Busta Rhymes & Kendrick Lamar Drop Off “Look Over Your Shoulder”

Busta Rhymes’ upcoming album Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath Of God is set to arrive at the stroke of midnight. Now, Busta has officially delivered the anticipated collaboration “Look Over Your Shoulder,” which finds the legendary Flipmode lyricist trading bars with Kendrick Lamar, who appears determined to remind the masses how effortlessly he can snap. As his first guest appearance of 2020, the Micheal Jackson-sampling track kicks off with some bars from Kung-Fu Kenny, who opts to bedazzle with an impeccable flow. “Big marbles, nig*a,” he boasts. “I lead this new generation, boy / Don’t argue with us / Marvelous beat selectors, authors, and novel spitters.”

Closing things off is Busta Rhymes, who matches Kendrick’s stride with a patient and explosive verse, the likes of which have been well-honed from over twenty-five years in the rap game. “When I arrive, my theme music, gotta pound to it, and when I leave even my shadow got a sound to it,” spits Busta. “Cause I’m the god, the harder, the martyr, the father.” Bar for bar, it will be hard to top the prestige of “Look Over Your Shoulder,” a refreshing duet between two Aftermath alumni — check it out for yourself now, and sound off if you’re excited for Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath Of God.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

I’m the Buddha, the Ali Baba, the believer, the maker
So pristine, the dice roll from under my sleeve when I shake ’em
So rude, I’m so ice cold but I’m what you need to just wake ’em
While ’em crowns and medals on the wall waitin’ for me to just take ’em
When I arrive, my theme music, gotta pound to it
And when I leave, even my shadow got a sound to it

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
