Timbaland, Extreme Music

Extreme Music has signed with producers Timbaland and Mike “Daddy” Evans to co-executive produce a series of Urban Pop songs with a lineup of new talent from Timbaland Productions.

“I’m looking forward to unleashing the Timbaland Productions crew on this exciting new project,” Timbaland said. “The songs we’re producing for Extreme are gonna blow people’s minds.”

Timbaland and Evans will produce 75 new tracks over the next year for the hottest up-and-coming talent from Timbaland Productions. The first of the releases will be delivered during summertime.

Russell Emanuel, CEO and President of Extreme Music, said, “Extreme is renowned for playing boundary bustin’ trump cards and this is no exception. Our urban music offering is already second to none with Snoop, Quincy, and Rodney Jerkins – adding these guys means we now have all the bases loaded.”

Evans added, “I’m always looking for new ways to break boundaries and stay on top of changes in the industry, both creatively and from a business perspective. This partnership with Extreme gives us a great new avenue to introduce the up-and-coming, innovative talent we’re nurturing here at Timbaland Productions.”

Timbaland has been producing and performing since the mid-1990s, creating career-defining hits for artists like Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Ludacris, Jay-Z and many more. Perhaps his most well-known collaboration is 2007’s “SexyBack,” which he performed with Justin Timberlake.

Evans has worked with LL Cool J, Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, and Miley Cyrus, just to name a few.

LeAnn Rimes Opens Up About Love Affair

Their love affair began over two years ago and, of course, it is still a topic that LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are constantly faced with.

In an upcoming show called ?Backstory: LeAnn Rimes,? which airs this Sunday, April 24 on the Great American Country channel, the ?Can?t Fight the Moonlight? singer opens up about the matter.

"I know I didn't do it the right way," Rimes said of having an affair with Cibrian while she was still wed to Dean Sheremet and he was to Brandi Glanville.

Citing a distant relationship with her parents at a young age because of her stardom, LeAnn continued, "I didn't have the tools to know how to do it the right way, how to let go the right way," she explained. "I'd never been taught that."

The story is on at 8pm ET.

[ Mental Health ] Open Question : Why is everything bad happening to me?

My dad is being an @sshole, he always makes me feel like a worthless piece of junk everytime I'm around him. I need to get money so I can buy my big brother something amazing for his birthday, since he always buys me expensive things. I Asked my favourite teacher if I could babysit his daughter, but he said he doesn't usually let his students babysit for him. but he did say he'd keep me in mind (this actually crushed me. I'm not an assertive person, and when I finally got the guts to ask, he said no) All my friends are leaving for Easter break, and I'm stuck at home, with no one to talk to, no one to hang out with (as usual.) I've had mono for 2 months so far. I wanted to be on the badminton team, soccer team, and football team. But I'm not allowed to do anything. I didn't even get to play badminton in gym class. I love to play sports. But I can't. Now this total self centered @ss keeps bragging that shes on the badminton, U16 soccer team (because he daddy's the coach), and on the football team. Ever since I've gotten mono, I can't play my trumpet the same. I have a talent in music that I was born with, but now I can barely play the trumpet. I also have the talent of art, but now I can't draw the same as I did and I keep messing up. So Many things are going wrong right now and i don't know why I'm so upset, but all I want to do is burst out and cry. These things may not seem like much, but they're extremely important to me. Mono is ruining my life. I got it because my "friend" didn't tell me she had it a month back and I drank the rest of her pop. How do I stop being so depressed. Right now I'm basically forcing myself not to cut again.
