It’s been a minute since we’ve heard anything new from Missy, well, besides this rough draft. While Misdemeanor takes production credit on Monica’s new album, the songstress tells Rap-Up, Missy is working hard on her next LP. “She’s got some crazy music on there, some stuff I was trying to steal for my record.” However, she still managed to get away with a few goods. “I got a couple of things that she let me take, but she’s working really hard on [her album].” Remember Monica never lies.
