For the past couple of years, many people have wondered what happened to Missy Elliott. The last time Missy released a solo album was 2005's The Cookbook. However, in 2008, Missy Elliott began promoting her next album, Block Party. But, for unknown reasons, the album was never released.

Missy Elliott soon stopped promoting her 2008 album and was again forgotten. Recently, it was revealed that Missy Elliott was actually going through a health crisis. Again preparing to put together a comeback run, Missy Elliott made an appearance on VH1's series, "Behind the Music."

Only days after appearing on "Behind the Music," Missy Elliott is back in the news. Working on new music, Missy Elliott decided to team up with old friends. During the 1990s, Missy rose to fame with her multiple collaborations with Timbaland. Going back to what worked, Missy Elliott recruited Timbaland for her new album.

Aside from Timbaland, Missy Elliott also has Pharrell providing production work for the new album.
