Missy Elliott to release new "Iconology" EP tonight

It’s been 14 years since the release of Missy Elliott’s The Cookbook, and fans have been waiting for something new. Sure, she’s been featured in songs with Jack U, Fall Out Boy, and Busta Rhymes, but that’s not enough for some. Fortunately, the Grammy winner will be unveiling some new tunes at midnight.

The artist made the surprise announcement on social media today. Titled Iconology, the release is a throwback to “when music just felt good and made us want to dance”.
