Aaliyah - Enough Said ft. Drake (Prod. by 40)


Rumors have been swirling around for a few months that Drake has been heavily involved in a new Aaliyah album, and with the release of "Enough Said," the whispers are confirmed. Listen to Baby Girl sing over a Noah "40" Shebib production below, and be sure to hit the comments with your thoughts on the collaboration. My thoughts after the jump.

Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Volume 7: Aaliyah, Always Remembered


I know I said that I was going to release this at midnight, but after watching clips from tomorrow's BET's Aaliyah: One In A Million and reading Complex Mag's 10 Facts About Aaliyah You Might Not Know, the nostalgia just got too strong.

Aaliyah, I didn't know you personally. However, thanks to your music, I was able to understand your immense talent and humility.  To be so gifted and so humble is rare, and you showed me that despite my accomplishments, humility is the most important.  I remember when I was 8, my sister recorded the video to Are You That Somebody and forced me to spend hours learning all of the choreography.  I also remember crying with my sister when we learned of your tragic death on August 25, 2011.  Although your journey on earth was premature, your legacy continues as is witnessed in the music of your successors and your peers.
Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Volume 7 is dedicated to you, and includes samples of songs inspired by your music. Thank you for everything, Baby Girl.
