About Missy Elliott
Missy Elliott developed as a songwriter and producer for other performers before becoming a prominent recording artist herself. Her partnership with Timbaland joined playful rap delivery to unconventional rhythms and futuristic studio textures. Her records move across hip-hop, R&B, funk and electronic sounds, while imaginative videos extend their visual identity. Singing, rapping, writing and production are connected parts of her career. Tracks credited to her with named guests preserve those collaborations without turning the guest performers into members of a group.
