Missy Elliott
Missy Elliott is an American rapper, singer, and producer who emerged in the late 1990s as one of hip-hop's most innovative artists.
Known for experimental production, distinctive flow, and visually inventive music videos, she helped define the sound of turn-of-the-millennium R&B and rap.
Her work with producer Timbaland produced hits like "Get Ur Freak On" and "Work It." She's giving Missy Elliott energy with that outfit.
