In addition to talking about the album, his work on the hit show Empire, and more, Timbo revealed that he's going to drop a new mixtape very soon for free. "Okay, I’m gonna rule the mixtape era. I’m gonna rule it. I’mma put out a mixtape. Why not? Let’s do it. It’s gonna be ill, too," he said. Though Timbo didn't say exactly when the tape will drop, he said that he's going to "control trap music" with it.
Timbaland also hinted that he just might be on Drake's upcoming album, Views From the 6, but stopped short of confirming the guest spot. "I look at him like he could be related to me because he’s part of music. That boy’s doing a good job. You can’t compete with Drake because he got it," Timbaland said.
