While Aiko is known for having a close-knit relationship with Young Money’s Drake, she opted out of putting him in her Top 5.

1. 2Pac. I would get in arguments with my best friend who was a Tupac fan. 2. Eminem. I love Eminem. 3. Jay Z. My top three will pretty remain the same: Tupac, Eminem, Jay Z. 4. Kanye West. I jacked Kanye’s verse for my mixtape. 5. Notorious B.I.G. I feel like I have to say Biggie off the top because it’s Biggie. (Complex)

Jhené saved her latter selections for more new school artists like Kendrick Lamar and Kid Cudi.

6. Drake. I look up to Drake. 7. Ab-Soul Of course Ab-Soul and Kendrick are in my top 10. 8. Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick obviously–I understand him being people’s number one. 9. Kid Cudi. Cudi always does his own thing. 10. Snoop Dogg. Snoop because he’s Snoop Dogg. (Complex)

When asked about her professional bond to Drake, Aiko recently admitted they were musical soulmates.

Jhené Aiko has found her match in Drake. During Power 106’s “Valentine’s Crush” concert in L.A., the “Bed Peace” singer opened up about her connection with the Canadian rapper, who she collaborated and toured with last year. “I think that he is probably like my musical soulmate,” she told Rap-Up TV. “I just feel like our voices compliment each other, our writing styles, all of that.” Last month, Jhené joined Drake while performing “From Time” on “SNL.” “I’m not really used to cameras yet and TV performance-type things, so I was just like super nervous,” she admitted. “I think it came out good.” (Rap-Up)

Music producer Noah “40” Shebib recently likened Aiko to late music icon Aaliyah.

Noah “40? Shebib agrees that Jhene Aiko is Drake’s “musical soulmate”, and even went as far as to compare the “From Time” vocalist to Aaliyah. “She has a very beautiful, very unique voice,” complimented the Nothing Was The Same producer. “She’s not a big powerhouse Beyoncé vocalist but she has something like Aaliyah. She has a tone that’s beautiful, recognizable and very much her.” (XXL Mag)
