Chris Brown to Sample Aaliyah's Vocals on 'They Don't Know'

Breezy's follow-up to 'Fine China' will feature a
never-before-heard sample from the late
singer Aaliyah.
During
the
BET
Awards
press
conference
on
Tuesday,
confirmed
musical
performer
Chris
Brown
took
the
opportunity
to reveal that his follow-up single to "Fine
China" entitled "They Don't Know" is soon
coming out. The new track, which will appear
on the 24-year-old performer's forthcoming
sixth album " X " due to be released on July 16,
will feature never-before-heard vocals from
the late R'n'B songstress Aaliyah.
"I got something special for my fans. It's
called 'They Don't Know'," said Brown. "All new
stuff that's never been heard before. It's
something special for all my fans." Apart from
Aaliyah, other top acts collaborating with
Brown on his new record include MTV Hottest
MC Kendrick Lamar and "American Idol" judge
Nicki Minaj with Timbaland , Polow Da Don,
Danja, Pharrell Williams , and Drumma Boy
providing the production.
Just over the weekend, Brown had already shot
the video for the new single, going over to
60th street and Cedar Block in Los Angeles for
the footage. "I shot it in the hood," Breezy
disclosed. "I wanted to bring both worlds
together in the video and try to uplift the
positive side of the community. I mean I come
from Virginia, but everyone come from a
broken home or broke. I remember when I
was."
The late '90s R'n'B icon has been and is
continually being memorialized years after her
tragic death back in 2001 at the young age of
22, after the plane that she boarded along with
her crew that was supposed to take them back
to the U.S. from the Bahamas crashed just
shortly after take-off. Brown's rival Drake was
first to use an Aaliyah sample on his track
"Enough Said" released last year.
