Episode 11: Suzi Analogue on Missy Elliott’s “Da Real World” (1999)

Episode 11

12th December 2017

Producer/artist Suzi Analogue gets digi with it when we talk about Missy Elliott’s sophomore album, “Da Real World.”

Episode notes

The album: Missy Elliott: Da Real World (Elektra, 1999)

Artist and producer Suzi Analogue originally hails from Missy Elliott’s native state of Virginia though these days, she’s rooted in Los Angeles, having come up within the city’s beat scene. Suzi wanted to talk about what she described as the “underdog” album, Missy’s enormously successful yet somewhat forgotten sophomore album, Da Real World, one in a string of five back-to-back platinum LPs for Missy and her production partner, Timbaland. We talked about Missy’s creative genius and what that meant for a young girl, growing up in VA.
