Da Real World is the second studio album by Missy “Misdemeanor” Elliott, released on June 22, 1999, through East West Records, Elektra Records, and The Goldmind. Showcasing a darker, edgier, and more unapologetic side of #MissyElliott’s artistry, the album helped solidify her reputation as one of hip-hop’s most innovative voices. The project was led by the bold single “She’s a Bitch,” which was serviced to radio on March 4, 1999, and followed by “All n My Grill” and the chart-topping “Hot Boyz (Remix),” featuring #Eve, #Nas, and Lil’ Mo. Upon release, Da Real World debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200, becoming Elliott’s second consecutive Top 10 album and remaining on the chart for 39 weeks. Its commercial success earned it Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on February 4, 2000, further cementing Missy Elliott’s place as a groundbreaking force in hip-hop and R&B.
