Busta Rhymes is a hip hop genius. The rapper became successful as soon as he entered the music scene. The talented rapper occupied a musical niche back in the 1980s and is still not inferior to young talents.
Today Busta Rhymes is not just a hip-hop genius, but also a talented producer, actor and designer.
Childhood and youth of Busta Rhymes
Trevor Smith is the rapper's real name. The future hip-hop star was born in Brooklyn. From early childhood, the little boy began to be interested in musical works. Incendiary reggae tunes often sounded in the house.
A feature of Trevor Smith was his great growth. Combined with strength and incredible agility, he could become a famous basketball player. As a teenager, his parents enrolled him in a school circle, where the boy learned to play basketball.
Trevor was great at playing basketball, and his parents had high hopes for him. Busta Rhymes in his interviews often says that if it were not for his love of music, he would have become a basketball player.
When Trevor was 12 years old, his family left Brooklyn and moved to Long Island. It was from the moment of moving to another city that Trevor's first steps towards popularity began.
Musical career of Busta Rhymes
The creative biography of Basta Rhimes has developed more than successfully. After moving to Long Island, the guy began to attend various competitions and shows. After gaining some experience, the rapper took part in a major music competition, where he met Charlie Brown.
Charlie Brown and Busta Rhymes performed at such a major competition for the first time, so we were very worried. Charlie invited the rapper to perform together, and he agreed.
Speaking before the jury, the guys received high marks. At a music competition, they were noticed by the producer Public Enemy, who invited the guys to record a joint track.
Busta Rhymes, along with Charlie, found a few more artists who literally lived in rap. Together with the rest of the guys, they organized the LONS musical group. The musical compositions that the group recorded on their own fell into the hands of the founders of the Electra Records label. And they offered to conclude a contract with the LONS team.
Label Electra Records drew attention to the rap group for a reason. According to the founders of the recording studio, the guys had already "outgrown" the yard level. A little more time passed, and the presented group became the most influential in rap circles.
In 1993, the musical group announced the breakup. Busta Rhymes went into free "swimming". He had long dreamed of a solo career, so this outcome of events did not upset him at all. Three years later, the artist released his first solo album.
Debut album The Coming
The debut album The Coming, which the rapper presented in 1996, was recorded in the style of gangsta rap. After the presentation of the solo album, the rapper went on tour, where he gathered thousands of fans.
After releasing his debut album, novice rappers began to turn to the artist for help and advice. Later, under the leadership of Smith, the Flipmode Squad was created. Under the leadership of Busta Rhymes, new hip-hop stars began to emerge.
The rapper, after a successful solo debut, began releasing albums one after another. One of the most worthy albums was ELE's The Final World Front. The recording of the collection was attended by such stars as Ozzy Osbourne and Janet Jackson.
After successful joint tracks, Basta Rhimes invited rapper Eminem to fruitful cooperation. In 2014, the rappers released Calm Down, which received over 1 million views. Calm Down is a kind of duel between the two "fathers of hip-hop".
The most popular tracks in the rapper's musical career were the tracks Break Ya Neck and Touch It. The musical compositions were highly acclaimed by music critics and fans.
During his musical career, the rapper was able to win more than 10 Grammy awards. Busta Rhymes was able to build a dizzying career as a rapper. Since 2016, he has been seen filming various films.
The most popular works include participation in the filming of films: Find Forrester, Drug Lord, Halloween: Resurrection.

Busta Rhymes now
In recent years, Busta Rhimes has not released a new album, which greatly upset his fans. Album Year of the Dragon, which the rapper presented in 2012, is the last "symptom of life" of the famous rapper.
But, despite the fact that albums are rare for a modern artist, he does not get tired of delighting fans with new singles. In 2018, the rapper presented the track Get It, which he recorded with Missy Elliott and Kelly Rowland.
Busta Rhymes does not give a clear answer to the question "When can fans expect a new album?". In 2019, the rapper went on tour. He does not forget about the CIS countries either.
