Finally, T-Pain's been a little quiet as far as the music scenes concerned, but that's all gonna change.  Pain has been hard at work in the studio, putting the final touches on his next project.  The rapper/singer/producer sat down with VIBE recently to talk details about his upcoming mixtape, The Iron Way.

During the interview, Pain said he had the late Aaliyah as one the featured artists on the tape.  He revealed, "I actually have Aaliyah on a song.  These are vocals people never heard before." As it turns out he was working on a Aaliyah album a few years ago, and was asked to produce two singles for the project, which has yet to be released.

Pain told VIBE, at the time he was given the option to keep one of singles and that's how he managed to get the late songbirds voice on a track called, "Girlfriends" for his forthcoming mixtape.  Speaking of which, T-Pain's The Iron Way drops online on tomorrow (Friday, March 27).
