Sprite’s Obey Your Verse campaign features lyrics from some of hip-hop’s elite on special edition cans for a limited time. This summer’s round includes Tupac, Missy Elliott and J. Cole, while last year’s inaugural round included Rakim, Drake, Nas and Biggie. Mixing both years together, Sprite has tapped Rakim to star in their latest ad, playing a store clerk who gets annoyed at a young boy who can’t decide between a Missy, Pac or Cole can.

Lyrics From Missy Elliott, Tupac & J. Cole Will Cover Next Round Of Sprite Cans
Remember last summer when Nas, Drake, Rakim and Biggie’s lyrics appeared on Sprite cans? Well, the beverage company is running the Obey Your Verse campaign once again this summer, and this time it will feature the words of Missy Elliott, Tupac and J. Cole. “We wanted to make sure we identified artists who represented our point of view of staying true to yourself, artists who stay true to who they are and what they want to represent,” Bobby Oliver, Coca-Cola’s director of North America, said. “And we wanted a nice balance of artists that have longevity in hip hop and some with more recent appeal.”

Missy Elliott has been tapped as the face of Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2016 campaign. This comes just one day after VH1 announced that the legendary rapper, singer and producer will be honored at this year’s Hip-Hop Honors ceremony, alongside Queen Latifah and other influential women in the genre. Her lyrics have also been chosen to appear on Sprite cans for the summer. Missy’s back like she never left! “From the moment I heard The Rain back in 1997, I was entranced by the genius rhythms and brilliant rhymes of Missy Elliott,” Jacobs says. “Missy’s music has kept me and my design team happily energized through countless weekdays, weeknights and weekends during those long hours of sketching, fitting, styling and doing looks.” So much TRUTH!
