Rapper Drake might be working on a new Aaliyah music
project. The rapper and actor has been busy promoting his sophomore album Take
Care, released last November and he suggested that he could be working on a
posthumous collaboration with Aaliyah, reports Digital Spy."I have some
great Aaliyah news coming soon," Drake told Tim Westwood in an interview.
"Some special things." On 25 August 2001, Aaliyah boarded a plane
along with members of her record label after she finished filming her 'Rock the
Boat' music video. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff at The Bahamas. Last
month, her former producer hinted that a posthumous album of unreleased
material may be out in the future. Drake, however, refused to elaborate when
Westwood asked him if his news had anything do with the rumoured record.
"Just some special things, you know," Drake teased. "Great
things for music, period." Drake previously wrote a letter to Aaliyah on
the ninth anniversary of her death, in which he shared that he was "truly
in love" with her. Back in 2009, he posted on Twitter: 'I miss Aaliyah...
I hope you hear the words in my music and smile knowing you inspired them
all." "I think more than anything Aaliyah always made music that was
never uncomfortable for me to listen to," he told Westwood. "You know
it's hard for me to ride around to a female singer because at the end of the
day, you're a man, but she always kept it so G with the writing and the
melodies. It was something to ride to, especially when it was chopped and
crewed. That's when I used to love Aaliyah the most."
