After debuting her two new tracks in a live performance earlier this month, Missy Elliott’s comeback songs have officially been released. Her record label posted the audio of both “9th Inning” and “Triple Threat” on its YouTube channel. As expected, long-time collaborator Timbaland appears on the tracks, both of which will appear on Elliott’s upcoming album, Block Party.
Personally, a song featuring Missy farting or sneezing would’ve made me happy. It’s been way too long of a break, IMHO. Thankfully, both her new offerings are solid efforts and should make her fans happy. With Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks representing the new wave of female MCs, it’s nice to have one of the legends in the genre back in the game. If you haven’t already done so, check out the 41-year-old rapper’s new tracks below.
What do you think of Missy’s new songs? Do you prefer one over the other? Are you excited that she’s back on the music scene? Sound off below.

There’s shades of Party People but it doesn’t have the spark and the fun I loved her for.
I hope that after five years this record is good but I’m not getting those hopes too high since after listening to Push and Shove today which was, what, 3 years in the making, was pretty disappointing.

I found it kind of odd both songs played in both videos, but anyway. I’m really looking forward to this album, I think it’ll be fantastic.
