Missy Elliott & Fatman Scoop Joined Ciara To “Level Up”

After Ciara dropped her latest single “Level Up,” which spawned its own #LevelUpChallenge, Missy Elliott and Fatman Scoop had to help “Level Up” the song some more.

“Level Up” samples DJ Telly Tellz’s “Fuck It Up Challenge” song, which in infectious at parties itself, so of course Ciara’s version has become as popular across social media. Whether you like it or not, you remember her song, and you’ve sang it sometime since its release. But now with Fatman Scoop’s hypeness and Elliott’s flow, the song has truly leveled up while taking us back to 2005/2006.

Missy Elliott:

“Fake friends, I let go/ I don’t hang with them no mo’/ I don’t need no promo/ I make dollars like Klef-lo/ Original, no klepto/ Got a new flow, got a new glow/ Level up, I’m beautiful/ My ass bounce like a yo-yo…”

Check out the song here.
