SMOOTH’s premiere issue celebrates Aaliyah, whose understated vocals and forward-looking R&B helped define the late 1990s and early 2000s. This tribute cover captures the lasting impact of the singer and actor during the era of her self-titled final studio album. Cover lines also feature Nelly, Garcelle Beauvais and Suge Knight.
