Tim's Bio: Life from da Bassment is a 1998 album released by Blackground Records. Though nominally the debut solo album by R&B/hip-hop producer Timbaland, the LP is technically a compilation of tracks produced by Timbaland and often – though not strictly – featuring his vocals. A litany of guest stars appear on Tim's Bio, from Timbaland's "Swing Mob" partners Magoo, Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott, Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Playa, and Skillz, to outside performers Nas, Jay-Z, Twista and others. Tim's Bio notably marks the on-record debut of Ludacris on "Phat Rabbit", later included on his debut LP Back for the First Time (2000).
There is a music video of "Lobster & Scrimp" featuring Jay-Z. The video premiered on January 4, 1999, was shot in Las Vegas, Nevada and directed by Timbaland himself (credited as real name, Tim Mosley).
All tracks Produced by Timbaland with the help of Barry & Jomo Hankerson.
