VIDEO: Watch Timberland, The Legendary Producer Behind Justin Timberlake, Missy Elliot & More Jump On The Afrobeats Train

The African music movement is on the rise, with nearly every mainstream artist jumping on the bandwagon as it begins to overshadow other genres worldwide. What makes Afrobeats unique is the simplicity and joy it brings to people on the dancefloor and around the globe.

Over the years, artists like Beyoncé, Chris Brown, and more recently, Usher, have embraced the takeover. With a continent as vast as Africa, don’t expect it to fizzle out anytime soon.

Recently, social media was set ablaze when users witnessed legendary music producer Timbaland jump on the genre. Timothy Zachery Mosley, known professionally as Timbaland, is an American record producer renowned for his innovative production work and distinctive “stuttering” rhythmic style.

Timbaland revolutionized the urban music scene in the USA with his two-step beats and irregular atmospheric music. Breaking through with classic albums by Missy Elliott, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, and his own duet albums with Magoo.

Just as he leapt between Hip Hop, RnB, and Pop, Timbaland has found a new platform to explore. The snippet below reveals that he is working on something in the Afrobeats genre. Take a listen and watch below.
