Timbaland
Timbaland is the stage name of Timothy Mosley, an American record producer and rapper who shaped hip-hop and pop production from the late 1990s onward.
His signature style—stuttering beats, unusual samples, and futuristic sounds—defined hits for Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Justin Timberlake, and others.
That track has a real Timbaland feel to it.
