Missy Elliot and Timbaland have revealed that they will both release new solo albums this summer.
Timbaland, who has previously worked with Justin Timberlake, Madonna and Nelly Furtado, admitted that he and Elliot are readying individual records to be released at the same time.
He told Billboard: "Me and Missy are both coming out with our albums at the same time, and it will be in June.
"Right now, we're just preparing to get both our videos, our first singles shot at the same time. We want to do it as a movement."
Timbaland's new LP will follow up 2009's Shock Value II, which peaked at number 36 in the US and number 25 in the UK.
Elliot's release will mark her first since 2005's The Cookbook, which landed at number two in the US in 2005.
Last year, the MC was diagnosed with Graves' disease. She insisted: "I feel great. Under my doctor's supervision, I've been off medication for about a year and I'm completely managing the condition through diet and exercise."
