Drake reportedly previewed an unreleased Aaliyah song on Instagram.
Drake has worked on several tracks for a posthumous album, however plans for the project were scrapped.
“Before things went downhill with it, I was actually working with my dream collaboration,” Drake said of his work on an Aaliyah posthumous album during a recent CRWN interview. “Me and 40 were working on this Aaliyah album that kind of got blown out of proportion. There are records with me and Aaliyah that no one has ever heard and they’re really good.”
During that interview, Drake also addressed why he felt the plans for the album were scrapped.
“I think the press got out of hand,” Drake said. “They maybe just had a different vision for it. I’m not sure. It was sounding great to me. Whatever they end up doing with it, I wish them the best of luck. There might be a record with me on there. I’m not sure.”
In 2012, it was reported that Drake would be an executive producer on an upcoming Aaliyah project.
Timbaland and others criticized Drake’s involvement with the project.
“A lot of these rappers out here are awful,” Timbaland said in July. “Chris Brown got a record [with Aaliyah]. It won’t work. Drake could do a record with Aaliyah. It ain’t going to work.”
Drake also recently announced that he is set to premiere five unreleased songs before 2014. The selections are not slated to be released as an EP, according to Drake.
“Not an EP, but maybe a blog thing like how I did ‘Versace,’ ‘The Motion,’ all those in one night,” Drake said during a recent interview with VIBE. “I’ll probably do ‘Trophies’ and three or four other records.”
Theres a solid plug for cheez it’s in there
the greatest rapper of the new generation its undeniable drake is the leader of new school rap and the guarantied face of rap after washed up hasbins like eminem and jay z retire. Drake runs this rap shit its a fact that cant be disputed. Numbers prove it so unless you come at me with numbers fuck off with your shitty opinions you internet nerd virgins.
Your smokin crack if you think Drake is the leader of the new school. First Kendrick is, not Drake. Drake is the new Ja Rule. The new Nelly. Not Em or Jay in any way. You can act like he is something big but we have all seen this before. They come and go every 5 years. Just wait, you will see this guy becomes just another washed up artist.
drake album sales 2 platinum albums 1 double platinum most number 1 hits highest selling tours etc. Kendrick doesnt come close to drakes numbers kendrick is nothing compared to drake numbers prove it. Like i said numbers> = facts>> your shitty opinions.
LOL “”they come and go every 5 years”????
hhaahahahahah if you think DRAKE isnt going to last more than 5 years you are a fucking idiotic niggggerrrrrr
DRAKE IS KING
EVERYONE LOVES HIM
…drake is such a fag.
bunch of emo niggaz sittin around cryin
The reason no one wanted you making an Aaliyah album is because your not in that camp. Never was and never will be. Your just a new artist looking to do something different I get that but that’s pure disrespect to say your making an album and you don’t think others that knew her should be the ones that do it. Not you. You really need to grow up Drake. I can’t believe you can’t see where you went wrong.
I totally agree with you. He’s never met the girl. How could he know what she would like in the studio? It’s disrespectful for real
Couldn’t respect it if I wanted to.
