1972 –Rapper, actorElektra executive Sylvia Rhone said of in Billboard, “You can never underestimate Busta; just when you think you ’ve figured him out, he will surprise you even more. ” The unpredictable rapper first achieved success as a teenager in the group Leaders of the New School.

But it was his 1996 solo debut, The Coming, and its lead single, “Woo hah!! Got You All in Check ” that catapulted him to stardom. Rhymes has since released three more albums, commenced an acting career, and launched his own record and fashion companies.Rhymes —born Trevor Smith to a Jamaican mother and U.S.-born father in, —moved with his family to the suburbs of during his adolescence.

While his deep, booming voice came from his father, the rapper reported to the Times, “when it came down to discipline in my family, the true barker was Moms. That ’s where my real energetic side comes from. ” Only after he arrived in “Strong Island, ” as fellow natives and rap revolutionaries called the borough, did Rhymes began to dream of rhyming. “I was mad small, ” he recollected in Elektra Records press materials, “but I would start entering rap contests, lip synch contests, anything to show my skills. ” Fortunately, he claimed, hailing from Brooklyn stood him in good stead, since “Bronx, Brooklyn and was where all the good hip hop was coming from at that time.

Rhymes was still in junior high school when he hooked up with another rapper, Charlie Brown. The pair eventually caught the attention of leader Chuck D. As well as the group ’s producers, Eric Sadler and Hank Shocklee. Sadler and Shocklee —known in the rap world as The Bomb Squad —helped the young Rhymes and his friends to refine their approach. As Rhymes noted in his Elektra Records biography, “Eric used to repeat this phrase to remind us what to concentrate on: C.L.A.M.P., which stood for Concept-Lyrics-Attitude-Music and Performance. He used to say when you get that down to a science, then you ’ll be there.

”Refining this blend took some time, but Rhymes, Charlie, and their friend Dinco D. Worked hard on their unison raps and choreography. After adding Rhymes ’s cousin, Custmaster Milo, as a DJ, they found their identity as Leaders of the New School. With the assistance of Chuck D., the quartet landed a deal with Elektra in 1989.

The group ’s debut album, A Future Without a Past, appeared in 1991 and was hailed by Spin as “high-energy hip hop ” that “recaptures some of the giddy joys of rap. ” Their 1993 follow-up, T.I.M.E., also enjoyed critical raves. The Source deemed it “a rarity in hip-hop: a sophomore album that ’s better than the debut, ” and singled out Rhymes ’s work for special praise. “Busta gets buttnaked and wild, ” the magazine proclaimed; “he growls, grunts, chants and basically continues to break all musical rules. ” According to Times writer Cheo Hodari Coker, “the group brought a lively energy to its shows and recordings by performing singsong routines in unison rather than the normal rap At a Glance Born Trevor Smith, Jr. On May 20,1972 in Brooklyn, NY; son of Trevor Sr.

Addresses: Agent – Agency, 1350 Avenue of the Americas, NY 10019.pattern of just one or two main voices. The music was accompanied by lively choreographed stomps. ” The group also appeared as guests on an album by “Godfather of Soul ”.Rhymes has cited as influences not only old-school funk master George Clinton and rock guitar icon Jimi Hen-drix, but some other figures that are, if anything, even more animated. “Secret Squirrel, Tom and Jerry, Courageous Cat, ” he enumerated in Spin, adding some other cartoon favorites: “A lot of the old s —t, too —Popeye, Mighty Mouse. That s —t just stays on at my crib 24 hours a day.

” He was able to demonstrate the range of his own cartoonish funkateer persona after Leaders took a hiatus in 1993. He put in guest appearances with R&B hitmakers, hip hop explorers, and many others. “The rapper has proved virtual nitroglycerin as a guest star, ” noted Spin writer Chris Norris. Rhymes also lent his presence to several films, including the 1993 rap comedy Who ’s the Man and ’s university drama Higher Learning (1995). “He was such a scene stealer, ” Singleton told Newsweek of Rhymes ’s Higher Learning performance. “Busta could be standing there, doing nothing, and when he turns around it ’s pure energy.

