So far 2006 is surely a year Busta Rhymes would rather forget, but despite all his troubles the "Big Bang" album still has to be one of the more anticipated releases of the year, especially for those clamoring to "bring New York back", whatever that means. It was due out already by now, but has been pushed back and allegedly hits May 16th:
Busta Rhymes' Big Bang Will Come Later Than Expected
Busta Rhymes' The Big Bang was supposed to come out this week, but the album's release has been pushed back to May 16.
Aftermath/Interscope will release the follow-up to Rhymes' 2002 album, It Ain't Safe No More, which was the rapper's last release for J Records.
The single "Touch It" has already been released and a new one titled "I Love My Bitch" will hit the airwaves later this month. The track features Rhymes (real name Trevor Smith) alongside Black Eyed Peas member Will.i.am and milkshake enthusiast, Kelis.
The album will feature many other high-profile guests as well, including Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, DMX, Stevie Wonder, Ludacris and Lloyd Banks. It was produced by Aftermath main man Dr. Dre, Swizz Beats and Will.i.am...
