Hip Hop artist, Magoo (Melvin Barcliff), has signed a Worldwide Administration deal with The Royalty Network, Inc. Labeling Magoo (Melvin Barcliff), a mere sidekick to Timbaland be a mistake. The two close friends are instrumental players in bringing their ego that makes it work. Magoo thrives on staying out of the spotlight. The duo met in 1988 through a mutual friend, Larry, who told Chesapeake, VA native Magoo about Virginia Beach, VA native Timbaland's exploits as a DJ. "Our main concern is that we can leave this game still being cool with each other." When teamed with Magoo, the result is an agile rhyme tag team reinforced with eccentric, neck pain inducing beats. "Missy's last album is so hot to me," is how Timbaland begins the explanation of the latest Timbaland & Magoo album's title, Under Construction Part II. Magoo's flow continues to improve and he flexes it all over the new album, ‘Under Construction Part II’, particularly on the laid back head nodder "That $%#@ Ain't Gonna Work" and the dance hall flavored "Naughty Eye." With numerous Top 10 singles and albums to his credit, and a long standing relationship with teammate, Timbaland, Magoo is poised to continue his successful ways in the future.
