The album boasts features from old school veterans, new school heavyweights, and everything in between. The introductory track features the likes of Chris Rock, Rakim, and Pete Rock. That much will communicate the vibe of the rest of the project, which includes vocals from Q-Tip, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, M.O.P., Bell Biv Devoe, and more.

Of course, Busta’s first album in eleven years wouldn’t be complete without some support from some of the artists dominating today’s landscape. He’s got songs with Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Rick Ross, Rapsody, and more.

ELE2 will also feature Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Nikki Grier, and more.

Let us know which song you’re most excited for in the comments.

In other Busta-related news, the rap legend has been embroiled in a playful feud with T.I., who turned down his appearance to compete on Verzuz in favor of a battle against Jeezy.
