Missy Elliott remixes Jack U (Diplo/Skrillex) single
- Share via
Just weeks after stealing the Super Bowl halftime show out from under Katy Perry, Missy Elliott is back on a record.
The beloved MC has been in and out of the spotlight in recent years after fighting Graves’ disease. But her reputation as a sonically inventive, hugely charismatic pop figure (and as lasciviously feminist songwriter) has only grown since her time away. She played alongside South Korean rapper G-Dragon at KCON a few years ago, and finally returned to stadium-sized stages at this year’s Super Bowl.
For all the fans clamoring for new music from her, we can now affirm that she has been in the studio -- but as a re-mixer, not a lead artist quite yet.
Yes, she does rap on the track, and we’re glad to have her rubbery, ecstatic rhyming back again -- no one has as much fun behind a mic as she does, and when paired with her technical talent and insouciant attitude, it’s a joy to hear.
Listen to the remix here, and keep your fingers crossed that it’s another sign of a new LP to come.
