in January 2003, the iconic rapper and producer, Missy Elliott, released her fourth studio album, "Under Construction". The album showcased Missy's signature style, blending innovative beats and catchy hooks with clever rhymes and an empowering message. Let's take a look back at the key highlights of this timeless album.
"Under Construction" featured some of Missy's most iconic singles, including "Work It" and "Gossip Folks". "Work It" became a massive hit, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning Missy her first Grammy Award for Best Female Rap Solo Performance. The song's memorable music video, which featured a cameo from a young Alyson Stoner, also became a cultural phenomenon and helped to solidify Missy's place as one of the most innovative and influential artists in hip hop.
But "Under Construction" was more than just a collection of hit singles - it was a deeply personal and empowering album that showcased Missy's growth as an artist and a woman. The album's opening track, "Go to the Floor," set the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious beat and empowering lyrics. Other standout tracks included "Back in the Day" and "Funky Fresh Dressed," which celebrated Missy's roots in hip hop and showcased her unique style and flow.
The album's artwork, which featured a playful cartoon version of Missy, perfectly captured the album's fun and creative vibe.
