Missy Elliott Performs Live

Missy Elliott Performs Live — Misdemeanor in the house! Missy Elliott has solidified her spot as a true hip-hop icon and with good reason. She embarked on her music career with all-female R&B group Sista in the early-mid 1990s and later became a member of the Swing Mob collective. But — it’s her solo career that really put her on the map. Missy launched her solo career on July 15, 1997 with her debut album Supa Dupa Fly, which spawned the top 20 single “Sock It 2 Me”. She went on to release a number of chart-topping smash hits including “Work It,” “Lose Control,” and “Get Ur Freak On.” On June 13, 2019, Elliott became the first female rapper inducted to the songwriters hall of fame and the same year, she received an honorary Doctor of Music degree from Berklee College of Music.
