The long awaited hardships and battles are finally over! Aaliyah's music will FINALLY be available for every Aaliyah Nation lover to stream on all major streaming platforms! 😊 🙌🏽 🎉

Honestly I am over the moon right now. 20 years later, and never did I imagine that this could ever be a reality. All the hardwork, dedication and craft towards Aaliyah's music was something she unfortunately lost her life to, for her beloved fans. Day in and day out this woman worked well over and beyond to perfect her craft in ways that others simply were not doing, or would ever understand back then. The importance of this day marks a moment in music history that we shall never forget.

Over the years, we have seen so many other artists and groups paying homage, tributes and even sampling Baby Girl's tracks, but the factor always remained that although it had been a beautiful moment to witness, a whole generation of younger fans would be missing out on a legendary artist, who inspired so many of the artists that we see today. Knowing that Aaliyah's influence through her fashion, style and music is so prevalent within today's modern world, it has proven how far ahead of time Aaliyah was through the vision of her artistry. Knowing that a new audience will finally be able to see where the original Blue Print behind all their favourites originated from, is something that finally brings comfort and joy to my heart as an older fan.
