Although it’s been nearly a decade since Missy released her last album, The Cookbook, Miss Info revealed that new music from the rapper is reportedly on its way.
“We heard an unreleased remix from Diplo and Skrillex (aka Jack U) of their massive pop/dance hit ‘Take U There’ but this one featured two incredible verses from our girl Missy Elliott, not just spittin’ in high heeheeheeheehaw form, but also giving up a little buttery ‘Hot Boys’ melody too,” Miss Info wrote.
