NEW Song! Aaliyah feat. Drake - Enough Said

A posthumous song by Aaliyah featuring Drake has come online. Billboard reports that the song was posted by producer Noah "40" Shebib to Soundcloud and is titled "Enough Said." The cover art for the song bears the logo of Drake's October Very Own as well as Blackground Records, the latter of whom represents Aaliyah's estate. As previously reported, Drake is said to be executive producing the late R&B star's first posthumous album while Timbaland, who worked with her on several songs, is in the dark.

"I know they trying to drop some Aaliyah records, but if [Drake] do it, it should be with me and him, and Missy [Elliott]," Timbaland said in an interview with Power 105.1. "I don't know what's going on. The proper way to do that would be for me, him and Missy to be all on the record. For it to be on his record, that would not be right."

Aaliyah sounds amazing so Drake Needs to give the full song to Her!

Keshia Chante's Ode to the late great Aaliyah & 90's R&B

Keshia Chante'
"I recently had the pleasure of working with the incredible Matt Barnes whose work I have been admiring for quite some time. I’ve been wanting to do a photo shoot like this forever &; I am so thrilled to see Matt take things to the next level. His work always feels like your inside of a movie &; I truly felt like a character in his film. My heart will forever be in love with old school R&B, especially the 90′s &; of course the late great Aaliyah &; I feel this shoot was an ode to that! We mixed some Liy, TLC, Brandy, Slick Rick, etc in this shoot &; it makes my heart flutter. Peep the old school phone, gold rope chains, pager, timbs, etc,. BIG thank you to the team: Matt Barnes, Tara, Janet Jackson of Jou Jou (hair), Dee Daly (makeup), Caitlin Wright (wardrobe stylist), Jennifer Hyland &; all the interns at Westside who helped make it special!!! I hope my KCRyders will love this. I’ve never felt more comfortable then this…"

Matt Barnes
"Canadian cultural mainstay Keshia Chanté was in front of Matt’s camera recently, so the two could give a nod to Aaliyah & throwback R&B, for a personal creative. An accomplished artist, whose life has been spot-lit since her early teens, Keshia is a Juno Award winner and chart topper, who has made the occasional foray into acting. The shoot, paying tribute to the singers that helped to influence Keshia’s career, was helped aesthetically along by makeup artist Dee Daly, hairstylist Janet Jackson, and wardrobe stylist Caitlin Wright. Ride the jump for the entire series." 

She looks so stunning in these photos! Props to Matt, Dee and everyone who put this together! What an amazing job you all did! Full photo credit goes to Matt Barnes, these are not my photos! Article credits: Keshia Chante' & Matt Barnes.

New Aaliyah Album

New Aaliyah Album Confirmed to be in the Works by Producer on Project.

The news all Aaliyah fans have been waiting for since her passing in 2001 has finally become a reality; a new album is on the way.

Jeffrey “J. Dub” Walker, a producer who worked on her posthumous self titled “Aaliyah” album (“I Refuse, “I Can Be”), today revealed on his Twitter account that this would indeed be the case.

“Just got great news today; the smash unreleased song called “Steady Ground” I produced on #Aaliyah is gonna be on her upcoming album:)”, said Walker.

Some may have already heard the Static Major penned “Steady Ground”, as it’s made its rounds on the internet after her passing as an unreleased song. In fact, J. Dub revealed exclusively to YouKnowIGotSoul that the song was in fact intended to be a single on the “Aaliyah” album:

“It was really the first single after “Rock The Boat”, but my engineer was mixing the record and somehow lost the vocals. So the vocals that you hear are really just the demo vocals”, said Walker. “The final vocals got erased, so yeah. So that’s why it didn’t make the album.”

Even though it’s been a decade since Aaliyah’s passing, her fans have not wavered in their support of her artistry and should be excited about this news.

Note from Prinza: I yet have to confirm if this is true. I will keep you updated.
