Back in 2019, Jozzy chopped it up with Billboard and discussed her career, including her admiration for the dynamic hitmaking legends, Missy Elliott and Timbaland.

"I just feel like, with Timbaland and Missy, their work ethic just kind of stayed on me," said Jozzy. "Like, the way they worked, they worked like they were broke, and that’s what stuck with me, you know? 'Work like you’re broke.'" Are you looking forward to Love Records?
