*UPDATED* Missy Elliott Album Update

Missy Elliott recently previewed selected songs from her upcoming to-be-titled-by-the-fans seventh album, which is due in late May. The album will include production by Timbaland & Danjahandz, among others. In addition to her currently released tunes "Ching-A-Ling" & "Shake Your Pom Pom" (featured on the "Step Up 2" soundtrack), the disc will include the first single "Best, Best." Other confirmed tracks include "Hip Hop Don't Die," "Milk & Cookies," & "Like When You Play The Music," which is set to feature Jazmine Sullivan. The finished set should include 10 or 11 tracks.

I am anxious to hear what the fans came up with for Missy's album title. She is always so creative & original, so hopefully some of her listeners are just like her. Missy working with longtime partner Timbaland, as well as the hottest producer out there currently Danja, definitely increases my anticipation level for the project, especially if the previously released tracks (the latter a Timbaland production) are any indication of what to expect. I had to note that Missy will be working with Jazmine Sullivan because that girl is an amazing up-&-coming artist that has some material floating around that is definitely worth checking out. As for the number of songs to expect, it's a little disappointing, but I won't judge until I hear the tunes.

UPDATE: Rap-Up recently previewed Missy's new album as well. They revealed 4 new song titles: "Act A Fool," "All For You," "Love" (produced by Timbaland), & "Please Don't Go," which is another title given for the song formerly known as "Milk & Cookies." They also reveal that Timbaland is behind Missy's song with Jazmine Sullivan, "Like When You Play The Music," while Danjahandz produced first single "Best, Best."
