TIMBALAND is set to release his new mixtape, KING STAYS KING on Christmas Day through MyMixtapez.com. The multi-talented musician teamed up with music’s newest acts, Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan, Mila J, Blaze and more to create the ultimate holiday gift from music lovers! This is TIMBALAND‘s first major project since his success as the executive music producer for FOX’s television series, EMPIRE.
KING STAYS KING is a 16 track mixtape that captures the classic “Timbaland” sound with the assistance of new acts who have developed their own signature musical style in 2015. TIMBALAND takes the lead on the entire project’s production. One of the mixtape’s stand out tracks, “Get No Betta” features R&B’s breakout star and Motown signee, Mila J. Mila and TIMBALAND‘s chemistry on the track is undeniable and both artists’ styles beautifully blend together. The more unexpected collaborations on the mixtape come from hip-hop’s most interesting and genre bending artists, Young Thug, Blaze, and Rich Homie Quan. The record, “Didn’t Do It” with Young Thug features his trademark hip-hop crooning over brilliant beats from TIMBALAND. The song, “Servin” featuring Blaze, also a single to KING STAYS KING, is one of the hottest tracks on the project, sure to be a fan favorite. To some fans, the most exciting news about KING STAYS KING is that it will feature an unheard track from the late singer, Aaliyah. Through out the entire mixtape, each unforeseen collaboration makes for an extremely cohesive project.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been able to give the world some new music. I’ve spent a lot of time working on this project and I am just looking forward to giving my fans some dope sounds to close out the year,” says TIMBALAND.
Prior to gearing up for the release of KING STAYS KING, TIMBALAND has been adding to his entertainment kingdom for many years. TIMBALAND‘s last solo album, Shock Value II was released in 2009. The super producer followed his critically acclaimed album by focusing on developing the Mosley Music Group roster. TIMBALAND decided to introduce young Chicago emcee, Tink to the entertainment industry. With his help, the Chicago native made a huge splash on the scene with her single, “Million” and impressive XXL 2015 Freshman Cypher freestyle. At the top of 2015, TIMBALAND ventured off into television, providing the popular soundtrack to the record breaking television series, EMPIRE. Merging his two worlds together, TIMBALAND introduced to Mosley Music Group artist, V. Bozeman to the world with a reoccurring role on EMPIRE and released solo music throughout the year. As EMPIRE went into its successful second season, TIMBALAND continued to provide tunes to the hit show and released his first memoir, The Emperor of Sound. While some may think he remained out of the spotlight, TIMBALAND subtly dominated the entertainment industry with new artists, television, literature, and technology.
Soon after the mixtape’s release, TIMBALAND will continue to gift his fans with music videos for “Get No Betta” featuring Mila J and “Servin” featuring Blaze, which they are currently shooting in Atlanta. In January, the producer will embark on a 20 date club tour, performing his new music and classic hits. KING STAYS KING will be available for download on MyMixtapez.com Friday, December 25th. Be sure to keep a look out for TIMBALAND’s new LP, TEXTBOOK TIMBO coming in early 2016.
