Acclaimed Hip-Hop innovator Busta Rhymes' new single �We Made It� features multi-platinum two-time Grammy-winning rock band Linkin Park.
The single �We Made It�, produced by Cool and Dre, with additional production by Mike Shinoda will also feature co-lead vocalists Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda in the song's performance video directed by Chris Robinson. The video will be released in May, prior to the debut of Rhymes� eighth studio album, Blessed (Flipmode/Aftermath/Interscope), on June 28th.
The intriguing culture-mashing collaboration reflects the theme of �We Made It�. Says Rhymes of the song: �It ain�t just about the �hood, it ain�t just about the suburbs, it�s about everybody. This is one of those songs that will touch your soul, no matter who you are or where you�re from.�
�We Made It� digital single will release be released in Australia early May.
Busta Rhymes� previous album, 2006�s The Big Bang, his first for Dr. Dre�s Aftermath Entertainment, became the first US #1 Pop album of his career, and fourth US #1 R&B/Hip-hop album. Spinning off the US Top 20 Pop hit �Touch It,� The Big Bang claimed the top spot in its first week and went gold. The album followed his gold It Ain�t Safe No More. The Brooklyn-born, Long Island-raised Busta Rhymes (named by Chuck D of Public Enemy) launched his solo career in 1996 with the platinum #1 R&B/Hip-hop The Coming and its Top 10 platinum �Woo Hah!!
Busta has been called �the most idiosyncratic personality in rap and possessor of its most recognizable delivery, a halting, ragga-inspired style with incredible complexity, inventiveness, and humor� (All Music Guide),
Rhymes followed with three more platinum albums: When Disaster Strikes (#1 R&B/Hip-hop), Extinction Level Event (The Final World Front) (#2 R&B/Hip-hop), Anarchy (#1 R&B/Hip-hop) and Genesis (#2 R&B/Hip-hop), and their gold Top 10 Pop hits �Dangerous,� �Turn It Up� and �What�s It Gonna Be.�
NME quotes, �Busta Rhymes is Massive... in a metaphysical kinda way. Such is the phenomenal power of the show, that you�d swear there were ten or more Busta Rhymes onstage.�
Busta Rhymes � Blessed � released June 28.
