It’s been over a decade since we’ve heard new music from the late Aaliyah, and thanks to Chris Brown her velvet-smooth voice is headed back to radio.

Breezy sampled previously unreleased vocals from the R&B princess for his new single “They Don’t Know,” lifted from his upcoming sixth studio album X.

According to reports, Brown shot the visuals for the track in Los Angeles.

“I shot it in the ‘hood. I went to 60th Street and Cedar Block. [I’m] bringing both worlds together and trying to uplift the poverty side of the community and show them where I’m from,” Brown said. “I’m from Virginia, but everybody comes from a broken home or being broke — I remember when I was.”

X is scheduled to hit stories on July 16, but until then check out a two-minute snippet of “They Don’t Know” below.
