NO BS RHYMES

Busta Rhymes recently revealed that his next album titled Back On My Bs will hit stores on December  4th.

Busta divulged to Rolling Stone that the album will feature  a collabo with rock/metal band Linkin Park called “It Looks Like We Made It”. The track was produced by Cool and < STRONG>Dre.

“It feels like Rocky won the fight or something,” Busta explained about the song. “ It reminds the people who are successful to go and help those that haven’t been so successful, and represent the unity between people.’

“[The] song speaks volumes to the globe — it ain’t just about the ‘hood, it ain’t just about the suburbs, it’s about everybody,” he continued. “This is one of those songs that can’t be described better than touching the souls of the common people.”

BIG BUSINESS

Jones, who also serves as an A&R for Warner Music Group , has begun working on a new album.
