Busta Rhymes: Don't Call It A Comeback
Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God finds Busta Rhymes in top form, delivering rap's best album of 2020. Over a decade in the making, the Long Island/Brooklyn emcee's patience is rewarded with a modern classic----thirty years after his entry in the rap game as a member of 90s group Leaders of the New School and nearly 25 years after his durable solo career jump-off. No stranger to the hip hop stratosphere, Busta Rhymes racked up consecutive gold and platinum albums for a decade--- The Coming, When Disaster Strikes, Extinction Level Event (Final World Front), Anarchy, It Ain't Safe No More and Big Bang. Besides massive record sales, these albums had a couple things in common---cryptic titles and a chock full of hits. Busta and ELE2's producers deliver a powerful rap album that echo masterworks from music's past ---Thriller, Songs in the Key of Life, The Chronic , Mama Said Knock You Out and It Takes A Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back .