”Shortly after Leaders of the New School took a break, Rhymes —a member of the Five Percent sect of Islam — saw the birth of his son, T ’ziah. He dedicated his album to the memory of another, now deceased, son, Tahiem, but has not discussed this loss in the press. He spent the next few years in Brooklyn experiencing what he described to Spin as “normal, middle-class, standard-living s —t like how I came up. ” By the time he ’d completed his solo album, The Coming, T ’ziah was three years old and —according to his proud papa —a delight. “That ’s the coolest age to be around kids, ” he told Spin.

“They don ’t bicker, they ’re not looking for their moms, they just want to chill. ” It was the arrival of T ’ziah, he insisted in the Los Angeles Times, that made the solo effort a necessity “I would never have done a solo record voluntarily, ” he claimed. “I love the group, and we ’re still gonna record albums. But now that I ’ve had the chance to flourish and to blossom, I ’m gonna capitalize on the best of both worlds. ”Working with a variety of producers, Rhymes was able to expand his range on The Coming. “Usually when I ’m rhyming, ” reads a quote from his Elektra biography, “I only get to rhyme 16 bars.

Here I get to show other things. The record is energized on many different levels, including the Rhymes wild s —t.

” In addition to the massive “Woo hah!!, ” which was complemented by a frenetic, stylized video that earned heavy rotation on MTV, the album also features “It ’s a Party, ” a duet with female soul divas Zhane. Reviews of the album were mixed from a musical standpoint, but tended to celebrate Rhymes ’s vocal skills. Rolling Stone complained that “the mixes are simple, droopy and slow, ” but added that the rapper ’s “quavering rips and verbal acrobatics liven up the joint. He hurdles beats and measures in a single bound. ” Reviewer Eric Berman concluded, “Despite his musical shortcomings, Rhymes is a master MC and one of hip-hop ’s most jovial and vivid personalities, whose creativity on the mike may give rap a much needed shot in the arm.

” Coker, reviewing the disc for the Los Angeles Times, found it “short on deep themes but long on dazzling displays of rhyme skill. ” He cited the recording as proof “that there are still compelling hip-hop records to be made without dramatic narratives or weighty social politics. Rhymes toured behind The Coming in an omnibus rap show that also boasted the Fugees, Cypress Hill, and A Tribe Called Quest. He promised a reunion with his LONS mates before long, but in the short time expressed nothing but gratitude. “Every time my voice is recorded, ” he told the Los Angeles Times, “I ’m extremely happy.

Hip-hop is paying my bills and feeding my family. ” Rather than cop an “arrogant attitude and mad face, ” he added, he wanted to emphasize his accessibility: “I want the whole world to feel like they can approach and embrace me. ”Rhymes released his second solo album, When Disaster Strikes, in 1997.

People Weekly called his sophomore effort “seriously great ” and praised the single, “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See, ” for its “tightly controlled and surprisingly subdued stream of unconsciousness. ” The album earned multi-platinum sales status.Rhymes stated his won record label, FlipMode Entertainment, in May of 1998. The FlipMode Squad, a group of which Rhymes was a member, released the label ’s first album, Imperial. Rhymes told Billboard that, although “being an artist is my first love, ” FlipMode Entertainment would allow him “to do things with music that I don ’t do myself, from alternative to the hottest R&B. When Rugrats the Movie hit the big screen in November of 1998, Rhymes not only contributed to the animated film ’s soundtrack, but he also took on the role of Reptar Wagon. A month later, Rhymes ’s third album, Extinction Level Event (The Final World Front), was released. He told Billboard, “I had a lot of intense emotional experiences during the recording process, so I recorded it with those emotions in detail.

” One of Rhymes ’s chief concerns while making the record was the upcoming millennium. “In every holy scripture, ” Rhymes told Entertainment Weekly, “you find references to the significance of this time frame. ” In particular, Rhymes was worried about the Y2K computer bug. In preparation for possible disaster, Rhymes told Entertainment Weekly, “I ’m gonna store up on some food, some land, some loot —in particular, gold and silver, because it ’s probably gonna go back to some trade s —t. I ’m gonna be ready. ”However, Rhymes ’s fascination with the possibility of armageddon in 2000 was nothing new to fans of his music. “I ’ve always been thinking about time and the end of the century, ” Rhymes told Newsweek.

