Michael Jackson’s Xscape (Official Credits), ‘Blue Gangsta’ & ‘Do You Know Where Your Children Are’
Here are the two final Timbaland productions on Michael Jackson’s second posthumous album ‘Xscape’ with ‘Blue Gangsta’ and ‘Do You Know Where Your Children Are’. ‘Blue Gangsta’ goes all-in on the ‘Smooth Criminal/Scream’ persona, featuring Jackson’s trademark pained yelp. It all starts with strings swelling up as a multi-tracked MJ sings ‘Whatcha gonna do/ You ain’t the friend of mine/ Look what you’ve put me through/ Now that I’m the blue gangsta.’ Then shards of Timbaland‘s metallic production slice through, and MJ digs his heels in to wail about being wronged. The Original is produced by Dr. Freeze in 1998.
And ‘Do You Know Where Your Children Are’, a story of a 12-year-old girl who ends up being pimped out on Sunset Boulevard. “She wrote that she is tired of stepdaddy using her, saying that he’ll buy her things, while sexually abusing her,” Jackson sings. Timbaland uses squelchy beats and 80s synths with Michael's dominant lyrics and vocals. The Original tune is produced by Michael Jackson himself in 1987. Let us know what y’all think of the two tunes, and make sure to check out the Official Credits from the album below.

Michael Jackson - Slave To The Rhythm (Timbaland) (14’)
And ladies and gents, here is the fifth tune from Michael Jackson's 'Xscape' titled Slave To The Rhythm, the first tune we've heard from the MJ x Timbo project and is probably my favourite so far, this is a banger right here. I also have to say that I overplayed my Edited Version since it leaked, but gotdamn this is dope thanks to Sony Music Unlimited Stream for the leak, check out the tune below as well as the Original one from 1998 produced by Michael himself.

Michael Jackson - A Place With No Name (Stargate) (14’)
Here is the newest Michael Jackson tune titled ‘A Place With No Name’ thanks to the Sony Music Unlimited Stream. The tune is produced by the Norwegian record producing and songwriting team Tor Erik Hermansen and Mikkel Storleer Eriksen also known as Stargate. The tune really sounds like that classic Michael Jackson sound that we know him for, it’s pretty dope. I’ve also added the Original Version of the tune which has been recorded back in 1998 and produced by Dr. Freeze, check out both tunes below, Xscape is due May 13th.
