Music veteran Missy Elliott is slowly piecing back her hip-hop comeback by appearing on a remix to musician Jack U's "Take U There."
The unexpected gem premiered online Wednesday (February 18) evening.
After making a massive comeback during Katy Perry’s Super Bowl halftime show, Missy Elliott returns with her first new music since the record-setting performance. The hip-hop trailblazer steals the spotlight again on her explosive remix to Jack Ü aka Diplo and Skrillex’s dance hit “Take Ü There” featuring Kiesza. (Rap-Up)

Earlier this month, Elliott joined pop diva Katy Perry on-stage and performed her early 2000’s hit “Get Ur Freak On” at Super Bowl XLIX.
When Perry launched into “Teenage Dream,” dancing beach balls, surfboards, sharks and even palm trees joined her on stage. Then Missy Elliott had a surprise cameo and sang, “Get Ur Freak on” Perry finished the show with an explosive rendition of “Firework” and it was explosive — with plenty of fireworks taking flight outside the stadium.

Last summer, Tim revealed he was working alongside Elliott for her follow-up to 2005’s The Cookbook.
“It’s coming,” the rapper’s longtime producer and songwriting partner tells Rolling Stone. “It’s on her. She got the first single, it’s just a matter of when she wants to do it. We got the hollow-tip bullet in the gun. We have the game-changer right there,” he says, making the sound of a gun firing. Asked what that bullet sounds like, Timbaland remains vague: “It’s something you ain’t never heard Missy do. It sounds today, but the future.” (Rolling Stone)