“The first album was called The Coming. The second album was called When Disaster Strikes. Now afer disaster strikes, it ’s an extreme level.

An extinction level. ”Two of the albums highlights —for both Rhymes and his listeners —stemmed from collaborations with. Jackson joined Rhymes on “What ’s It Gonna Be, ” and the video for the song received heavy air play on MTV. Rhymes worked with Osbourne on a remake of Osbourne ’s “Iron Man, ” which Rhymes called “This Means War. ” Rhymes had always admired the Osbourne ’s powerful vocals on that song. “The intensity, the effect, ” Rhymes told Imusic.com, “it ’s the same way I approach my s —t. Overall, the album received positive reviews.

News-week ’s Veronica Chambers noted, “He heralds doomsday with a danceable beat. ” Entertainment Weekly called it “a characteristically bombastic tour de force. ” Imusic.com noted that Rhymes “commands the listener ’s attention. Unleashing thought provoking verses one minute, and spitting out euphoric hailstones of hectic, teeth clenching rhymes the next. ” Also in December of 1998, Rhymes found himself embroiled in legal problems when police discovered a loaded and unregistered gun in his Mercedes. The rapper was charged with criminal possession of a weapon.

Rhymes ’s manager, Gerald Odom, who was also in the car at the time, was arrested for marijuana possession.Joining the ranks of other hip-hop stars who have ventured into the fashion industry, Rhymes launched Bushi Designs in 1999. The company ’s name was derived from the Japanese for warrior — “bushido. ” Initially, the company produced a line of footwear, but this was soon followed by a line of men ’s clothes. A women ’s clothing line was added a year later. Rhymes, along with partner Rashib Boothe, designed all the clothing himself. “Hip-hop is a culture like.any other, ” Rhymes told Billboard. “There ’s a dress code that goes with the spirit and cultural significance.

”In the summer of 2000 Rhymes released Anarchy. “This album feels a little more extreme from a personal standpoint, ” Rhymes told Billboard. Because I ’m in a place now where I ’m comfortable enough to express that level of my creative ability. ” The personal nature of Anarchy was evident in “How Much We Grew. ” This song chronicles Rhymes ’s life. “It looks back at the struggle that was so worth going through because of how rewarding it is today, ” Rhymes explained in Billboard.

The album also featured a collaboration with entitled “Make Noise. Rhymes also returned to movie theaters in the summer of 2000, appearing alongside in Shaft.

Rhymes played Rasaan, a character who helps Shaft. “I ’m pretty much the guy Shaft can ’t be because he ’s a cop, ” he explained in Jet.

“Shaft has to follow the legal procedure to solve crimes and deal with thugs. Rasaan can assist him in a very unorthodox street way. ” Also in 2000, Rhymes was featured in Finding Forrester, starring. The following year, Rhymes was busy filming Narc, an action-packed thriller which starred Jason Patrick and Ray Liotta. Rhymes also signed on to play the Cowardly Lion in a remake of The for Fox television. In addition, he competed several television commercials for Mountain Dew.When Rhymes ’s contract with Elektra Records ended in 2001, he decided to sign with Clive Davis at J Records. “In every area of your life, you grow to a certain level, ” Rhymes told Billboard.

“The bottom line is, I don ’t want to people to just be in Busta Rhymes ’ business. I want people to be in business with Busta Rhymes. I think J Records will be the machine that can do that. ” Rhymes ’s record label became an imprint of J Records.A man of numerous talents, Busta Rhymes has set himself up to conquer the worlds of music, film, and fashion. Yet, despite his varied interests and abilities, one thing remained constant. Rhymes told Essence, “As long as I can represent what I am, which is hip-hop, in whatever genre of entertainment I ’m doing, then that ’s as real as it ’s going to get with Busta Rhymes. Fake isn ’t even an option.

