The hit TV show Empire is breaking records left and right, from streaming to viewership to ratings. The show follows the saga of fictional hip-hop record label Empire and the family who runs it.
But the best story to come out of Empire is its original music, produced by none other than real-life hip-hop mogul Timbaland. The TV show’s creator and executive producer Lee Daniels, of The Butler and Precious fame, tapped Timbaland to be music director at his kids’ urging.
