Timbaland Applauds 4batzz’s Viral Hit “Date @ 8” and Calls for Drake Remix

Timbaland, known for sharing his reactions to new songs and artists on Instagram through his Timbaland Re-Ax series, recently turned his attention to 4batzz and his viral track “Date @ 8.” The Dallas singer and rapper gained significant attention, especially after a live performance of the song went viral on YouTube, amassing over a million views in less than a month. 4batzz’s distinctive high-pitched singing has sparked discussions among rap enthusiasts.

In the Timbaland Re-Ax video, the renowned producer expressed high praise for 4batzz’s work, declaring that the city has a gem in the making. As he watched the performance, Timbaland even went so far as to recommend a potential collaborator for a remix of the song, suggesting Drake. Given Drake’s penchant for emotionally resonant tracks, Timbaland’s recommendation aligns with the vibe of “Date @ 8.”

While Timbaland was quick to commend the rising artist and propose a remix with Drake, reactions from fans in the comments section varied. Some disagreed with Timbaland’s take, particularly expressing concerns about the vocals. One comment likened 4batzz’s voice to that of a teenage female, while others made humorous remarks about the singer resembling a Brent Faiyaz clone.

It’s worth noting that Timbaland’s recent comments on social media generated controversy when he weighed in on Justin Timberlake amidst the drama surrounding Britney Spears’ memoir release. The producer’s choice of words, particularly suggesting Timberlake should “muzzle” Britney, drew criticism, especially in light of the revelations in Spears’ memoir.

As fans continue to share their opinions on 4batzz’s “Date @ 8” and Timbaland’s call for a Drake remix, the diverse reactions underscore the subjective nature of musical preferences within the hip-hop community.
