Audio: Missy Elliot, “Best, Best” (prod. by Danja)
- story THE FADER
“Best, Best” is Missy’s new single off Block Party which is slated to come out in August, and though it’s pretty weird for a pop single, it’s not as weird as you might expect from her and Danja. Maybe not-so-weird is the new weird? No, that’s stupid. It’s just not that weird, but we are still feeling it as a sort of mid-afternoon warm-up song for before you really want to get down but might have snuck a beer or two in already at lunch. Not that we do stuff like that.

- story THE FADER
Here’s how the story of us and Izza Kizza goes: Someone came into the office and played us his music and we were like HOLY SHIT this dude raps like Timbaland sounds! He’s like a male Missy. Or maybe a rap R Kelly. He clearly does not care what we think makes sense or is cool, e.g. dude says I want my babyback babyback babyback ribs in this song and it sounds awesome. So then we featured him in the “House That Tim Built” feature in the current issue of the magazine, and then he tore down his first live performance ever at that issue’s release party. And now we have his first single, featuring Lady Missdemeanor, and we’re back at HOLY SHIT! See how that works? Get it below. PS- Dude’s MySpace is incredible.
