    In a series of posts made on Twitter this week Barry Hankerson (@BarryHankerson), the man claiming to be the uncle and former manager of the late Aaliyah on Twitter, revealed the alleged cover art for what he says will be Aaliyah’s posthumous album.

    Hankerson also revealed that the album will be released sometime next year.

    “Aaliyah posthumous 2013 16 unreleased tracks produced by @Drake @OVO40 Enough said #TeamAaliyah RT,” said Hankerson in various Tweets.

    The cover art features a black and white picture of the singer as well as the singer’s signature “A” logo.

    1. that cover is stunning. all thats needed on it is missy and timb. aside from that though, being that it’s a posthumous album and she is not even around – i can overlook the fact that those guys aren’t on it. it’s not like Drake was in the studio with her and chose to leave out missy and timb. so in hindsight i’ll listen to a few songs here and there but my full support WOULD HAVE been given if the people who knew her best were involved.

    2. Ja Rule?? he should’ve ignored 50 Cent..50 got him off his game of taking over the world with pop tunes. he was 1 video away from pink velour suits and lip gloss with homos blowing bubbles.

    3. Drake is thinking about calling the album, “Dead and Buried” in reference to Timbo and Missy’s careers.

    4. Ja Rule heard got his hands on an advanced copy of the Aaliyah album, and told a reporter for XXL that it was quite possibly the worst sounding thing since Curtis.

      1. anybody using the moniker “youngsta” “lil” or whatever needs to get a grip on reality and grow the hell up and accept the fact that you’re becoming an adult. seriously. jackass

      2. 2nd anonymous, you sound mad. i’m still in high school and of course i’m going to be an adult soon. a YOUNG adult so i’ll still be young. i’ll turn old when i turn 30.

        3rd anon, you’re still a ja rule dickrider.

    5. I don’t like the album cover because of one major reason: It shows the figure of Aaliyah underwater.

      Being that she died in a plane crash off the coast of the Bahamas, I’d say if this is real, then it is a major fail.

      1. This photo was taken within several hours before the crash by the way. It was during her Rock the Boat shoot.

    6. Wait Timbaland and Missy are NOT participating, and her family condemns it. Yet they STILL are going to go through with this!! I mean, yes Barry was her uncle, but shouldn’t he respect his niece’s family’s wishes then?? I mean, is he really going to do what Selena’s father has done and exploit the dead singers unreleased material to a point that is unreasonable.

    7. STOP THE HATING…all you MORONS…youre all jumping to CONCLUSIONS and making IDIOTIC comments and posting LAME OPINIONS…im not gonna go through and tell your flaws but know this…imma Aaliyah FAN from before her 1st album DROPPED…i was fortunate to receive a PROMO copy way before her 1st album was released and followed her career closely as well as with the rest of the SUPAfriendz (Timbaland, Magoo, Missy Elliott, Playa, & Ginuwine)…most of yall only have your FACTS 1/2 right and the rest of your posts are NEGATIVE and seriously all of you either need some good SEX or THERAPY…if you really research the story from day one theres so much confusion but the MAIN facts are…theres an album being made, Drake & Noah are co-producing, Timbo & Missy have NOT YET been APPROACHED (they can be so stop speculating), The Family is all for it but they all have different reasons (which has been scrutinized online and is none of our business), and lastly theres so much HATING like on this POST THREAD that Aaliyah would be DISAPPOINTED in all of YOU for ACTING this WAY…so just ENJOY the FACT that we are gonna get an album to hear her ONE IN A MILLION VOICE AGAIN….ENJOY LIFE and STOP MAKING LIFE ANNOYING WITH HATE & SARCASM….with that said LIFE can be more enjoyable if yall USED your HEARTS instead of your DIRTY MOUTHS & MINDS…sorry but thers some posts that are POSITIVE but the NEGATIVE needs TO STOP!!!
