“I am music,” Timbaland says after revealing his new stomping ground of music. The well known hip-hop and R&B producer makes and appearance on TMZ Live! to talk country music. It’s no secret that Timbaland and Justin Timberlake are best buds, and since JT performed at the Country Music Awards with Chris Stapleton, TMZ hosts wanted to know if Timbo was going to walk the path of country as well.

“It’s only right that we tap into what we [were] raised in,” Timbaland says of the two men born in Tennessee and Virginia. “We were raised in the country.”
