Noah Shebib COLOURS

August 5, 2012 –  “Enough Said” is leaked onto the internet by Drake and Producer Noah "40" Shebib via Soundcloud after talks that Drake would be producing posthumous Aaliyah album.

Things quickly started to heat up when fans realized that not only was Aaliyah’s family not on board with the project, but the posthumous album would not include any of Aaliyah’s original team (Missy Elliott or Timbaland).  

The media swarmed Aaliyah’s friends and family wanting to get any further details on this anticipated project, but were shut down. Rashad Haughton (Aaliyah’s big brother) commented, “There is no official album being released and supported by the Haughton family.”  

"I don't know what's going on. The proper way to do that would be for me, him and Missy to be all on the record.” Timbaland mentioned on Power 105’s Breakfast Club.  

Even though (majority) of the Aaliyahs fanbase, family and longtime collaborators (Missy and Tim) were not on board with the project, Blackground records announced the album would consist of 16 unreleased tracks and “fragments” that would be produced by Drake and Shebib. At the time, the label said the record would come out by the end of 2012 which added more confusion yet hope to Aaliyah fans who were actually all for the project.  

Shebib and Drake were long time fans of Aaliyah and saw this as an opportunity to put her unreleased material out for the fans and the world to hear Aaliyah’s sounds.

It was the year of 2014 when Shebib and Drake decided to call off the posthumous Aaliyah album. “Things went downhill with [the project]” Drake said in an interview at NYU’s Skirball Center. 

“We released [‘Enough Said’], but I was seven songs deep,” the Shebib said. “[Aaliyah’s] mother saying, ‘I don’t want this out,’ was enough for me. I walked away very quickly.”.  

The  posthumous album is scraped and never released.

Week 2: 

        This post is dedicated to my favorite music duo, Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman known as Majid Jordan. They are a Toronto-based production duo currently signed to Drake’s and Noah "40" Shebib’s OVO Sound. The two artists met while attending the University of Toronto. They discovered each other’s strong ear for music and appreciation for similar sounds. The two recorded and finished the “Afterhours EP” and published it on SoundCloud under the anonymous name “Good People”. Within 24 hours they were contacted by “40″ and were quickly signed to his label. In 2013, they helped write and produce Drake's hit "Hold On, We're Going Home”. In 2016, the duo released their first album self-titled “Majid Jordan”. The concept was for the album to be an introduction to the next level in the journey in music. It had more songs than the EP, more content, more styles of music, and more speeds and tempos. Majid Jordan’s best quality is its intimate feel, sounding like each song is the extension of a conversation and is to be heard by a specific set of ears I love their music because it’s very different from the majority of mainstream music. The songs on the album are unique in that they are formed from many genres. Combined with Majid’s voice, you get music that you is R&B fused with electronic house rhythms. There are songs that you sit back and chill to, and songs that make you want to break out on a dance floor. Songs like “Love Is Always There” and “Warm” are certainly lethargic whereas, “Shake Shake Shake” has a lot of energy. My personal favorites from the album are “Learn From Each Other”, “King City”, and “Something About You”. However, for me, this is one of those albums where all the songs are amazing, not just one or two. If you listen to them and is interested in more look out for their upcoming album “The Space Between” releasing October 27, 2017.
