Drake is reportedly set to executive produce Aaliyah’s upcoming posthumous album. He is also slated to feature the late singer on his new single.

A reliable source with inside knowledge of the situation stated that the Young Money rapper, who has a tattoo of the songstress on his back, will sit at the helm for her new album.

Details surrounding the album are scarce, but in March, producer Jeffrey “J. Dub” Walker said that an unreleased song titled “Steady Ground” will appear on the project. Aaliyah’s brother, Rashad Haughton, later said that no such album was in the works.

In late March, Drake hinted to Tim Westwood that he had some “special things” related to Aaliyah in motion. “I have some great Aaliyah news coming soon,” he said. “Just some special things. Just gave you that, just a little. Because I said, I’m with Westwood, so I can’t not. But great things, great things for music, period.” Additionally, Drake, who sampled Aaliyah’s “At Your Best (You Are Love)” for his track “Unforgettable,” is reportedly set to feature her vocals on his upcoming single.

His fascination with her is borderline obsessive.

Drake doesn't even executive produce his own albums, why is he doin' Aaliyah's??

First he tattooed her on his back, wrote a letter to her on the anniversary of her death saying that she's waiting for him in heaven, got Aaliyah earphones to wear on tour, samples her song on Thank Me Later, references her numerous times in his music, and now this?

Oh, and not to mention his 116 tattoo on his side which represents Aaliyah's birthday.

Right? That's a serious obsession that would land a normal person in a psychiatric hospital.

I agree. Remind me of some "neo soul" act's unhealthy obsession with Marvin Gaye.

It's unhealthy.

I hope this isn't true.

The song dropped already, and Timbaland is NOT happy.

*ahem* Don't say it lest they come after you.

Jks, but at least D'Angelo kept it on the level of "extreme fascination". Drake is just...

Exactly.

I do like the song though. It's nice to hear Aaliyah again. But they should make it more Aaliyah and less Drake.

I also dig 40's production with Aaliyah. Her voice works well on his beats.

If Aaloyah hadn't died in that plane crash she probably would be murdered by Drake

No, I think his attack would involve something of the sexual kind considering his imaginary relationship with her. He's probably gonna end up buying her bones.

It's a line in the song. I just laugh at the way he pronounces it.

I'm surprised that Timbaland even suggested that Drake should be on it.
