When Missy Elliott dropped "WTF (Where They From)" back in November 2015, many thought an album would follow it in the forthcoming year. However, Missy has been quite quiet on whether or not she's been cooking up more innovative tunes for the times.
But now, as an opener to 2017, the rapper and record producer ha returned with a new song titled "I'm Better" featuring a new artist named Lamb. The song boasts of today's trap music vibe but with a more subtle flow. Of course, Elliott sprinkled her genius bars on the bassline that makes the song undeniably intoxicating.
And while the song is replay-worthy, the video, which was directed by Missy and Dave Meyers, reminds us of the days when music videos actually told a story. Transporting audiences into Elliott's uncanny world, the creativity portrayed in the video is next level. There's even an underwater scene where Elliott and her dancers slay like no other.

While the debut of the song and video haven't transpired into talk of a possible album, Elliott did tease an upcoming documentary about her legacy. Coming soon, the trailer features interviews from music's elite that have worked with Elliott, like Pharrell Williams, who said that when she first stepped onto the scene, she “completely blew people away.”
