Busta Rhymes approached the 2020s with something to prove. Two years ago, the veteran co-founder of Leaders Of The New School and Flipmode Squad gave fans a classic-level album-arguably the best in his career. Extinction Level Event 2 showed the many sides of Busta Bus, including collaborations with Rakim, Kendrick Lamar, M.O.P., Q-Tip, and Anderson .Paak. Sadly, the Grammy committee overlooked the album in what appeared to be a strong contender to give B.R. his first Grammy win after 12 nominations.


In late 2022, Busta Rhymes is heating things up again. "Slap" features Big Daddy Kane and Conway The Machine. B.R. bridges the gap among some of the best lyricists, with a performance that also honors the late Biz Markie. Marley Marl produces the track, which pays homage to Big Daddy Kane's collabo' "Just Rhymin' With The Biz" from 1988's Long Live The Kane. Busta makes sure to also shout out all of Hip-Hop's fallen soldiers, including PnB Rock by name as well.

Busta fills his opening verse with punchlines and similes, backing down lesser peers with confidence lines about his lyrical prowess. B.R. was one of Conway The Machine's supporters from early on. He appeared on 2019's Eif 2: Eat What U Kill with a standout "Ghost Musik" collaboration. Nearly four years later, Bus' passes the mic to Conway. Matching Busta's energy, the Buffalo, New York MC clowns artists who purchase their own plaques, and compares his impact to Aaron Judge's ball bat.
