Aaliyah ft The Weeknd…new music from the R&B star 20 years after her death

More than 20 years after her death, R&B artiste Aaliyah is set to hit the music charts again with a brand new collab.

She and The Weeknd will officially join forces this week on a new single “Poison”.

The track was announced yesterday by Blackground Records 2.0 and Empire.

“Poison” will be released Friday ahead of the late R&B singer’s posthumous album, which will be released at a later date.

Barry Hankerson, Aaliyah’s uncle and Blackground Records founder hinted that The Weeknd would not be alone when it comes to A-list artists added to the upcoming album of new Aaliyah music.

Hankerson suggested that Drake, Future, Ne-Yo, Chris Brown and Snoop Dogg are also featured.

Much of Aaliyah’s music has not been accessible on Digital Service Providers for more than a decade following her death in a plane accident on Aug. 25, 2001, when she was only 22 years old.

Hankerson has now partnered with EMPIRE to put Aaliyah’s entire catalog on streaming for the first time ever.
