Fans of the long-running television soap opera One Life to Live should get themselves ready for some hip-hop beats and flavor to infuse their drama, once record producer and rap artist Timbaland makes his appearance on the series. The songwriter and musician is set to guest star in an episode of the show, and will also perform one of his latest featured hits, "The Way I Are." TV aficionados can expect the worlds of hip-hop and soap to collide on October 9, when Timbaland is spotlighted with his minor acting role, together with several musical numbers to liven things up.
The songs he's set to perform are "Apologize" and "The Way I Are," which are tracks taken from his latest album release, titled Timbaland Presents Shock Value. Also collaborating with him on the album are fellow recording artists OneRepublic and Keri Hilson. For the One Life to Live episode, the plot revolves around a girl named Sara Roberts, who meets up with the character of Christine Vega. Roberts intends to apply for a job opening at the Capricorn club through Vega. When asked to voice his thoughts on working for the television series, Timbaland stated that it was a first time and a new experience for him, and that he hoped to enjoy being able to share his music.
However, the soap opera has already had prior experience in inviting along guest performers to have their tunes featured on the show. Other musical acts that have previously been presented on One Life to Live include Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blige, and Simply Red. During an interview with the website allhiphop.com, series executive producer Frank Valentini explained that he was also a big fan of Timbaland's music, so the rap artist was a natural choice to guest star on the show.
