#OnThisDay September 19, 1999 Aaliyah snaps a photo with American film director, producer, and screenwriter Jeffrey W. Byrd @byrdjeff while on set of the “Holiday” music video for Naughty by Nature.

For Aaliyah’s scene, fans walk into a Hip Hop Museum that contains a very small hip hop gallery for the visitors viewing pleasure. On a digital pad, fans select various hip hop artist who digitally appear before them; one of the options being Aaliyah. After hitting “Enter”, a realistic digital hologram-like figure of Aaliyah appears while dancing to the music.

"Holiday" is the fourth and final single released from American hip hop trio Naughty by Nature's fifth album, Nineteen Naughty Nine: Nature's Fury. The album itself was released on October 5, 1999.
