Biography

Timbaland & Magoo left Swing Mob after 1995 and became a performing duo in their own right. Signing with Blackground Records (home of Aaliyah, one of Timbaland's main collaborators), Timbaland & Magoo went on to release a number of albums, which were not a successful as the singles that anchored them. Singles such as "Up Jumps the Boogie ", "Clock Strickes " (which samples the Knight Rider theme), "Here We Come" (which samples the 1960s Spider-Man theme), "Drop", "All Y'all", and "Cop That Disc" have all proved successful, while the albums that they appeared on have generally underperformed. Their first LP "Welcome To Our World" sold over 1 Million copies.

Magoo is distiguished by his unusual, yet natural, high-pitched voice, which many hip-hop fans say sounds like Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest.
