Missy Elliott debuted a brand new song during her recent set at this past weekend’s Lovers & Friends festival — check out footage from her set below.
On Sunday (May 7), Missy shared a clip from her headline performance which took place on Saturday (May 6) in Las Vegas. In it she revealed a peek at a new track featuring bounce artist Ha Sizzle who could be seen performing an energetic verse in a black-and-white themed music video.

“I slipped on a new missy single ft @hasizzleking, coming soon,” she wrote in the caption. The Virginia native then followed up with another tweet where she revealed that the single would be called “The Greatest.”
HipHopDX has confirmed the track was produced by Wili Hendrix and ReemixLoops, with extra input from Michael Aristotle.

The track, which would be her first solo single since 2020’s “Why I Still Love You” from her Iconology EP, comes shortly after she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the first time as a female rapper.
Missy celebrated the accolade with friends, family, and fellow artists via social media. In a Instagram post last week, Missy noted how this moment was not only “huge” for her but for all her “sisters in Hip Hop.”
“I want to say this is HUGE not for just me but all my Sisters in HIPHOP this door is now OPEN to showcase the hard work that many of us WOMEN contribute to MUSIC,” she wrote in the post. “I have cried all day because I am GRATEFUL thank you @rockhall & all on the committee & Supafriends.”
Other 2023 inductees include DJ Kool Herc, Chaka Khan, TV host Don Cornelius, and more, all of whom she thanked for their “hard work and impact on music.”

Then, in a separate tweet, Missy Elliott thanked God for her recent induction and stated that her decades of diligent work speaks for itself despite her feeling a bit “down” and after seeing trolls online refer to her as “washed up.”
