Timbaland will be in good company, considering that Roc Nation houses some huge names in music, including Rihanna, hitmaker Shea Taylor, Shakira, M.I.A. and many more. Negotiated within the deal, Timbaland will serve as an investment partner and member of the company’s board of directors. He is presently working on Justin Timberlake’s third studio album, The 20/20 Experience, his own project, Shock Value III, a follow up to 2009′s installment of the set and Keri Hilson’s upcoming third LP.
Good news for Timbaland and Jay. Sounds like this could be a good year music-wise.
