Diehard Aaliyah fans had so many questions and concerns after a new song called Enough Said leaked to the web featuring previously unreleased vocals from the late singer, a new verse from Drake and a beat from Noah 40″ Shebib.
Was this part of the rumored album of unreleased Aaliyah songs? Was the album sanctioned by Aaliyahs family? Who put out this song?
But the loudest cries came from Aaliyah traditionalists who felt that, 11-years after her tragic death in a plane crash, the first posthumous tracks should include Aaliyahs close friends and collaborators Timbaland and Missy. Timbaland felt that way, too.
When we posted Enough Said, it seems like mystery somehow fueled a backlash against Drake, as if he was somehow co-opting Aaliyahs legacy, and boxing out her friends.
Today a source familiar with the upcoming Aaliyah project tells us a different story
According to our source, Enough Said was released by Aaliyahs own label, Blackground Records, which is run by her uncle Barry Hankerson. The song wasnt leaked by Drake.
As for how involved Drake is, Im hearing hes only on one song right now. But that Noah 40″ Shebib is producing a majority of the tracks. Im actually looking forward to what 40 does with these unreleased vocals. His sound seems like a good match.
But for all the fans who cant imagine a Aaliyah project without the input of Timbaland and Missy Elliott
great news! Im hearing that Tim is getting involved. So far Im hearing hes producing 2 songs. Hopefully there will be more and Missy will be in there too! Timbaland recent told me that he and Missy are already done recording their joint album.
