Read between the lines

For those who enjoy the credits like we do here are a couple of tracks to take note of:

Chris Cornell "Ground Zero" and "Watch Out"
Written by Jim Beanz
Produced by Timbaland and JRoc

New Kids On The Block from their album The Block in stores today!!
Written by James Fauntleroy
Produced by Timbaland and JRoc

Keri Hilson "Get It Girl"
Written by Keri Hilson
Produced by Timbaland and Danja

Who is JRoc? A good question that until recently I wasn't entirely clear on either. JRoc or Jereome Harmon as you will see him listed in the credits is yet another producer working very closely with Timbaland. The confusion was over if JRoc was part of Royal Court or not. He's not listed in the credits for Omarion's "Icebox" (rather it's King and John Spivery) but JRoc is listed as a producer for Bobby Valentino's "Anonymous" (Spivery is not). So is he a 3rd member of Royal Court? Nope, rather he is a solo producer and is definitely making a name for himself as he worked extensively with Timbo on Chris Cornell's project and many more current productions.

Who else was surprised to see Timbaland AND Danja's name for producers on Keri's "Get It Girl"? You'd think after the video of just Timbo and Keri in the Verizon bus that they would be the only ones part of the track but looks like Danja came in before or after and added his touch to it.

Big thanks to Tom of The Keepers for the info.

    J, you gonna put JRoc's name up on the "Labels" list? Give an up and coming some shine.

    I hope you don't tread V Broski like that. LOL

  3. I'd seen Jerome Harmon's name on the Ashlee Simpson album credits... and I figured he was the dude playing the guitar (b/c Timbo can't LOL and the Royal Court never did)

    Now i have to listen to "Get It Girl" again, just to hear where Danja made his mark.

  6. "You'd think after the video of just Timbo and Keri in the Verizon bus that they would be the only ones part of the track but looks like Danja came in before or after and added his touch to it."

    Not necessarily. We saw Tim, Justin Timberlake and Madonna ont he Veriozon bus 'working' on "4 minutes" - but we all know that Danja had a hand in producing it.

    @ Edwin
    The male vocalist on Keri's "Do it" is Tank, not Jim Beanz.

    @ Frederick
    I think it might be the break section where Jim does his vocal thing. There's a bit of synth work and string work which sounds like it could be Danja. Tim usually ain't that intricate when it comes to shit like that. *lol*

    And *LMAO* @ "I figured he was the dude playing the guitar (b/c Timbo can't LOL)". But he's credited as doing the guitars on Nelly Furtado's "Afraid". When I saw that I thought "That has to be lies!" because as you pointed out, Tim can't play a guitar.

    There could be a finalized version which sounds like it has more of Danja's mark on it, because the leaked version sounded mad incomplete to me.

  8. when i said Tim can't I meant all he does is the same "Afraid"/"I Think She Knows" type stuff.

    I'll be damned if Tim played the guitar on "Watch Out" or "Murder"
