Today (Nov. 24), Busta Rhymes returned with his 11th studio LP, BLOCKBUSTA, which was executive produced by Pharrell Williams, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz. The project comes with 19 songs and appearances from Quavo, Young Thug, Blxst, Coi Leray, Burna Boy, Chris Brown and more.
Shortly after the album arrived, the New York legend took to social media to share his appreciation for everyone’s support. “Thank you. That’s all. I just wanted to thank the whole Earth,” he said in a self-recorded clip that he shared on his Instagram account. “BLOCKBUSTA. Out now. Thank you, everybody, thank you. Yeah. Biggest moment, biggest album.”
Busta first announced that he was working with the aforementioned producers in October. In a group video call shared on YouTube, the heavyweight spoke on the monumental collaboration. “I’m so grateful that you chose me to be a part of your legacy,” said Timbaland. Pharrell added, “You really feel illuminated. This illumination is good because I think people are going to be able to get and feel that.”
In addition to the album, fans can check out a video for “BIG EVERYTHING,” which features DaBaby and T-Pain and contains the same level of creative quirks found in classic Busta clips. Over a sample of Bun B’s “Get Throwed,” the Flipmode alumn delivered rapid fire bars about his status in the game.
“N**gas acting like they throwing money with bosses / You don’t wanna do that, cut some of your losses / Every single thing about a n**ga enormous / Lot of gold on a n**ga and the diamonds is flawless / See, you motherf**kers could never do the s**t I be doing / The best that you knew and been shaking and moving / And showing and proving, you know that we chewing and business is booming…”
