Grammy-nominated producer Timbaland is preparing to unveil his second solo album, "Timbaland Presents Shock Value" in March 2007.

"Shock Value" boasts a genre-bending lineup of guest appearances that range from rap stars Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg to rock acts The Hives and Fall Out Boy, while also welcoming both the legendary Elton John on piano as well as singers M.I.A. and Keri Hilson - who, like Nelly Furtado, is signed to Timbaland's Mosely Music Group through a joint venture with Interscope.

"My mission is to blow up the boundaries and tear down the limits," Timbaland said via statement. "I'm taking my music outside of the box. I'm not getting away from what I'm known for; I'm just going to a place where it's all about the music, not about the labels on the music. That's why I call it "Shock Value"--from the artists to the production, it will shock the system."

"Shock Value" arrives on the heels of Timbaland's Grammy-nominated collaboration with Justin Timberlake on the multi-platinum "FutureSex/LoveSounds". Timbaland will also perform as a guest on Timberlake's 2007 "FutureSex/LoveShow World Tour," Timbaland's first time touring in years and first ever world tour where he will offer audiences a chance to hear beats and original music from "Shock Value".

"Timbaland Presents Shock Value" is set for release on March 27, 2007 via Mosley Music Group/Blackground/Interscope.
