Timbaland - "Show Dat Bra" (feat. Bran'Nu & Attitude)

Timbaland - "Show Dat Bra" (feat. Bran'Nu & Attitude) [Prod. by Timbaland]

Well here is a surprise track from Timbo featuring Brandy and Attitude. Notice how similar in composition to "Whenever You Like", where Timbo also makes use of Brandy's beautiful voice for the backing of the track. Brandy also makes an appearance with her rapper alter-ego 'Bran'Nu'.

We are uncertain if this will appear on Timbo's upcoming album Shock Value III expected to be released in the third quarter of this year.

Should it appear on SV3? Tell us what you think! 

Props to timnmagoo3!

Timbaland feat. Bran' Nu - "Whenever You Like" [Clip]

Well, it's not really a song-clip, it is more a video of Brandy in the car where you can hear the song being played in the background.
This song is called "Whenever You Like" by Timbaland featuring Bran' Nu.
Check out the video below:



Where is that song from? What was it made for?
Well, Timbaland already told us back in October 2009!
"Whenever You Like" feat. Bran' Nu was on Timbo's list of Shock Value II tracks he revealed on the Ryan Seacrest show!

So, knowing that it didn't make the cut on SVII, will it be on Brandy's next album? Or will we ever be able to hear the full track?
Let's wait and see...

Timbaland at the Ed Lover Show

Check out this 3 part interview with Timbaland at the Ed Lover Show.
Really, watch all of it! Some very interesting details.

• Interview part I

One the first part, it's mostly about the relationship between Jay-Z and Timbo. And he's finally making a statement about the leaking of the Blueprint 3 records!
Listen at around 4:30 min. One of those tracks Tim did, but didn't know that he could work with Jay-Z on that, is "Venus Vs. Mars". The reference track is by a female singer!
Also hear Timbo saying at 05:00 min that he always has Jay-Z in mind when he makes a beat? Even would take it away from other artists (e.g. Missy) to give it to Jay?? Damn!! So much for that other statement of him "Of course I'm not giving Jay my best material".
And the "Big Pimpin'" beat, one of Jay-Z's biggest hits, was originally meant for Timbo & Magoo! Wow!
At the end of this part Timbo talks about the amazing chemistry between him and Justin Timberlake, even being better than the chemistry between him and Jay!!

• Interview part II
• Interview part III
  

Timbaland producing the next album of Brandy aka Bran' Nu, which was kinda obvious knowing that he thinks about signing her to MMG (as we told you)!! And it's gonna be, as Timbo states, half rap and half singing!
Artists Timbo wants to work with: Lady GaGa (they wanted to work together on SV2, but somehow it didn't work out), Kings Of Leon (also meant for SV2), Kanye West.
Timbo also says that there's gonna be a re-package of Shock Value 2. So let's see if these collaborations gonna work out...
Now some R&B talk. Timbo saying: "There is no R&B!" R. Kelly was Timbaland's last hope for R&B!
At the end of part II and in part III of the interview Timbo talks about his music in general and how it changed...

Brandy Speaks Bran'Nu

Brandy speaks to MTV about her alter-ego 'Bran'Nu'.

Timbaland said he wants the next Brandy album to be half singing, half rapping. The super-producer introduces the veteran song bird as an MC named "Bran' Nu" on Shock Value II.

"She can rap," he promised. "She's got the swagger, the tone — ain't nothing I can say about it."

Sitting in the studio in Miami before Tim's album-release party, Brandy couldn't hide how ecstatic she was to enter the next phase in her career.

"What I'm doing on the album is a little bit different than what everybody knows me for," she said. "I'm rapping on the album. Timbaland endorsed that. He changed my name to Bran' Nu. He really gave me a shot to be different and be versatile. I can't thank him enough for that. This is a wonderful opportunity. I'm blessed to be here."

Brandy doesn't need a ghostwriter either — she authored her own bars for the songs "Meet in the Middle" and "The Symphony."

"I had a blast," she said. "I wrote my own verses. Anything I did, I wrote myself. It was a great experience. I got a chance to be another part of myself. He even allowed me to mix in the singing with the rapping. It feels good. It feels like this is what I'm supposed to do. This is a reinvention for me. I'm excited about it."

Brandy said she used to just spit for fun, but when Tim saw footage of her rapping on the Internet, he wanted to try her out in the studio.

"I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that," she said. "Timbaland saw the video, 'cause I posted it on my YouTube. He called me. He was like, 'Yo, you have to do this. You have to come to the studio. Let's see how you sound.' So I went to the studio, and we did a smash. It was incredible. All I could think about was, 'I just wanna blow him away. I wanna make him proud, because I really wanna sign with Timbaland and spend the rest of my career making music with Tim.' It was an interesting process. Like I said, I'm excited. It's different from anything I've ever done. To be right by his side is amazing."

Timbaland Presents: Shock Value II dropped Tuesday. The album features appearances by Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake and others. Timbo's new single, "Say Something," has a guest appearance from another artist who can rap and sing: Drake.
