Busta Rhymes was an original member of Leaders of the New School, a group that attracted national attention when they opened on tour for Public Enemy.

Shortly thereafter, Leaders of the New School broke up, leading Rhymes to become a sought after solo artist, appearing on numerous tracks for other artists before his solo debut album, The Coming (1996). The album reached the top ten on the Billboard 200 album chart, was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and earned him a Grammy nomination.
He has released eleven total solo albums, with the most recent being 2023’s Blockbusta. Rhymes’ list of hit singles include “Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check”, “It’s a Party”, “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See”, “Dangerous”, “Turn It Up” (Remix)/”Fire It Up”, “Gimme Some More”, “What’s It Gonna Be?”, “Pass the Courvoisier, Part II”, “I Know What You Want” and “Touch It”.
