Listen to a New Drake Track Featuring Unheard Aaliyah Vocals

“Talk Is Cheap” recalls the late singer’s signature smooth, sexy style.

Since the release of "Enough Said" in 2012, there have been rumblings of another Drake x Aaliyah collaboration. Today, the 6 God has finally come good. "Talk is Cheap" features reworked vocals recorded before the late singer's death, alongside verses by the man himself. It's an early 2000's-type slow burner, which pays ample tribute to Aaliyah's signature smooth, sexy style, and letting her vocals, which form the hook, take centre stage. That is, until a typically-in-his-feelings-Drake takes a swipe at Kanye: "How come 'Ye never busy when I'm busy / But the moment that I'm free he always end up with some other plans?").
