After what feels like years of being MIA in the music game, Grammy Award-winning Hip-Hop legend Missy Elliott is set to make a triumphant return and is taking her talents on the road with some other Hip-Hop heavyweights from the past.
On Monday (April 8), Live Nation and Missy Elliott announced that she, Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland would embark on a new tour this summer titled, Out Of This World – The Missy Elliott Experience. It will remind everyone what true creativity in Hip-Hop music sounded like back in the day. Among these artists are several classic albums, number one records and a gang of platinum plaques. For the OGs this tour will be something to truly experience.
Missy expressed her excitement, saying: “This is an incredible time in my life as I experience so many milestone 'firsts'. Being the FIRST female Hip Hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and now going on my FIRST tour. Fans have been asking me to tour forever, but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big and I had to do it with the family! So get ready to be OUT OF THIS WORLD with me, Busta Rhymes, Ciara and Timbaland! We can't wait to share this experience with fans!”
