Her music has done so much for me, and she is the reason why I want to become an entertainer. One In A Million is one of my absolute favorite albums. Everything about it is just so magical and beautiful. The production, the writing, the music videos. I love everything about it. Did you? Happy 5 out of 5 stars.

Are You That Somebody - Single Down with the Clique - EP About Aaliyah. Having been in the music business since the s -- managing Knight and Kelly, but also the late Dennis Edwards of The Temptations , among others -- he had an extensive Rolodex of industry contacts and, he knew, insatiable demand for what he possessed.
Everybody had their reservations -- rightly so, because there were false starts in the past. But once we knew that the estate wanted the music out now, he just felt like the timing was right. Indeed, the Blackground catalog is one of the last holdouts of the streaming age -- and one that evokes the most doubt and cynicism when the possibility of its reemergence is brought up.
Another source who worked with Blackground in the past says that over the years there was always a plan to release the catalog or a new album, that there always seemed to be momentum toward a deal -- and yet nothing ever materialized. Still, the demand from fans, both new and old, remains fervent, and now in the streaming age, there seems to be plenty of potential for the catalog to blossom. The 17 albums have sold All of which factored in as Hankerson debated over which company should have the opportunity to help distribute these albums to the market.
So when you add all that up, it was a couple of years before we could even really consider putting the music out. Ghazi who goes by his mononym founded EMPIRE in , after years as a musician and producer himself, as an independent, digital-first distributor that emphasized speed and flexibility, nonexclusive deals and deep roots in the hip-hop world.
That has allowed the company to grow rapidly in the streaming era, putting out early albums by Kendrick Lamar , Anderson. By the time the opportunity with Blackground came along, the company had grown enough to merit a seat at the table in negotiations. It was during the pandemic that Ghazi began speaking to Hankerson in earnest about the Blackground catalog, and the idea of EMPIRE being the one to rerelease it became a reality.
So he was just a match for me, and when we sat down and talked in San Francisco it was a no-brainer to give him the opportunity of working our music.
That was the only way for us to put it together. Along the way, Hankerson will also be rolling out a new streaming app called Music, which will have licensing deals with a wide swath of record companies as well as video features, a vinyl-scratching tool and new Blackground remixes and releases that will initially only be available through the app.
And, should anyone think this is all a swan song to his career, Hankerson will also be relaunching Blackground as a new front-line label, with distribution through EMPIRE, to which he has already signed one artist, Autumn Marini, from Atlanta. There are plans to release a posthumous album of new Aaliyah music, though a release date has not been announced, and Hankerson has been hard at work on new songs -- staying late at sessions and keeping himself away from other distractions, like interviews, for example.
Hankerson says that he has new music that includes features from Drake, Future , Ne-Yo , Chris Brown and Snoop Dogg , while Timbaland has remixed and produced some of the sessions and Hankerson says Tank has indicated his willingness to lend his services, too.
Tank, along with several other former Blackground artists, declined to speak for this story. But I learned to live with that. On Jan. In addition, the estate was not made aware of the impending release of the catalog until after the deal was complete and plans were in place. Instead, Blackground and the estate have communicated through representatives. I wish we had the same relationship that we had years ago.
I love my sister.
