Biography
Produced by SupaDupaFly, long-time friend and collaborator, Timbaland, ?Lose Control? digs deep into the vaults of Detroit techno and samples Juan Atkin?s cybotron electro classic, ?Clear?. The result? ? A perfect b-boy/fly girl, get your freak on the dance-floor groove. Having completely taken over the clubs with its mind-blowing beats, ?Lose Control? is heating up the airwaves. Already enjoying massive support from radio, including C-listing at Radio One and at Kiss FM, B-Listing at Choice FM and A-listing at Radio 1Xtra to name a few. In addition to this, it was immediately added to XFM as tune of the week. Missy Elliott drops her sixth studio album, THE COOKBOOK, which follows the 2003 UK Gold Certified, THIS IS NOT A TEST album on July 4th. There is no doubt that she has become one of Hip Hop's cultural magnets. The forthcoming LP boasts a superb guest list including Pharrell Williams on the Neptunes produced ?On & On?, Mary J Blige on the wonderfully honest,?My Struggles? and Tweet on the soul stirring ?Gotta Move On?. Production comes courtesy of Missy Elliott herself and reads like a who is who for the hottest, dopest beat makers around ? with Timbaland, The Neptunes, Warryn Campbell and Craig Brockman included. Courageously willing to stake her reputation on every beat, every scorching R&B groove, on every one of her albums, she ups the ante time and time again. From her very first video in 1997 for ?The Rain? on SUPA DUPA FLY showcasing a fearless Missy greeting the world in a hefty bag to the inclusion of a then unknown rapper called Eminem on her 1999 DA REAL WORLD set, Missy continues to set the template. What makes her accomplishments truly amazing is that Missy Elliott the superstar is at the heart of it all, still just the shy girl from Portsmouth, VA - a survivor of a childhood of domestic violence. Yet the global phenomenon that is Missy Elliott cannot be outdone. Not content with selling well over 10 million albums worldwide, she continues to be the inspiration to musicians transcending all genres. And with her new clothing line, RESPECT ME, a result of her collaboration with Adidas, she is the definition of ?cool?. Her amazing story begins and ends with the music. And she would not have it any other way.
