Biography
Talented rapper with Jamaican ancestry, Busta Rhymes (Trevor Smith) was born in Brooklyn, New York on May 20, 1972. The kid tried to stick to grown up rappers all the time and made then see a big gift in him and give him an opportunity to reveal his skills. As a teenager, Trevor won a competition for young rappers held by Chuck D from Public Enemy. He was the one who proposed to Trevor his future stage name, Busta Rhymes, originated from the name of the NFL player George ‘Buster’ Rhymes. Chuck also helped the winner to organize his first band Leaders of the New School formed in the late eighties. A bright future was promised to this outfit after the critical acclaim of their first works, A Future Without a Past (1991), and T.I.M.E (1993), but the inside differences brought a timeless end to the group. After the demise of this formation, Busta Rhymes was able to focus entirely on his solo career and combine it with the acting activity. His most notable work in cinema of that period was the part in Learning High shot in 1995.
In March 1996, Busta Rhymes issued his first solo album, The Coming, to grab the leadership in the R&B/hip-hop Billboard charts, mostly thanks to the colorful single Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check. This composition had such an impressive charts performance that it took the album only two months to receive the golden certificate. In a year, this studio work earned the artist a Grammy nomination proclaiming him one of the year’s most prominent rap performers.In the centre of attention, Busta Rhymes wasted no time and within a shortest possible period recorded a sophomore long player to be released in September 1997 under the title When Disaster Strikes. This record did an amazing job to overcome its predecessor by ranking third in Billboard 200. It featured eighteen flawless tracks including the smashing hits Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See, and Dangerous. Standing firmly ahead of the hip-hop movement, Busta Rhymes took no big efforts to produce a streak of three powerful albums coming one after another in a blink of an eye, E.L.E: The Final World Front (1999), Anarchy (2000), and Genesis (2001). He added four more Grammy nominations to his great achievements alongside. The artist was doing fine in Hollywood too as he appeared in two expensive and well promoted movies Shaft, and Finding Forrester, both released in 2000.
In 2002, Busta Rhymes worked hard to find time for cinema as he played in Halloween: Resurrection, and Narc, and for his music career making the sixth album. It was It Ain't Safe No More and hit the stores the same year on November 26. The new effort was slightly weaker than the other works, but featured two undisputable hits, Make It Clap, and I Know What You Want. The latter had a video nominated for an MTV VMA. Later, in October 2004, Busta Rhymes delivered a collection of his best songs, The Artist Collection: Busta Rhymes. In two more years, he enlarged his discography with another full format CD, The Big Bang. The making process involved such celebrities as Stevie Wonder, Missy Elliott and Q-Tip. This work was purposed to bring back Busta Rhymes’ golden era of the late nineties. Even if not musically, this record succeeded commercially above all expectations. In May 2009, Busta Rhymes hit the stores with his subsequent studio effort, Back On My B.S. He refused to experiment with music and prepared quite a predictable kind of material, yet executed it at the highest possible level, always loyal to his rules: multitude of guests and working with established producers.

One of the most idiosyncratic personalities in rap -- with his halting, ragga-inspired style and incredible complexity, inventiveness, and humor -- Busta Rhymes formed Leaders of the New School in 1990 and released two albums with the group before breaking out with a 1996 solo hit single, 'Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check.' Born in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, in 1972 of Jamaican heritage (a definite influence on his rapping style), Busta moved to Long Island in 1983 and, at Uniondale High School, met up with MCs Charlie Brown, Dinco D., and Cut Monitor Milo. Inspired by fellow Long Islanders Public Enemy and Eric B. & Rakim, the foursome united as Leaders of the New School and signed a deal with Elektra Records right out of the gate, when Busta was only 17 years old. Much respected in the hip-hop underground for their Afrocentric philosophy and tough rapping styles, Leaders of the New School debuted in 1991 with Future Without a Past... but released only one more album, 1993's T.I.M.E., before breaking up the following year.Out on his own for the first time, Busta called on some friends, appearing on A Tribe Called Quest's 'Scenario,' the incredible remix of Craig Mack's 'Flava in Ya Ear' (also featuring Notorious B.I.G. and LL Cool J), as well as other projects with Boyz II Men, Mary J. Blige, and TLC. He appeared in the 1995 John Singleton film Higher Learning and earned a solo contract with Elektra. Busta's first album, The Coming, proved a huge hit; the single 'Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check' hit the Top Ten and pushed the album into gold record territory. His second album, When Disaster Strikes, debuted at number three in September 1997. Extinction Level Event followed a year later, and in mid-2000 Busta released Anarchy while appearing on the silver screen in a remake of the blaxploitation classic Shaft. It Ain't Safe No More arrived in 2002 and the Aftermath-released The Big Bang followed in 2006. Creative differences with Interscope kept his career on hold until 2009 when Back on My B.S. became his first album for Universal/Motown.Subsequent label issues would delay a proper follow-up until three years later. During that time, Busta appeared on tracks with Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Tiësto, Diplo, Twista, Fat Joe, and Kanye West. He signed with Cash Money in 2011, but the union was brief: Busta would later part ways with the label. In 2012, he released his ninth effort, Year of the Dragon, as a free digital download. The album featured Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Gucci Mane, among others. A joint EP with Eminem and Everlast titled Calm Down: The Clash arrived in 2014.In 2016, Busta featured on 'My Shot' from the chart-topping Hamilton Mixtape. That same year, he released the Return of the Dragon: The Abstract Went on Vacation mixtape just in time for the holidays. The collection contained a stacked roster of guests including Fabolous, Jadakiss, and Styles P, O.T. Genasis, Chance the Rapper, Mary J. Blige, Raekwon, MF Doom, and Busta's original crew, Leaders of the New School, on the track 'We Home.' The following year, he issued the track 'Girlfriend' with Vybz Kartel and Tory Lanez. ~ John Bush
