Missy Elliott hasn’t set foot on the stage in a minute, but she resurfaced last night at a celebration for Hennessy’s Wild Rabbit campaign at Highline Stages in New York. Following an introduction from Erykah Badu, Timbaland got the crowd hype with his hits before bringing out Missy, who sported a bedazzled Jeremy Scott adidas track jacket.

The partners-in-rhyme, who both have new albums dropping this year, debuted new material including “Triple Threat” and “9th Inning,” which samples lyrics from Run-DMC’s “Here We Go (Live at the Funhouse),” accompanied by hip-hop dance duo Les Twins.

“Imma make u dance u dance Imma TRIPLE THREAT! Love u timbo! Feels like old times! 90,s” tweeted Missy.
