Finally after years of fans pleading for the music of Aaliyah to hit streaming platforms, word is that our dreams are coming true! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>via:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/uproxx.com\/music\/aaliyah-jojo-music-streaming-services-blackground-records-deal-artist-royalties\/\">Uproxx<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For years, fans have been&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uproxx.com\/music\/aaliyah-estate-updates-fan-progress-streaming-services\/\">begging for Aaliyah\u2019s music to be released on streaming services<\/a>. The late singer\u2019s label, Blackground Records, finally announced that many of their artists\u2019 music, including Aaliyah\u2019s, will be made available to stream. While fans may be rejoicing about their ability to rock out to their favorite Aaliyah classics, not everyone can share the same excitement as several of the artists won\u2019t see the profits.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blackground Records announced on Thursday that they have officially inked a new deal with Empire,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/articles\/news\/9610793\/aaliyah-music-return-streaming-services-blackground-empire\">per a report from Billboard<\/a>. The deal allows their artists\u2019 music to hit streaming services for the first time ever. Aaliyah\u2019s Estate, however, wasn\u2019t happy with the decision. Hours before the news was announced,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/uproxx.com\/music\/aaliyah-music-streaming-service-not-approved-by-estate\/\">Aaliyah\u2019s Estate issued a lengthy statement<\/a>\u00a0criticizing unnamed executives for coming forward to \u201cleech off\u201d the singer\u2019s career. They called the deal an \u201cunscrupulous endeavor to release Aaliyah\u2019s music\u201d without transparency or their approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>R&amp;B singer JoJo now finds herself in a similar position. The singer signed to Blackground Records when she was still a preteen.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uproxx.com\/pop\/jojo-honda-backstage\/\">As explained in a recent Honda Backstage interview<\/a>, JoJo says the label refused to release her music for years. Because of that, JoJo\u2019s career fell off and she ended up taking matters into her own hands by suing Blackground Records and eventually re-recording her early albums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>JoJo reacted to the Blackground Records news shortly after it was announced. The singer took to social media to express her surprise about new deal. \u201cWho would\u2019ve thought\u2026,\u201d she tweeted.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Replying to a fans\u2019 tweet, JoJo claimed she will not be awarded any profits from the streaming sales of her early albums. \u201cnever telling you what to do, but just so you know \u2013 a stream of the re-recorded 2018 version supports me and helps me continue to do what I love,\u201d she wrote. \u201cstreaming the original unfortunately does not.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Image: Getty<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blackground Records Make Aaliyah And JoJo\u2019s Music Available To Stream \u2014 But The Artists Won\u2019t See Profits!
