Last week, Busta Rhymes dropped his highly anticipated new album BLOCKBUSTA. The album featured production from a trio of legends including Timbaland, Pharrell, and Swizz Beatz. It's also packed with high-profile features including Quavo, Young Thug, BIA, Coi Leray, DaBaby, Chris Brown, Kodak Black, and many more. The album is already off to a good start with each of its three single well over 1 million streams on Spotify and "BEACH BALL" with BIA over 2 million.
