From spaced-out debut single “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)” to booming bangers like the boisterous “WTF (Where They From),” producer/rapper Missy Elliott's catalog is packed with jams that sound like they've been beamed in from the future. Her nimble rhymes balance heady surrealism with winking wit, underpinned by electrifying beats that stir classic soul samples into next-generation electronics.
