Missy Elliott To Release 'Iconology' Project
Fourteen years since her last album, Missy Elliott is giving fans new music. Tonight, the hip-hop trailblazer will release her Iconology project, a collection of feel-good dance tracks.
Taking to Twitter, she made the big announcement. “This year has been a tremendous year for me…I am humbled and grateful. THANK YOU for allowing me to smell the roses,” tweeted Missy. “You, my fans, and God are the reason I am here and have celebrated every milestone with me! So, I have a SURPRISE for you…”
Missy will receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2019 MTV VMAs on Monday and also take the stage for her first performance in 16 years. To celebrate, MTV will launch the Museum of Missy Elliott, an interactive experience honouring Missy and the creative visionaries behind some of her most iconic music videos.
In June, Missy also became the first female rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
