It’s been 17 years since the tragic death of hip-hop’s babygirl, Aaliyah. From her beauty, music and style, to her ‘ jazz personality, G mentality,’ the princess of R&B left behind an everlasting legacy.
Aaliyah Dana Haughton first took over the scene in the mid 90’s with her debut studio album Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number (1994), which carried hits such as “Back & Forth,” “At Your Best (You Are Love),” and “Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number.” The singer then released two more successful albums, One in a Million (1996) and Aaliyah (2001), and even delved into the world of acting, appearing in Romeo Must Die (2000) and Queen of the Damned (2002 posthumous release).
