The album went Double Platinum. It was that year that he was also a major contributor (along with Missy Elliot) to Aaliyah's second album One In A Million, producing 9 of the 17 tracks. His input propelled the album to Double Platinum Status (same as her first album) thus further making his mark in the industry. He has gone on to produce for acts such as 702, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Playa, S.W.V., Missy Elliot, Destiny's Child, Bubba Sparxxx, Nelly Furtado, Justin Timberlake & others. He's had success as a solo artist as well. His second album Shock Value went Platinum & featured the smash hits The Way I Are & Apologize. Timbaland has 4 Grammy Awards, 13 Awards total to his credit.
