In a definitive and “excellent homage to a star who left this planet too soon” (Questlove), the life, career, tragic death, and evolution of Aaliyah into a music legend are explored—now updated with new material featuring in-depth research and exclusive interviews. By twenty-two years old, Aaliyah had already accomplished a staggering amount: hit records, acclaimed acting roles, and fame that was just about to cross over into superstardom. Like her song, she was already “more than a woman” but her shocking death in a plane crash prevented her from fully growing into one. Now, two decades later, the full story of Aaliyah’s life and cultural impact is finally and lovingly revealed. Baby Girl features never-before-told stories, including studio anecdotes, personal tales, and eyewitness accounts on the events leading up to her untimely passing. Her enduring influence on today’s artists—such as Rihanna, Drake, Normani, and many more—is also celebrated, providing Aaliyah’s discography a cultural critique that is long overdue. “There’s no better way to pay your respect to R&B’s true angel than to lose yourself in the pages” (Kim Osorio, journalist and author of Straight from the Source) of this “dazzling biography” (Publishers Weekly) that is as unforgettable as its subject. This book was written without the participation of Aaliyah’s family/estate.

Sage is living the fast life with her homegirls Nesh, KiKi and Shay, dating Dope Boys and having fun when life hits her hard and she's left fractured with no clear way as to how to pick up the pieces. Things have changed forever and there is no going back, only forward. Sage doesn't know anything other than the life she's lived, and she's ill-equipped to undertake a new journey with the cards she's been dealt. She finds that the more she tries to do things different, the more she ends up two steps behind only to end up in the same place. BabyGirl is a nostalgic trip down memory lane about Sage aka Ali, who is not your average girl from the hood. She's smart, wise beyond her years, and knows there's more to life than what she's seen growing up. But, Sage also likes the finer things in life, and doesn't mind hustling to get it. She just doesn't want to end up dead or in jail like so many others from South Central, Los Angeles. Yet, that's exactly where she will end up if she doesn't use her street and book smarts to alter her lifestyle and avoid an almost certain fate.
