Justin and Missy Elliot to co-write "This World Is Ours"
Timbaland To Lead 'World' Charity Remake
Timbaland plans to revisit the USA For Africa charity project "We Are the World" to raise funds for worldwide HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention programs. The hip-hop artist/producer confirmed the plans Monday night (Oct. 27) at the second annual YouthAIDS Gala in New York.
Justin Timberlake and Missy Elliott will co-write the new version, which will be titled "The World Is Ours." Like the original, which involved an all-star roster of more than 40 vocalists, a cast of contemporary artists is being recruited for the project.
Due in spring 2004, "The World Is Ours" is being made with the blessing of Quincy Jones, who produced the original. Beat Club Records will release the single, which will be distributed by Interscope. Proceeds will benefit YouthAIDS and Jones' Listen Up Foundation.
A "The World Is Ours" video will premiere on VH1, the official media partner for the project, and MTV. A VH1 special about the recording of the song is also planned and an accompanying DVD will be produced by QD3, Jones' son.

Wow! If Justin's co-writing this with Missy, with Timbaland producing it, and 40+ other singers/vocalists this could be rather cool. Personally, I'm looking forward to the DVD about the recording. It's bound to have lots of good footage!
And I betcha that the rest of *NSYNC'll sing on the song, too!
