Melissa Arnette 'Missy' Elliott (born July 1, 1971) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer from Portsmouth, Virginia.

Frequent collaborator with producer Timbaland; known for blending Old School hip hop influences with inventive production and high-profile collaborations.

MarcoP gives Under Construction a glowing review, calling it Missy Elliott's best album to date and praising Timbaland's production. The review highlights the single "Work It" and several high-profile collaborations. Some R&B-leaning tracks are seen as weaker, but overall the album is celebrated as an ode to Old School hip hop.

For:Fans of hip hop, Old School hip hop, Timbaland production and early-2000s R&B/hip-hop listeners.

 From the very first seconds of the Intro, Missy puts her hands forward, anticipating that she's trying to make sense of her life after undergoing some dramatic events like the loss of friends (her Baby girl Aaliyah above all), the Twin Towers, etc.; therefore, there couldn't be a more indicative title than this, which best expresses the state of the album where she now sees the world from a more humble perspective, learning from the past to live a serene present and build a better future both for herself and for Hip Hop.
