Busta Rhymes (born Trevor Smith in Brooklyn, New York on May 20, 1972) is an American alternative rap musician of Jamaican heritage who began his career rapping in Leaders of the New School before breaking new ground in the hip-hop community with a successful solo career. His zany, hyperspeed delivery and wordplay, and verbose lyrical similes distinguished him as being among the most recognizable rappers to ever hold the mic.

At the age of 12, his family moved to Uniondale, a suburb of New York City on Long Island, where he was raised and eventually met up with other MCs from the growing New York area hip hop community. He attended and graduated from George Westinghouse High School Downtown Brooklyn. The same high school produced famous MC’s Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z

Busta Rhymes’ musical career began as a member of the Hip Hop crew Leaders of the New School along with fellow Long Island, natives C. Brown, Dinco D, Cut Monitor Milo.

Busta Rhymes’ debut solo album The Coming was released by Elektra Records in 1996.

Busta Rhymes signed to Dr. Dre’s Aftermath Entertainment to release his seventh studio album, The Big Bang. On 12th June 2006 in the UK and a day later in the US, he finally released, The Big Bang. The album featured the first single “Touch It”, which charted in the top 20 of the US Billboard Hot 100 and inside the UK top 10

Thursday evening

quote/You're gonna get your traditional Busta Rhymes and Pharrell collabo. My man Focus from the Aftermath crew; Dr. Dre; the late, great J Dilla got work on the album. It's gonna be great — look forward to the new bang-out./quote. Busta lost all respect when Back on My B.S. had no Dilla tracks on it.

i don't have every busta album, but in my opinion. Genesis -> The Coming -> The Big Bang -> When Disaster Strikes.. -> It Ain't Safe no more are my faves.
