Chills… both of the amazed variety and the slightly creeped out kind!

So rap's current golden boy Drake is apparently a massive Aaliyah fan, and it seems dude has been a-busy constructing posthumous Aaliyah tracks using the late, great talent's unreleased material!

A duet titled Enough Said (above) JUST leaked all over them tricky internetz, and the tune features Aaliyah's unforgettable purr paired with Drake's signature methodical rapping, all backed up with slow and somber atmospheric sounds, and of course a repetitive drum beat.

While Drake has

This is FABulous news!!!

According to producer, Jeffery “J. Dub” Walker, Aaliyah's unreleased material could be compiled for a brand new album!

Walker, who produced songs off Aaliyah's last and self-titled album, tweeted that one of his songs would be on an upcoming album. The song, Steady Ground, didn't make the cut on Aaliyah due to its final vocals becoming lost during the final recording phases.

Could we see a posthumous Aaliyah comeback?!

Not so fast:

So well deserved!

Today, the Recording Academy announced that Steve Jobs will be posthumously honored during a special ceremony one day before this year's Grammy Awards.

Jobs' significant contribution to the music industry will be recognized with a Special Merit Award, which falls under the Grammys' Trustees Award category.

Given the fact that pretty much EVERYONE listens to their music on iTunes these days, we'd say Steve definitely earned this honor!

What do U think? Does Steve Jobs deserve a Grammy???

Amy Winehouse's latest album Lioness: Hidden Treasures is topping the U.K., but who is benefiting from all her posthumous success?

To set the record straight, it is NOT Blake Fielder-Civil, her ex-husband who introduced her to all sorts of drugs. Thankfully, the late musician rewrote her will shortly after divorcing him and left her estate to her family.

As we

This is really such a beautiful tribute to her life.

Check out the just-released music video for the late, great Amy Winehouse song Our Day Will Come, which is the lead single off of her posthumous album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures (above)!

Our heartbreaking as it is to watch this and know that she's gone, we're so happy to see this old footage of her, depicting a happy and healthy young woman doing what she loved most.

This is exactly how she should be remembered.

May she R.I.P.

So bittersweet.

As happy as we are to have new music from her, it's only that much more of a reminder that she'll never be able to make any more.

Check out the first song to debut from Amy Winehouse's upcoming posthumous album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures - which was compiled by producers Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson with the consent of the late singer's family - called Like Smoke, which also features fresh verses from Nas (above)!

Definitely sounds as though this one may have been recorded earlier in her career, during the Frank sessions, but her voice is as flawless and soulful as ever, and the rapping fits well with the tone of the track!

May Amy be at peace.

You're missed, gurl.
