Once again, Timbaland, is doing something that has never been done. He is about to make history with mobile phone provider Verizon Wireless momentarily. Timbaland, real name Tim Mosely, will be the first producer/artist to release a mobile, phone-only music album.

He just made this official after signing a groundbreaking contract with the U.S. based Verizon Wireless to release a song from this album every month. Presumably there will be at least twelve tracks. The songs will only be available to Verizon subscribers of the proprietary V Cast mobile service.

Among other things, Timbo promises the tracks will feature guest stars for Verizon listeners. As Timbaland explains, "Every place don't get a CD, but everybody has a mobile phone. Just producing a mobile album has never been done. I'm the first to ever do it."
