Mary J. Blige - "Skycap" (prod. by Timbaland)


Wow, so for how long does the world already wait for this song? Since late 2007. A looong time!!
Check it out:

Mary J. Blige - "Skycap" (prod. by Timbaland/written by The Clutch):


Originally, this track was made for her album "Growing Pains", which was released December 18th.
Two years later, she starts working on another album. It is called "Stronger" and will be released on November 23rd. So, I guess that means that we will be able to hear "Skycap" on her next album, right? Or SV2? But I highly doubt that because it doesn't really fit to the style of SV2.
Or plain and simple, it leaked very late, just like some other unreleased tracks leak a few years after they are produced...

What do you think?


Oh, and by the way, some extra news for you. I'm sure you remember the track "Stronger" by Davion Farris (prod. by Hannon Lane). Well, this track was meant for Mary J. Blige and there also exists a version of it with Mary.
Props to Venture for finding that out! ;)

I hope you're joking Doups cause this is dope! Quick question, is Tyrone Biggums an A&R at Geffen cause whoever A&R'd Growing Pains was on crack to leave this out. Better than 50% of what was on there...namely that joint with Luda on it.

^ Agreed!! :P

A really cool and smooth track.
And not a typical Timbo track we are used to hear from him. This song doesn't scream "HEY, I'M A TIMBO BEAT" like a lot of his other tracks in my opinion. lol

woah..i like it..me love timbo/clutch work !!!

Doups said...

alright fellows.. after a few extra plays with my BOSEs on, I have to admit that this track is actually pretty tight.. the beat is deep enough to match the lyrics.. now.. can anyone get rid of my previous trash? :b

Black Arrow said...

aight, took care of it Doups. ;)

Oo this is pretty hot but i can see why it was left off of her growing pains album...it has a different vibe to it then the other tracks on that album.

Hope Tim and Mary work together again.

This is the Timbo that I used to love. Classic Timbo beat. I guess this track doesnt fit the "theme" for Growing Pains.

This is a lovely track. Very different to his usual stuff. Hardly a "classic timbo beat" in my opinion, but I still love it. Going straight to my ipod haha.

I love this record y'all are doing a good job finding songs maybe you could find the track tim did for t.i. that was described in EW.com

epic said...

this track was from BMF i think, i don't believe they were first to get the leak


btw TI track didn't have a name, so not much to search for

miguel said...

Boog thinks that Jroc was involved maybe but was tim working with him in 07 I don't recall it.
