About Busta Rhymes
Trevor George Smith Jr., better known as Busta Rhymes, is an iconic figure in hip-hop who hails from East Flatbush in the Brooklyn borough of NYC. His career began in the late 1980s with Leaders of the New School, when his rapid-fire rapping style and intricate lyrics gained national attention after the group opened for Public Enemy on tour.
Following the disbandment of L.O.N.S., he took the opportunity to release his 1996 solo debut, The Coming, which earned him a Grammy nod and established him as a powerhouse of his genre. The success of the album led to collaborations with a wide range of artists, including A Tribe Called Quest, Redman, and the Fugees.
His highest charting projects with other artists include “What’s It Gonna Be?” with Janet Jackson, “I Know What You Want” with Mariah Carey, and "Don't Cha" by The Pussycat Dolls, all of which reached the top three on the US Hot 100. On his own, his albums have consistently graced the Billboard 200, with The Coming (1996), When Disaster Strikes (1997), and Genesis (2001) reaching the top ten.
