Acclaimed hip-hop producer Tim "Timbaland" Mosely began honing his craft at age 19 under the tutelage of Jodeci soundman DeVante Swing. Eventually he hooked up with Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, Playa, Ginuwine and Magoo, forming the hip-hop production crew, Da Bassment. In 1996, the collective produced Ready for the World's hit track "Love You Down," which appeared on the Nutty Professor soundtrack.

Timbaland worked prolifically from 1996 to 1998, with credits including Ginuwine (The Bachelor), Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott (Supa Dupa Fly), Aaliyah ("Are You That Somebody?") and

More Timbaland and Magoo (Welcome to Our World). All told, Timbaland's productions have sold more than 10 million copies.

In 1998, Timbaland moved from behind the board to behind the mic for his solo debut, Tim's Bio: From the Motion Picture: Life From the Bassment. Described as the "soundtrack to one man's life," the album features appearances by NAS, Jay-Z, Mad Skillz, Aaliyah, Twista and old friends Elliott, Ginuwine and Magoo. It was released in November 1998 on the Atlantic imprint Blackground.
