There are very few artists who can say that they’re responsible for the evolution of an entire genre, and Missy Elliott is one of the select group of people who can say exactly that. Elliott not only changed the trajectory of hip-hop, but she’s also the blueprint for every relevant hip-hop artist today, from Lil Wayne to Nicki Minaj.
The icon just announced that she’s about to go on her first-ever headlining tour, Out of This World – The Missy Elliott Experience. It will kick off on July 4 in Vancouver, then go through 24 stops that include Seattle, L.A., Atlanta, Newark, and, of course, Brooklyn. She’s not going at it alone, though. The tour will have appearances by Busta Rhymes, Ciara, and Timbaland, so you’re really getting three legends for the price of one.
“Fans have been asking me to tour forever but I wanted to wait until I felt the time was right because I knew if I was ever going to do it, I had to do it big, and I had to do it with family!” Elliott said in a statement. “We can’t wait to share this experience with the fans!"
The announcement was accompanied by a short video that aired on Good Morning America. This has been a major past several months for Elliott: In November, she became the first female rapper to be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of fame.
Here is all you need to know so that you don’t miss this legendary concert.
