Hip-hop’s most controversial star, Chris Brown is set to unveil a new single which will undoubtedly garner much uproar – as it will feature a previously-unreleased vocal recording from late singer Aaliyah.
The R&B musician, who passed away in 2001, will make a posthumous appearance on ‘They Don’t Know’ – which is expected to feature on Brown’s new album X.
That full-length will be released on 16 July, with the Aaliyah-sampling track in question likely to surface prior to that.
