  Remembering Aaliyah: Keys N Krates Remixes X MTV interviews Missy Elliot
UNFORGETTABLE (KEYS N KRATES RMX) by Keys N Krates

AALIYAH - ONE IN A MILLI (KEYSNKRATES LIVE REMIX) by Keys N Krates

MTV interviews Missy Elliot: Remembering Aaliyah nine years later.
By Jayson Rodriguez

It's been nine years since Aaliyah Dana Haughton died in a plane crash and left an immense void in the hearts of her family, friends and fans.

The singer's star was still rising when her life was cut short. She released multiplatinum albums and had just started her film career, but there was always a sense that her journey would be a long one, destined for greatness.

Traces of her style and influence are apparent in contemporary artists, but her legacy is most evident in her collaborators, including Timbaland, Ginuwine and Missy Elliot.

Missy spoke with MTV News via e-mail and shared some of her favorite Aaliyah memories.

MTV: When you look around today at some of the current R&B stars, who do you see traces of Aaliyah's influence in?

Missy Elliott: I think it's hard for Aaliyah to be duplicated, because she had her own lane. But Ciara is an R&B singer who loves to dance, and Aaliyah was that same kinda artist. We knew when she dropped a record, we couldn't wait for the video. I think Aaliyah has influenced artists like a Ciara.

  Holl Up: Jaspects X Fonzworth Bentley: Goodbye Love

I know you may have got word about this here mixtape. However, I feel that this track "Goodbye Love" needs a spotlight. The Jaspects have been around for a few years infiltrating hip-hop heads with jazzy melodic tunes and they're so dope at it. "Goodbye Love" is actually a track from the Jaspects' album Double Consciousness released in 2007. Shouts out to Kanye and Preajok for bringing it back; even though you didn't put the whole track on there.

Now, where's From G's to GENTS Fonz??

  Devin White: iCRed Album Sampler

Newcomer Devin White is set to release his digital LP iCRed on August 12th through Interscope records.
For an interesting techno, outerspace, dance, R&B experience Devin is your dude. No pun intended. Standout tracks are "Rush," "Rollercoaster," "Pulse," and "Cry." I was feeling a Hollyweerd Steeze on a few of the tracks. Definitely not the traditional DMV sound. Go!

  Uber Indie Hustle - XO

Here is yet another DMV representer. XO, reigning from uptown D.C. is by far one of the most solid hip-hop artists I've heard from the area. His songs and lyrical content are far more extensive than your ordinary artists. He has some stuff to talk about, and its worthy of listening to. His most recent mixtape project presented by Studio 43 dropped in January and it's crazy. Oddisee and AB the producer add the heat with their production efforts. One One Ten deserves a hearty listen. Thumbs up.

HERE TO HEAR

Check out RatheMC, XO and AB the Producer working on a song about gentrification in D.C. called "Where did ya go." The quality isn't the best, but you can tell it's going to be so dope when its done.

  Trey Songz: Can't Be Friends

Trey Songz is playing no games. With the success of his last album Ready, he is releasing Pain and Pleasure on September 14th. The album along with a pack of other stuff is available for pre-order. Honestly all artists these days need to try this tactic. CD's ain't enough!!

In addition to the bracelets, shirts, memberships and other jazz you get with the pack Trey Songz along with Monica and Dondria will be kicking off the Pain and Pleasure Tour tomorrow. His most recent single "Can't be friends" is reminiscent of ready, but fresh. I think his new album is going to be just as big if not bigger than his last.

  Nina Sky: The Other Side EP

We told you it was coming...and now it has landed. The Other Side is a project that the duo decided to release independently. With all the politics behind their shelved sophomore album, the group took a turn in style. More than anything, Nina Sky has transformed from R&B to pop-electro, but nothing too heavy. It's still capable of playing at the cookout without scaring folks. production credits include Double O, DJ Yonny and Salaam Remi to name a few. Features include Naledge and MeLo-X.
