Infamous record producer Timbaland has made history throughout the years. He's had hits from late recording artist Aaliyah, to the pop and R&B phenomenon Justin Timberlake. He's worked with A list artists including Jay Z, Nas, 50 Cent, Eminem, Madonna, and Run DMC, just to name a few, of the limitlessly, most creative talent he's collaborated and worked with. 

One artist in particular he has worked pretty close with over the years, is Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott. He has produced two of Missy’s LP’s, “This is not a test” in 2002 and “Under Construction”, created in 2003. They both blossomed together and set the tone for their era of music. 

When deciding to team up with the late R&B princess, Aaliyah; they collectively produced nine tracks on her second album entitled, “One in a Million”. This album was ranked number 90 on Rolling Stones, “100 Greatest Albums of the 1990’s” and listed as one of 33 Hip Hop/R&B albums in Rolling Stones, “Essential Albums of the 90’s." The two made a huge impact on Hip Hop and R&B in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, with songs such as, Missy Elliot’s “The Rain," “Work It," “Get Your Freak On," and “One Minute Man." Together, they proved to everyone that when they work together, there are no limits!

Although Timbaland has been working on his “Purple Rain”, a solo album entitled, “Opera Noir” with no features; the hip hop and R&B connoisseurs have found the time to give the industry another run for its money. It’s been nearly a decade since Missy has dropped her solo record, “The Cook Book” in 2005, but Timbaland has spilled the beans about a soon to be released studio album entitled, “Block Party," by Missy Elliott. In a recent interview, Timbaland states, “Its something you’ve never heard Missy do, it’s today but it’s the future.” 

From the sounds of everything, the album seems to be pretty promising, and when these two collaborate, it's usually a murder scene!  If it's anything like the feeling us 90’s kids used to get when listening to their creativeness intertwine, then this album is definitely something to endure!
