Well, well, well! It seems like Christmas 2015 is here to leave a lasting impression for music lovers everywhere!

If you thought new Aaliyah music was just a figment of your imagination, you can think again. Super-producer and now legendary musical inspiration Timbaland has finally hand delivered his latest mixtape, King Stays King.

Calling on some of his famous friends to assist, the 17-track project features help from Tink, Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, Yo Gotti, 2 Chaniz, and an unreleased track featuring Aaliyah titled “Shakin.” Sending an official tweet out dedicating the project to the late singer, Tim tweeted: “Aaliyah..This is for you baby.”

Timbaland’s well-anticipated album Textbook Timbo is set to hit shelves in 2016 and he will launch a 20-date club tour around it.
