With all the news surrounding Drake and 40 co-executive producing Aaliyah’s posthumous album, I thought it only right to take it back to an interview in which Drake discusses her influence on him. For as long as I can remember, Drake has mentioned Aaliyah in his interviews and this is one of my favorite interviews in which he does so. Also, today it was confirmed by Blackground Records that Drake and 40 will indeed be co-executive producing the album which is set to drop sometime this fall. Catch the interview after the jump.
