Timbo always knew he had something unique, so most of the production either stayed in-house - Aaliyah, Missy, Ginuwine, R&B trio Playa - or ended up on his own projects, like his debut joint album alongside Magoo.

With the success of One in a Million during the 96-97 year, everyone wanted that Timbaland sound. Timbaland & Magoo, Welcome to Our World (1997) 20+ years later and the album’s title still rings true. One In a Million was where Aaliyah really formed a sound for herself, with props to Timbaland and Missy Elliott for mixing in that futuristic vibe with the mid-90s hip-hop soul that already existed on the other half of the project.

You can’t even discuss ’90s R&B without mentioning this album, yet it’s nowhere to be found on any streaming platforms or as physical copies.
