Teyana Taylor, Future, and Missy Elliott unite for a slow-burning and lush "The Album" highlight, "Boomin."

Teyana Taylor has recently come through with her new album, opting to forego any semblance of fanciness during the naming process. Behold, The Album, a follow-up that makes up for its G.O.O.D Music brevity with a staggering twenty-three tracks. And while Taylor's latest features a respectable array of guest voices, including Rick Ross, Big Sean, Lauryn Hill, and more -- still, when you see Missy Elliott and Future connecting on the same track, it's hard not to take notice.

It's clear from the jump that "Boomin" will be an interesting ride, sparked by Missy Elliott's vintage declaration that we're listening to a Teyana Taylor Exclusive. And while this lineup may have easily lent itself to an up-tempo banger, Taylor opts to pull back for an extensive and sexually charged slow-burner. While all three parties come through in the vocal department, it's the lush production from seven different contributors -- including Taylor herself and longtime Missy Elliott collaborator Timbaland. For those who enjoy the journey as much as the destination, "Boomin" should satiate a variety of different urges -- especially if you dim the lights beforehand. 

QUOTABLE LYRICS

All a n*** need is a down-ass bitch, pay your bills
Baddies on baddies on baddies on baddies is the way I live
One in Miami, one in Atlanta, and Beverly Hills
Walk through the crib with no panties on, we made a deal
