posted in: Music News • OurStage Updates • Urban
The life of iconic rapper turned actor, Busta Rhymes, has been one of personal and professional trials and tribulations. Be it the break-up of rap group the Leaders of The New School or be it run-ins with the law, Busta has faced challenges that would have derailed many artists. Like the few MCs worth legend, Busta spins the tales of his personal experiences into lyrical gold. Back On My B S drops May 19th and marks his debut on Universal/ Motown.
Back On My B S features the smash single Arab Money and the all-new Hustlers Anthem featuring T-Pain. The album also features guest appearances by premiere hip-hop and R&B recording artists Common, Mary J. Blidge, Jamie Foxx with John Legend, T.I. & Akon, Estelle, Lil Wayne and more.
To help celebrate Busta Rhymes’ career defining release, the legendary rapper and his label (Universal/ Motown) have partnered with Radio-One and OurStage.com to discover emerging talents in Rap. During the month of May, OurStage is launching the Bust It Like Busta music channel, in which Artists have to bust out their hottest 30 to 60 seconds freestyle spit.
The Bust It Like Busta entries will go head to head in a public battle in which fans will rank the order up through to the Top 25. Busta will select one winner amongst the top 5 ranking artists in the contest channel. The winner will receive a mentoring session with Busta Rhymes and Universal/Motown executives in NYC. If you have what it takes, you may even walk out with a record deal!
Fans have been asked to help Busta Rhymes discover a rising star by judging the spits entered in the Bust It Like Busta channel. Any person judging the channel will be automatically entered in a sweepstakes for the chance to win a trip for two to meet Busta Rhymes and see the legend live in concert.