The unpredictable rapper—who first achieved fame as a teenager in the group Leaders of the New School—leapt into the first rank of hip-hop with his 1996 solo debut, The Coming, and its lead single 'Woo hah!! Got You All in Check.' Busta's frantic delivery, explosive energy and outrageous attire cut through hip-hop's cool demeanor like a hot knife through butter. And unlike the gangsta-leaning MCs who dominated the first half of the 1990s, he expressed impatience with street credibility.

'I don't want to hear about this issue of keeping it real no more,' he asserted in a record company biography. 'It's all hype. It's time we all saw through it.' He later commented to Times writer Cheo Hodari Coker, 'I don't just represent a 20-block radius known as my 'hood. I represent the universe.'

Busta was born Trevor Smith to a Jamaican mother and U.S.-born father in Brooklyn,. He moved with his family to the suburbs of during his adolescence. While his deep, booming voice comes from his father, the rapper reported to Coker, 'When it came down to discipline in my family, the true barker was Moms. That's where my real energetic side comes from.'

Only after he arrived in 'Strong Island,' as fellow natives and rappers called the borough, did Busta began to dream of rhyming. 'I was mad small,' he recollected in Elektra Records press materials, 'but I would start entering rap contests, lip synch contests, anything to show my skills.'

Maple Dr., Ste. 123, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.In 1998 Busta Rhymes issued his solo debut follow-up, When Disaster Strikes. The album fared well, reaching number three on the pop charts and number one on the rhythm and blues charts.

A concept loosely 'framed as a pre-millennium party spinning out of control, sort of like the dark side of Prince's ‘1999,’' according to All Music Guide critic Steve Huey, the album yielded several hit singles, including 'Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See' and 'Dangerous.' Guest artists on the album included Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs. Extinction Level Event (The Final World Front) was released in 1998, and featured a guest appearance by on a remake of the Black Sabbath heavy metal chestnut 'Iron Man.' In 2000 Busta released Anarchy, which appeared to some critics as a sequel or second disc of material from Extinction Level Event. Whether this assessment was fair or not, such criticism must have stung, leading Busta to veer widely from his previous sound to the uncharted territory of 2001's Genesis. For this album he enlisted the resources of Kelis, Mary J.

Blidge, and P. Diddy (nee Puff Daddy), as well as production assistance from and Pete Rock.It Ain't Safe No More, released in 2002, was another solid effort, featuring such critically acclaimed songs as 'Call the Ambulance' and 'What Up.' Despite the, the album failed to reach the Top 40 of the Billboard album charts, prompting Busta to switch labels for his next effort, The Big Bang, which mostly displayed the artist marking time until his next creative inspiration.

With the assistance of Chuck D., the quartet landed a deal with Elektra in 1989. The group ’s debut album, A Future Without a Past, appeared in 1991 and was hailed by Spin as “high-energy hip hop ” that “recaptures some of the giddy joys of rap. ” Their 1993 follow-up, T.I.M.E., also enjoyed critical raves. The Source deemed it “a rarity in hip-hop: a sophomore album that ’s better than the debut, ” and singled out Busta ’s work for special praise.

“Busta gets buttnaked and wild, ” the magazine proclaimed; “he growls, grunts, chants and basically continues to break all musical rules. ” According to Los Angeles Times writer Coker, “the group brought a lively energy to its shows and recordings by performing singsong routines in unison rather than the normal rap pattern of just one or two main voices. The music was accompanied by lively choreographed stomps. ” The group also appeared as guests on an album by “Godfather of Soul ”. Busta toured behind The Coming in an omnibus rap show that also boasted the Fugees, Cypress Hill, and A Tribe Called Quest. He promised a reunion with his LONS mates before long, but in the short time expressed nothing but gratitude.

“Every time my voice is recorded, ” he told Coker, “I ’m extremely happy. Hip-hop is paying my bills and feeding my family. ” Rather than cop an “arrogant attitude and mad face, ” he added, he wanted to emphasize his accessibility: “I want the whole world to feel like they can approach and embrace me. ” With Leaders of the New SchoolA Future Without a Past, Elektra, 1991., Universal James (appears on “Can ’t Get Any Harder ”), Scotti Brothers, 1992.T.I.M.E., Elektra, 1993.

