Melissa Arnette Elliot, known as Misdemeanor, performed at UBS Arena this past Saturday. The singer, songwriter, rapper, and producer, reminded the crowd of her unique style, and presence. Her 2024 Out of this World tour features a lineup that includes Ciara, Busta Rhymes, and Timbaland. Following the 50th Anniversary of Hip-hop, Elliot continues to grace fans with the beats and rhythms that let us bask in the nostalgia of the genre. Bringing Ciara on stage to perform “Lose Control” amplified the energy of the Elmont crowd even more than the light up bracelets that were handed out upon entrance. The Grammy award winner sat down with ABC News and talked about where her music influence stemmed from and how it got her to where she is today. She mentions her first record was Donna Summer’s ‘Last Dance’, and how she was enthralled by Prince, and Michael Jackson. Her mother’s religious influence brought around gospel music, while her father’s preference was those like Marvin Gaye. From that point in her life, she then sought interest in Run-D.M.C and Salt-N-Pepa. She makes it clear that the fusion of her mother and father’s taste combined, brought about a futuristic and elevated area of expertise. There are no questions asked, that Missy Elliot’s matured taste and tremendous stage presence have made her career a long lasting one. The Out of this World tour is a blend between the future, the effortless flow, and the fast-growing notoriety that Missy Elliot has obtained.
