Missy Elliott Drops 'ICONOLOGY,' Her First Original Project in 14 Years!!!

First Name Tom, Last Name Foolery… And I’m Everybody’s Uncle!

Especially this icon… Missy Elliott.

M-i-s-s is b-a-c-k.

With little more than a few hours notice, Missy Elliott dropped a new five-song EP, titled Iconology, on Friday morning. While she's released sporadic singles & collaborated with the likes of Ariana Grande, Pharrell & most recently Lizzo (on the scorcher "Tempo"), Iconology marks Elliott's first body of original work in 14 years, since 2005's The Cookbook. Stream the EP below via Apple Music & Spotify.

The surprise release features heart-pounding production from Timbaland, Wili Hendrix & Elliott herself. The project also comes with a fresh video to go with the lead single, "Throw It Back." In classic "Misdemeanor" fashion, the visual dips heavy into the pots of special effects, choreography & technicolor saturation. It also co-stars Teyana Taylor as a museum curator in the "Hall of Missy."

"Missy make up her own rules / Not many can do what I do / So many VMAs / I could live on the moon," Elliott rhymes in the song's second verse.

It's a boast that rings truer than ever as the iconic Virginia-bred star is set to be honored at Monday's MTV Video Music Awards as 2019's Video Vanguard Award recipient.
