by The Weeknd back in 2007. It was produced by Benny Liang (@Benstar16) in 2006. The beat was originally called “For Real”. The vocals for the track were subsequently recorded in 2007 at Wisdom’s house. 2:56 Full High Quality Link

Pre-House Of Balloons Majes-D - World High (feat. The Weeknd) Likely officially released sometime in 2010, but I am unable to trace its origins. A YouTube channel which posted it in 2013 (the only surviving copy of it online as far as I'm aware) says "(2010)" in the description, leading to my release date assumption. However, judging from Abel's vocals and rapping style on the track, as well as Majes-D feature, we can assume it was recorded around 2008. 2:20 Full High Quality Link
