I would assume they'll only be doing 12" vinyls and exclusive releases, and timing releases to commemorate artists. It includes rare masters and previously bootlegged sessions.Īaliyah is one of the many artists whose catalog Certified has rare material from and will be repackaging. associated with them.īig L Devil's Son EP is a glimpse of what to expect from Certified being it was released yesterday on a 12" vinyl for the first time in any official capacity. If you're wondering what's happening to her music right now, you should know that Sony fairly recently created a brand called Certified Classics which aims to repackage and rerelease undisputed classic hip-hop and R&B albums as 20th and 25th anniversary specials as well as previously unheard albums, sessions, outtakes, footage, etc. They can't sell, repackage, or redistribute her music on Apple Music or other platforms because they are not the sole copyright owners. They are more like a storage facility holding someone's belongings. Actually Reservoir Media Management are not responsible for the distribution of Aaliyah's music.
