"It's been a while since I've been able to give the world some new music," Timbo said in a press release. "I've spent a lot of time working on this project and I am just looking forward to giving my fans some dope sounds to close out the year." Timbo also still has plans to release his Textbook Timbo album in 2016.

Timbaland joins a crowded release date that already includes Busta Rhymes' The Abstract Went on Vacation and Fabolous' The Young OG Project 2. . Fab's Xmas drop marks the fourth time in his esteemed career that he will release a project on the holiday.

The two projects will give Fab four for the year as he dropped Friday Night Freestyles in May and Summertime Shootout on Thanksgiving.
