Bio: Busta Rhymes, multi-platinum selling artist and without question one of the most enduring and charismatic characters in the hip hop game, has his brand new ... (more) single “World Go Round” released on August 3rd. The single, taken from Busta’s hotly anticipated new album Back On My B S, features Estelle on guest vocals. A signature Busta Rhymes video, also featuring Estelle, has just been shot and will be coming to a computer /television/mobile screen near you soon.

Widely acknowledged among his peers and fans alike as one of rap’s greatest lyricists and performers, Busta’s eighth studio album Back On My B S will cement his position as one of rap’s best loved and most consistently innovative artists. Featured collaborators on the album include Lil Wayne, Akon, Estelle, T-pain, Mary J. Blige, Common, Ron Browz, Pharrell Williams, and standout tracks include forthcoming single ”World Go Round” , “Respect My Conglomerate”, “Hustler’s Anthem”, “Give Em What They Askin’ For” and “Shoot For The Moon”.

Since 1991 Busta Rhymes has been greeted as a transformational, bar-raising iconoclastic performer and writer. Not only was he a founding member of A Tribe Called Quest, Leaders Of The New School, Black Sheep, De La Soul and Jungle Brothers. That same year Leaders Of The New School teamed up with A Tribe Called Quest to create the all-time classic single “Scenario,” and released A Future Without a Past on Elektra Records. In 1996 Busta Rhymes released his debut solo album, The Coming, which featured the hit song “Woo Hah! Got You All In Check.” The single marked his first of 14 gold and platinum albums in his association with Elektra as a solo artist and founder of Flipmode Squad, and an additional five through J Records and Aftermath/Interscope. His 2006 album, The Big Bang, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart.

Busta’s run in the international charts has extended over a decade, from the platinum Grammy-nominated single “Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check” through to“What’s it Gonna Be?!” featuring Janet Jackson,“Pass the Courvoisier” with Diddy and Pharrell, and the Mariah Carey duet smash “I Know What You Want”. In between making albums, Busta entered the acting arena starring in John Singleton’s hit movie Higher Learning (1995) in which he made his acting debut. Busta teamed up again with John Singleton and starred along side Samuel L Jackson, Vanessa Jackson and Christian Bale in the remake of the 1971 classic Shaft. In 2000, he starred alongside Sir Sean Connery in Finding Forrester, and two years later starred alongside Jamie Lee Curtis “Halloween Resurrection”. (less)
