  • Underwhelmed. I was excited for Chris Brown's new single "They Don't Know" which features deceased singer Aaliyah but it honestly did nothing for me. I am ready for Chris to experiment outside of his normal sound and give me something other than his tired, repetitive R&B anthems.

    Chris definitely has the potential to be iconic.

    The video has a good message pertaining to childhood violence. The song will serve as the official second single from Brown's new album "X" which is due out later this year.

    I wonder why he released the video via Vimeo versus his official Vevo account? 





  • Eleven years later and singer Aaliyah remains relevant. Aaliyah's label is gearing up to release more music for her fans who have been missing her beautiful voice and musical style. There have been a lot of rumors about this album on who's producing it and etc. Drake recently came out and said that he and 40 are going to be the head guys over the album.

    Someone took to Aaliyah's facebook page saying that the record label and family will NOT be supporting this album. Aaliyah's cousin Jomo Hankerson along with his father Barry Hankerson stated they will be forseeing the album. Jomo went on to say that Drake and 40 will have a huge participation with the album but will not have TOTAL command of the album.

    The Blackground label will promote and support this album as stated by Jomo. Jomo stated Missy Elliot and Timbaland WILL be apart of this album. The next single could very well be a Missy song that went unheard which they are getting in the studio to refresh for the album. Jomo and Barry Hankerson are said to executive produce the album with 16 unreleased songs set to hit shelves later this year with co-production from Drake and 40.

    They are on contemporary artist to help and give contributions on the album. When asked why they were doing this Aaliyah album Jomo simply stated 'it's time'.

     Jomo Hankerson stated:

    'We really felt like it was time', explained Hankerson. 'There's a real new generation that doesn't know her necessarily, and we wanted to continue her musical legacy with this new generation. That's one of the reasons why we wanted to do very contemporary music. We didn't want to make it a nostalgic project; we already did that with the I Care 4 U album.'

    Are you here for a new Aaliyah album or should they just leave it alone? I am certainly look forward to it. I stanned for Aaliyah before I knew what a Rihanna was. The girl was just so smooth and a beautiful person inside and out. I just hope they do the album justice and don't mess this up.


  • Ch. I knew it would be only a matter of time before the drama really hit the fan with the new Aaliyah album which is reportedly in the works. Aside from Timberland not agreeing with rapper Drake heading the project, Aaliyah’s brother has spoken out against the project album saying:

    ‘There is no official album being released and supported by the Haughton family.’ – Rashad Haughton. I completely agree. However, if there is going to be a new album I do believe that Timberland and Missy Elliott should have a huge input on the project.

    What are your thoughts?


  • I'm not really a big fan of labels releasing music after an artist is past which will explain why I am not at all excited about this collaboration. Singer Rapper Drake has teamed up and produced a new track titled 'Enough Said' with some unreleased vocals from the deceased Aaliyah who died in a plane crash.

    The song itself is cute but the fact that we will never see a live performance of it with Aaliyah really grabs the fun out of it for me. My question is how did Drake out of all people get to oversee this project? Did Aaliyah know what a Drake was while she was living?

    Listen to the track below.
