Block Party – Missy Elliott’s Soon To Be Released CD
Missy Elliott, queen of hip-hop, is scheduled to release her newest CD, Block Party, sometime in August or September. The release has continued to be postponed since it’s original release date in December 2007. This will be the first release for Missy Elliot over the last four years, the longest gap in her career.
Missy said, during an interview with Billboard, that she chose Block Party as the name since the album is fulled with many dance tracks and it is a CD that can be listened to in the streets. She also states that she feels this album is more harmonious then the previous ones as she has combined her usual style of hip-hop with the UK hip-hop melodies.
Block Party also features productions from well known artists such as Timbaland, Missy’s longtime friend and collaborator, T-Pain, Pharrell, Point Guard, Danja, The Arkitects, Soul Diggaz, Danny!, The Neptunes, and others.
Block Party has new sounds and upbeat tracks. The song Ching a Ling, that was released in January 2008, on the Step Up 2:The Streets soundtrack will be featured on this album. Another song from the Step Up 2 soundtrack, Shake Your Pom Pom, will also appear on Missy’s new CD and, Best Best, released on June 13, 2008, is the albums first single. Some of the other titles include Hip-Hop Don’t Die, Milk & Cookies, Like When You Play the Music, Act a Fool, Fire, Love, All For You, and Put It On You.
On June 6th 2009, prior to the Block Party CD release, Put It On You is scheduled to come out.
