Timbaland has a lot of respect for Meek Mill and Rick Ross and the superproducer believes their upcoming joint album is exactly what Hip Hop is missing.
Earlier this week, Timbo pulled up to 99 JAMZ in Miami, and while speaking on how he wants to see more artists from his generation drop albums, he set expectations sky-high for what the MMG collaborators are bringing to the table next month.

“Like I’ma tell you right now, the Meek and [Rick] Ross album,” he said. “That’s what we been missing. Ross giving you that Big Meech Ross. And that’s all we want, we don’t want Ross to sound like Uzi Vert. We don’t hear him on those tracks. We want to hear Ross today. We want to hear that.
“When I hear their album and it’s a masterpiece, just be good at what you good at. Be great at what you great at. Don’t change for nobody. That album says a lot to me because Meek is being Meek whether you like it or not.”

Timbaland went as far as calling Meek and Rozay’s upcoming Too Good To Be True a “classic.”
“It’s not dated, it sounds current, it sounds fresh and it sounds like a classic,” Timbo testified. “And you could tell the space they’re in. I don’t even have to talk to them or ask what space they’re in, you could hear it through the music.”
Rick Ross and Meek Mill’s Too Good To Be True is slated to arrive on streaming services on November 10.
On Friday (October 20), the MMG duo raised the stakes with “Lyrical Eazy,” another fiery single that follows last month’s “Shaq & Kobe” track.
With both artists ditching the major label system in favor of the independent route, Too Good To Be True will be released through gamma., the innovative music company launched by former Apple Music executive Larry Jackson earlier this year.
“We knocked it out quick,” Ross said of the project in a recent interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden. “This just was a quick vibe. Maybe two and a half months.”

“When me and Rozay got in the studio, it was all about real energy, organic motivation,” Meek added. “This Rozay I’m rapping next to too. This Rozay, Top 5 dead or alive right now. I don’t know who want to argue with that?”
