Busta Rhymes Shares Kendrick Lamar Collab Origin Story

It’s always welcome to see two hip-hop greats unite on a singular duet, and today marked the arrival of Busta Rhymes and Kendrick Lamar’s incredible “Look Over Your Shoulder.” Though some managed to snag a leaked version a while back, the official version — which comes complete with a fully-cleared Michael Jackson sample — feels like a victory lap ahead of Busta’s upcoming ELE2 album. And given how emotional Busta was upon its completion, expect this one to be a major showing from the Flipmode legend.

Today, Bus-a-Bus hit up Zane Lowe to open up about his new single with Kendrick Lamar, revealing a bit about the circumstances that led to its creation. “The incredible coming together of this record was a true magical experience,” explains Busta. “It started off one time with me being stuck in the studio, in Quad Studio, in Manhattan in New York. I had gotten a batch of beats from Nottz, who produced this track, and he’s been significant in a lot of the production for all of my solo albums. But he had given me this batch of beats probably five, six months before I actually even listened to it because I get so many beats from Nottz that sometimes I don’t get around to listening to all of his shit.”
“Finally, we are in a snow storm in New York and they declared it a national emergency and gave everyone a curfew,” he continues. “I refused to accept the curfew so I stayed in the studio. So I stayed in the studio, they shut the Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge down, they shut the Midtown Tunnel down, so I couldn’t leave the city anyway once it passed 11 o’clock. So I was like, “Fine. I’m going to stay in the studio tonight.” I stumbled on the beat. When I looked at the date of when I got the beat from Nottz, I couldn’t believe that I had this shit so long the whole time. So I ended up putting a verse on it. I sent it to Kendrick. Kendrick bodied the verse, sent it back.”
“And I got to big-up Kendrick, I got a big-up Top Dog, the whole TDE family,” says Busta, showing some love to Kenny’s label. “I got to thank all of the people that was involved with clearing this sh-t for me and giving me their blessing on being able to use this. And it just was unbelievable, and incredible, and just profound for me to be blessed with this gift.”
Be sure to catch “Look Over Your Shoulder” right here, and check back at midnight for the release of Busta Rhymes’ Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath Of God. Are you excited to catch this upcoming project, which happens to boast an incredibly stacked tracklist?

Tsu Surf Sparks Hope from Behind Bars With A Bold Promise of Return

In a message that brought hope throughout the hip-hop community, Tsu Surf shared an inspiring update from prison that felt more like a glimpse into his heart than a typical social media post. Recently, Surf made a statement on his Instagram featuring a billboard that promotes Mozzy’s new album, “Intrusive Thoughts.” While the billboard is dedicated to Mozzy, its message resonates, “This message is brought to you by Mozzy. Free Surf.” Surf also wrote a powerful caption: “FREE ME TIL ITS BACCWARDS. BE HOME IN A SECOND. DON’T BLINK.”
For those who’ve been following Surf’s journey, his triumphs, struggles, and legal issues, these words carry a special weight. After pleading guilty in April 2023 to some serious charges related to conspiracy and firearms, Surf was sentenced to five years in prison. This could have been a much worse situation; he was facing up to 30 years. So, when the judge announced the sentence, it felt like a relief to his devoted fans. Since then, things have been quiet on his front, but this new post breaks that silence not with specifics but with energy and hope. Surf’s statement uses the kind of expressive language his fans understand. When he says, “Be home in a second,” he’s suggesting that early release could be possible, even if he doesn’t provide exact details.

The fact that Mozzy, a respected rapper in his own right, strengthened Surf’s message shows a deep bond that goes beyond music. It’s about support and hope for the future. In a world where public backing can quickly fade, Surf’s impact still shines brightly. This moment doesn’t signal his return just yet, but it hints that the countdown to his release might be starting. While Tsu Surf may be physically locked away, his spirit remains alive and active. And if his words indicate, he could be back sooner than anyone thinks.
