Timbaland uses AI for his dream collaboration with Biggie.
Artificial Intelligence is going viral after the recent songs with popular artists’ voices were made by the technology. Timbaland decided to use the technology to make his dream collab, which is a song with late rapper The Notorious BIG.
“I always wanted to work with Big and I never got a chance to until today. It came out right,” said Timbaland. The song’s preview featured Ai-made Biggie raps over the original Timba beat, where he mentions other late rappers like Young Dolph, Pop Smoke and Nipsey Hussle.
“Man this Sh*t sound hard asf,” wrote Offset. “Sounds dope but dont feel right,” said a fan. “please don’t co-sign this movement Timbo,” wrote another. “We all know that a track with BIG and Aaliyah produced by Timbaland would have broke the damn radios out every car in the country. We saw what he did on Notorious Thugs,” said another fan.
Just recently, an AI-generated collab song by Drake and The Weeknd called “Heart On My Sleeve” went viral on social media, which was taken down after a copyright strike by Universal Music Group.

Apart from others songs, Timbaland hasn’t released his own project in over a decade. The super producer last released an album in 2009, when he dropped the third studio effort “Shock Value II”, which featured Drake, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, and more.
Timbaland is also the co-founder of popular battle series Verzuz, which he launched with Swizz Beatz in March 2020. For their work on Verzuz, the duo appeared on the Time 100, Time’s annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
