VA Beach Honors Beat Godfather: “Timbaland Way” Set To Make History

Virginia Beach is about to turn all the way up this fall. From October 17–19, 2025, the 757 will be ground zero for one of the biggest hometown celebrations hip-hop has seen in a minute: the unveiling of Timbaland Way, a three-day festival-style tribute to one of the most innovative producers in music history.

For those who don’t know (and really, you should), Timbaland—born Timothy Zachery Mosley—isn’t just a producer. He’s a sound architect who flipped hip-hop, R&B, and pop on their heads with futuristic drums, chopped samples, and rhythms nobody had ever heard before. From Missy Elliott and Aaliyah to Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, and beyond, Timbo has supplied the world with beats that defined eras. Now, the city that raised him is giving him his flowers in a way only Virginia Beach can.
