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 2000s hip-hop star
Ludacris on "Phat Rabbit", later included on his debut LP
Back for the First Time (2000).
