Missy Elliott Celebrates 30 Years of Aaliyah’s ‘Futuristic & Distinctive’ Album ‘One In a Million’
On the 30th anniversary of Aaliyah's iconic 1996 album 'One In A Million', Grammy-winning hip-hop icon Missy Elliott celebrated the significant impact of the late artist's work. The album, released three decades ago, was described by Missy as "FUTURISTIC and DISTINCTIVE" with her smooth vocals and choreography complementing every beat.
'One In A Million' was not only an album but a masterpiece and a body of work that continues to feel fresh and new, studied by many great artists today. The album, Aaliyah's sophomore studio release, reached No. 2 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and, following a 2021 reissue, reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 for the first time, peaking at No. 10.
'One In A Million' was primarily produced by Missy Elliott and Timbaland, with the latter also contributing to several tracks. Despite Aaliyah's untimely death in 2001, both Missy and Timbaland have kept her legacy alive through their own contemporary projects.
