Missy Elliott Trys UK Hip-Hop

Just a little heads up and shout out to the UK Hip-Hop artists. It looks like Missy’s new album ‘Block Party’, set to be released at the end of year is going to have a little bit of that UK sound.

Currently the finishing touches are being made to the album, with producers such as Timbaland, Souldiggaz, Danjahandz, Pharrell, T-Pain and Pointguard all on board. In a recent interview she said “This album is probably more musical and melodic than my previous ones,” she then continued to say “A lot of my albums are really hip-hop-driven, with tinges of other music genres. But this album is hip-hop, with a sort of U.K. hip-hop sound to it.”
