The Cookbook [CD, Import]

"Tras haber recibido los aplausos de crítica y público por sus anteriores trabajos ""This Is Not A Test"" (2003) y ""Under Construction"" (2002), Missy Elliott es considerada la artista más innovadora del Hip Hop y sus nuevas grabaciones se reciben con mucha expectación. En su nuevo disco, y como suele ser habitual en ella, cuenta con un elenco de colaboradores de lujo

CD Missy'S Back With Her Sixth Album The Cookbook. The First Single, "Lose Control" Features R&B Princess Ciara And Hip-Hop Motivator Fat Man Scoop. The Album Also Features Additional Production By Long-Time Friends And Collaborators Timbaland And The Neptunes.
