Blockbusta

by Busta Rhymes

Overview

On his 11th studio album Blockbusta, New York's elder rap statesman Busta Rhymes rubs elbows with a cast of younger artists from generations that followed in his footsteps, experimenting with updated production approaches even while collaborating with producers who came into their own in the 2000s. This results in a lively collection, with Swizz Beatz turning in funky, sample-based instrumentals like the Coi Leray duet "Luxury Life" or "The Return of Mansa Musa," Pharrell crafting dancehall-informed beats for "Tings" and the minimal, Burna Boy-featuring "Roboshotta," and an uncharacteristically trappy intro produced by Timbaland. Busta adapts to match his collaborators throughout Blockbusta, keeping up with DaBaby's energy level on party banger "Big Everything," smoothing things out on the romantic, island-flavored R&B of "Open Wide" with Shenseea, and trading venomous verses with Kodak Black and Quavo on trap tracks, as well as on the simmering pop of the BIA-led "Beach Ball." ~ TiVo Staff
