"Enough Said" is bullet-less at Urban atm.

Mixtape version of "Quit Hatin'" with unreleased Aaliyah vocals. This is NOT the official track off the posthumous 2013 album. No Copyright intended. All rights are entitled to Blackground Records.

They're both a treat to the ears.
"Girl Friends" could have some serious hit potential with polished production. In a higher quality and with Missy as the female rapper, I could envision this as a mixshow staple on late 90's R&B radio.

All this new stuff really makes me miss her even more. All her albums, especially her last, were really innovative and I think her next project could have been one of those records that really shaped R&B. All her albums were trendsetters in their own right but I just feel like "Aaliyah" was her coming out party and the next album would've been her true magnum opus.

I'm glad that this is still happening. It's interesting to hear Aaliyah's vocals on these beats but it's kinda creepy too because it sounds like she recently recorded these songs if I hadn't heard the original version of "Girlfriends" I would swear it was new. Both are really hot and radio friendly. These producers are doing a pretty good job.

The sooner, the better; and maybe hearing her voice again will teach today's vixens--which include some who were around in 2001 and are still trying to hang on--a lesson in humility, which Aaliyah had by the truckload.

She also would have been acting more. Had she lived, she might have been given a real breakout role which could have potentially earned her an Oscar nomination.

I could see somebody making a film similar to "Selena". Tasteful.

Okay so the producer who originally spilled the beans about the new posthumous album (J-Dub) is suing Blackground for royalties www.courthousenews.com/2013/02/27/55234.htmI'm sure this will cause even more delays with her album and JoJo's.

Seconded! JoJo & Timbo need off of this flowa** label and Aaliyah's catalog needs to be in the hands of someone who will properly know what to do with it. Hope he wins and bankrupts them.

The album was supposed to be out last year so I think they'll try to put it out by the end of the year if they are still doing it.

Was it ever confirmed if that album cover was real? It was tweeted from the Blackground Records Twitter account if I recall correctly, but seeing that the label is now pretty much defunct, I highly doubt the album will be released :(

defunct except for the fact that they still have a stranglehold on JoJo. She needs someone to buy out her contract or something.

I think Blackground put most of their money into this project so I think this is still coming.

Well this is kind of cool. Katy B. and Jessie Ware just appeared at Radio 1's Big Weekend to perform their tribute "Aaliyah" live for the first time. Studio version

Timbaland: Aaliyah collaborations only work 'with its soulmate'Fans of late R&B-pop star Aaliyah waited more than 10 years to hear officially released work from the singer — which finally happened courtesy of a 2012 single featuring Drake and Chris Brown, who used her vocals on his latest single. But the posthumous collaborations and any further planned productions “won’t work,” according to Timbaland. The multi-platinum hitmaker, along with longtime collaborator-friend Missy Elliott, are undoubtedly synonymous with the singer’s music, having helped her define and reinvent the sound of ’90s urban music. Typically tight-lipped when it comes to discussing Aaliyah — she and eight others perished in a plane crash in 2001 after a music video shoot — Timbaland opened up in a new interview with Diddy’s new network, Revolt TV, and shared his feelings on the singles. And he’s not a fan. “People always say, ‘I’m going to do a song with Aaliyah.' It will never work,” he said. “Chris Brown got a record, it won’t work. Drake can go do a record with Aaliyah, it ain’t gonna work. ’Cause Aaliyah music only work with its soulmate, which is me.” More than a decade after her passing, fans got a glimpse of some of the unfinished vocals she left behind with two records. Last year Drake issued “Enough Said,” which featured a previously unheard Aaliyah vocal over the low-end sounds of the rapper’s longtime producer Noah "40" Shebib. The chilling single was reported to launch a posthumous album from the singer, with Drake at the helm as executive producer. A few more records leaked online on the singer’s birthday in January but were quickly taken down. Brown issued his latest single, “Don’t Think They Know,” in June that featured outtakes of a previously heard vocal from the late singer, and she appears in the video in the form of holograms taken from her videos. Timbaland and Elliott have had no involvement in the posthumous releases. As for that posthumous album? Fans are waiting. www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-timbaland-not-a-fan-of-posthumous-aaliyah-collaborations-20130723,0,5248878.story

I get that Timbaland played a pivotal role in her career and sound but the way he goes on about her you'd think she was useless without him. He was barely on the Aaliyah album (for other reasons) and it was her best work. Although the whole Chris Brown thing still rubs me the wrong way and you can tell that's just Barry's doing, not the Haughtons.

TIMBALAND APOLOGIZES TO CHRIS BROWN FOR AALIYAH COMMENTSTimbaland is apologizing to Chris Brown over comments he made about his Aaliyah collaboration. In a previous interview with Revolt TV, Timbaland said that he doesn’t like other artists doing posthumous collaborations with the late singer. “In music, people always say I would do a song with Aaliyah. It would never work,” he said. “Chris Brown got a record, it won’t work. Drake [did] a record with Aaliyah, it ain’t gonna work ’cause Aaliyah music only work with its soulmate, which is me.” But after the interview went viral, he issued an apology to Chris, whose song “Don’t Think They Know” features previously unreleased vocals from Aaliyah. “i want 2 publicly apologize 2 my lil homie chrisbrown 4 my statements on revolt regarding the Aaliyah collaborations,” tweeted Timbo. The super-producer, who along with Missy Elliott helped shape Aaliyah’s sound, was coming from a sensitive place when he made the statement. “i actually like the song wit him n Aaliyah, its just when you are talking about babygirl its a very sensitive subject with me,” he said. “so the people who not only worked with her but grew a bond so tight we are like family so im very over protective over her.” He has no ill will toward the “Fine China” singer, but wanted to protect Aaliyah’s family. “I have mad luv 4 my dude chrisbrown,” he added. “a mother lost a daughter. a brother lost a sister. that is still grieving over her passing. it just a very sensitive subject. i just want the family to be respected.” His partner Missy previously shared her thoughts on posthumous Aaliyah collaborations. “We’re talking about unfinished music and we don’t know her reasoning for not putting those records out,” she told Angie Martinez. www.rap-up.com/2013/07/26/timbaland-apologizes-to-chris-brown-for-aaliyah-comments/
