Missy Elliott drops surprise album

Hollywood: Missy Elliott took a page from Beyoncé’s book overnight by dropping a surprise five-track album called Iconology. It’s the rapper’s first album in 14 years, and she let everyone know about it at midnight with a tweet saying, “Let’s #ThrowItBack to a time when music just felt good and made us want to dance!” The album has already hit the top five on US iTunes. One of the songs, Throw It Back, also comes with a colorful dance-filled music video done in Elliott’s signature style. At the start, a young teenager find herself in the museum of Missy, but doesn’t know who “Missy Elliott” is.
