Busta Rhymes is in the midst of his comeback, having performed last night with Dave Chappelle at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. Later that night, he revealed on Twitter that he will be dropping a new single on July 1. What's more? Eminem will be on it.
The track, called "Calm Down," will be released on Conglomerate Entertainment, the label he founded, and features comic book-inspired art work.
Busta spoke about the new track to HotNewHipHop saying, "I've got a six-minute record with Eminem that sounds like we are respectfully trying to battle each other in a way that you probably never heard us battle in our entire careers on a record. So it's lot of real incredibly golden moments for us on this project."
"Calm Down" will be the lead single off Busta's upcoming album, Extinction Level Event 2, which follows up Busta's 1998 classic Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front.
Earlier this year, producer Scoop Deville spoke about the upcoming album saying it is going to "destroy the streets of New York and hip-hop in a lot of ways," adding, "The record is something that we've been putting together for a minute. It's not like an overnight thing. We've been trying to make this THE record to bring back Busta in a major way."
The album will include guest appearances from Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and Q-Tip. It is rumored to drop in November, however, no official release date has been announced.
