Timbaland & Magoo represented a hip-hop pairing originating from Virginia, composed of Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley (born 1972) and Melvin "Magoo" Barcliff (1973–2023). Established in 1989, they secured a contract with Blackground Records, an imprint under Atlantic Records, and produced three albums: Welcome to Our World (1997), Indecent Proposal (2001), and Under Construction, Part II (2003). Magoo succumbed to a heart attack in 2023.

In August 2021, a collaboration between Blackground Records and Empire Distribution enabled the reissue of Timbaland & Magoo’s entire discography across CD, cassette, vinyl, digital download, and streaming services for the first time.

Magoo passed away on August 13, 2023, at the age of 50. His funeral took place on September 6, 2023, in Portsmouth, Virginia.