(featuring ), 'Pass the Courvosier' (with P. Diddy)Busta Rhymes is notable for his energy and his quirky, superanimated rapping. He is one of hip-hop's most dependable artists, with each of his albums receiving considerable commercial attention.Trevor Smith Jr. Was born to a family of Jamaican roots in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn, a multicultural community.

The Smiths moved to, where young Busta Rhymes met a fellow lyricist, Charlie Brown. They formed a group called Leaders of the New School.

The ensemble was considered part of hip-hop's Native Tongues subgenre, an earthy bohemian movement popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band was discovered by the rap supergroup, who agreed to nurture the act after seeing them perform at a talent show. Leaders of the New School expanded to include the rap artists Dinco D. And Cut Monitor Milo, and recorded songs at 's studio.

They secured a deal with Elektra Records and released their debut album, A Future without a Past. The album spawned the bouncy hits 'Case of the P.T.A.'

And 'Sobb Story,' and critics and a cult following of fans hailed them as a refreshing, vital force within the Native Tongues scene. Nevertheless, that album failed to make a dent with consumers.Although his group's commercial viability was in question, Busta Rhymes was emerging as a superstar. His wild, upward-combed hair and tall, lanky frame created a memorable image. Busta Rhymes's breakout moment occurredon the song 'Scenario' (1991),. The song also features Charlie Brown and Dinco D., but it is Busta's closing verse that attracted the fans.

Here he debuts his sound-effect style of rapping, somewhere between rhyming and beat boxing, which became his signature. His frenetic flow, coupled with vigorously enacted lyrics like 'rroaw rroaw like a dungeon dragon,' have made him a unique voice in hip-hop. Busta Rhymes's rising star did little to save his group's follow-up effort, T.I.M.E. (1993), from obscurity.

The group disbanded, and Busta Rhymes embarked on a solo career marked by a flamboyant image. His hair was a fountain of dreadlocks and he dressed in loud, cartoonish costumes. Thanks to another magnetic cameo appearance, this time on the 1995 remix of Craig Mack's 'Flava in Ya Ear,' Busta Rhymes experienced a resurgence with diehard rap fans. He collaborated with the video director Hype Williams, whose bold treatments emphasized Busta Rhymes's colorful, attention-grabbing style. Busta Rhymes's first solo single, 'Woo-Hah,' and first solo album, The Coming (1996), were platinum smashes.Busta Rhymes developed his partnership with Hype Williams, making videos as fast-paced and frenzied as his delivery and beats. Their clips were hip-hop's most inventive.

The video 'Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See' received three MTV Video Music Award nominations. The song, from the album When Disaster Strikes (1997), is built on a tribal beat and a clever rhyme sequence, in which the first lines all end with the slang term 'yo.'

Each of Busta Rhymes's solo albums went platinum, and he recorded a dizzying array of songs with other artists. His biggest collaboration, 'What's It Gonna Be?!,' with, is another highlight. The song sold more than 1 million copies, and the high-tech video cost more than $2 million to produce. The album behind it, Extinction Level Event (Elektra, 1998) also includes a duet with, endearing Busta Rhymes to new rock audiences. His slot on Puff Daddy's 1998 No Way Out arena tour showcased his expressive performing style.Along with selling records, Busta Rhymes found steady work as a film actor. His first significant role was in the movie Higher Learning (1995). He also appeared in Shaft 2000, Finding Forrester (2002) and: Resurrection (2002).

Busta Rhymes started another group, Flipmode Squad, of which he is the lead member, and a record label of the same name.In 2001 Busta Rhymes severed his long relationship with Elektra and signed to the newly formed J-Records, headed by the music industry legend Clive Davis. His first J-Records release, (2001), seemed to lag in sales in its first months of release, but thanks to a club remix of the marketing mantra 'Pass the Courvosier,' featuring P. Diddy, it joined his other albums in the platinum club. His second J-Records album, It Ain't Safe No More (2002), boasts a dancehall-tinged single 'Make It Clap' and the smooth 'I Know What You Want' with and the Flipmode Squad.Unlike artists who need to reinvent themselves over time, Busta Rhymes maintains a formula that remains constant and relevant to his fans. Futuristic and frenetic, his dynamic rapping style pulses with a vitality seldom matched by his peers.
