The news all Aaliyah fans have been waiting for since her passing in 2001 has finally become a reality; a new album is on the way.

Jeffrey “J. Dub” Walker, a producer who worked on her posthumous self titled “Aaliyah” album (“I Refuse, “I Can Be”), today revealed on his Twitter account that this would indeed be the case.

“Just got great news today; the smash unreleased song called “Steady Ground” I produced on #Aaliyah is gonna be on her upcoming album:)”, said Walker.

Some may have already heard the Static Major penned “Steady Ground”, as it’s made its rounds on the internet after her passing as an unreleased song. In fact, J. Dub revealed exclusively to YouKnowIGotSoul that the song was in fact intended to be a single on the “Aaliyah” album:

“It was really the first single after “Rock The Boat”, but my engineer was mixing the record and somehow lost the vocals. So the vocals that you hear are really just the demo vocals”, said Walker. “The final vocals got erased, so yeah. So that’s why it didn’t make the album.”

Even though it’s been a decade since Aaliyah’s passing, her fans have not wavered in their support of her artistry and should be excited about this news. Stay tuned to YouKnowIGotSoul for more details on the album.

I don't know about this one.

Unfortunate.

It's one of 11 tracks that didn't make it on what turned out to be her final album.

This should have been released 10 years ago. It's just weird to put something out this long after her passing.

Uh, I hate to tell them, but Aaliyah is dead.

That shit sounds like a gospel song.

Folks need to stop trying to capitalize on the dead and let Aaliyah rest in peace.

^^^Seriously!
