Busta Rhymes – Background Info and Bio

busta_rymes.gifBusta Rhymes, aka Trevor Smith, Jr. – Visit the Official Busta Rhymes Website. Busta Rhymes is associated with Aftermath, also the current label for Bishop Lamont. I’ve worked on some of the ProTools sessions for Bishop and now have some material in the works with BR’s crew, so we’ll see what happens. In the meantime you can also visit my free hip hop battle forum at RapDogs.com – one of the net’s first public battle forums.

I got into a little situation with a hip hop crew a while back, and it wasn’t pretty. My close friends know about it, nothing I’m going to post publicly. I said I’d never do hip hop again……but it’s just too much dang fun. And besides, how many Norwegian Protestants do you know doing hip hop? Stay tuned….

Wikipedia Busta Rhymes Info

busa2.jpgTrevor Tahiem Smith, Jr. (born on May 20, 1972), better known as Busta Rhymes, is an American hip hop musician and actor. Chuck D of Public Enemy gave him the name Busta Rhymes (from former NFL football player George “Buster” Rhymes) after watching him perform.

In November of 2005, Busta Rhymes cut off his trademark dreadlocks during a photo shoot in a New York barbershop owned by producer Cory Rooney. The shop is featured on an MTV show titled The Shop. “I started growing [my hair] in December ’89. I was 17,” he said. “I signed my [record] deal and said I ain’t combing my hair no more. I don’t have to.” He says the haircut was symbolic of a change in his music and the new record deal.

2006 has seen the release of his seventh studio album, The Big Bang. The CD became his first #1 album of his entire career. The CD sold over 209,000 copies in its first week to earn the top spot on the charts. The album also became his highest charting album in the UK, peaking at #19 there. Some of the album was leaked on the internet, and as a result several songs were left off the album and new ones added. The Big Bang featured more production by Dr. Dre than Busta’s previous releases and appearances by Raekwon and Nas. The singles that have been released from the album are, “Touch It”, “I Love My Chick”, featuring Kelis and Will.I.Am of The Black Eyed Peas, “New York Shit” featuring Swizz Beatz and “In the Ghetto”, featuring Rick James. Busta also had a stint opening for Carey’s Adventures of Mimi Tour.
