(Radio.com) No one would like to hear a collaboration between Missy Elliott and Prince more than Missy Elliott. Problem is, she can't find the new music he sent her before he died.

"He had sent me some stuff, music of his and I moved and I could never find that music," Elliott told The Strombo Show. 'Yesterday, I was sitting there saying, I have to go to my house, in my storage space, and find this music."

The idea for the duet started when Elliott contacted Prince to ask for permission to use a lookalike of him for one of her shows. The two met in Los Angeles to discuss the details and then Prince sent her new music for a possible collaboration. Read more here.
