Tim & Bob Hits Just Won’t ‘Slow Down’

BMI presented hip-hop songwriting and production team Tim & Bob with Billboard plaques for their song "Slow Down," recorded and co-written by r&b crooner Bobby Valentino. The awards recognized the #1 song's success on Billboard's Hot 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and Hot R&B Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks charts. The sultry ballad also earned the duo a BMI Urban Award at the 2005 ceremony held in Miami this summer.

Gathered at the Ivy restaurant in Los Angeles are BMI's Malik Levy, songwriter/producers Bob Robinson and Tim Kelly, and BMI's Catherine Brewton
