Originally titled "Shock Value III," Timbaland's fourth solo album will find the rapper/producer "getting back to his roots but still keeping an international appeal," manager Marcus Spence says. The project is Timbaland's first album since 2009's "Shock Value II" and will feature appearances by frequent Timbaland ( @timbaland) collaborators Missy Elliott and Justin Timberlake as well as Benny Benassi. "[Timbaland] has a catalog of music that he's recorded already, [including] collaborations like 'Break Your Back,' featuring Missy Elliott and Dev, and 'Red Bone,' featuring [Timbaland's brother] Sebastian and Petey Pablo," Spence says. A single, "Pass at Me," appeared last October but has yet to chart.
