Missy Elliott drops her sixth studio album, THE COOKBOOK, which follows the 2003 Gold selling album THIS IS NOT A TEST and confirms there is no doubt that she has become one of Hip Hop's cultural magnets. Hot off her success as a guest star and co-writer on Ciara's "1, 2 Step," the first single lifted off the album, LOSE CONTROL, features FatMan Scoop and R&B vixen Ciara. Stepping up to the producer’s plate, she hooks up with Ciara (who also sings and raps) and brings the hyper FatMan Scoop into the studio to contribute his rambunctious ad-libs. Production on the album comes courtesy of Missy Elliott herself and reads like a who’s who for the hottest beat makers around - with Timbaland, The Neptunes, Warryn Campbell and Craig Brockman to name a few.

Courageously willing to stake her reputation on every beat, every scorching R&B groove, on every one of her albums, she ups the ante time and time again. This album boasts a superb guest list including Pharrell Williams on The Neptunes (who produced ‘On & On’), Mary J Blige on the wonderfully honest, “My Struggles” and Tweet on the soul stirring “Gotta Move On”.

What makes her accomplishments truly amazing is that Missy Elliott, the superstar, is at the heart of it all, still just the shy girl from Portsmouth, VA - a survivor of a childhood of domestic violence. Yet the global phenomenon that is Missy Elliott cannot be outdone. Not content with selling well over 10 million albums worldwide, she continues to be the inspiration to musicians transcending all genres. Her amazing story begins and ends with the music. She would not have it any other way.
