"If I Get Caught," by R&B duo Dvsn has sparked a lot of conversation. The song is produced by the legendary Jermaine Dupri, and at least one of Dupri's contemporaries is taking notice. Timbaland hopped on social media to praise Dupri for the song's success and the dialogue it has sparked about the state of R&B.

“I wanna congratulate Dvsn and Jermaine … and Dvsn had a talk when I was at Missy’s party,” Timbaland said via an Instagram video. “And I gotta agree, it sat with me. I didn’t tell you this, but it sat with me Dvsn, you right. Your sound over what I do would be amazing, absolutely incredible.

“But let’s salute Jermaine, one of the pioneers of this shit. Standing on 10 toes and bringing that shit to life! That song right now got girls goin’ crazy! You can’t deny it, he got me inspired.”

“That’s what music’s ‘posed to do," Timbaland added. "He got me saying, ‘Tim, get back in your bag.’ And guess what, JD? Thank you.”
