When word got out that Aaliyah stan/'the self proclaimed only rapper to successfully rap and sing' Drake would be executive producing a posthumous Aaliyah album there were mixed responses. One of the main concerns was whether or not Timbaland and Missy would be involved with the project. Seeing as though they were close friends of the late singer and worked on a great deal of music with her I agree that it would only be right.
According to Miss Info Timb & Miss will be working on the album:
"According to our source, “Enough Said” was released by Aaliyah’s own label, Blackground Records, which is run by her uncle Barry Hankerson. The song wasn’t leaked by Drake.As for how involved Drake is, I’m hearing he’s only on one song right now. But that Noah “40″ Shebib is producing a majority of the tracks. I’m 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! I’m hearing that Tim is getting involved. So far I’m hearing he’s 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."
Another thought of mine about this whole thing is where is her family? They have been firm about not having an Aaliyah movie put out (read here: ) so I knew that they could not be involved in this project. Here is what her brother had to say:
"there isn't an "official album being released and supported by the Haughton family" (source)
