Busta Rhymes
The Coming [Elektra]

With so much material currently out on the market...it's easy to see how some lps can be over looked.. Hopefully this won't be the case with Mr Busta Rhymes... His lp The Coming..is one of those lps you wanna put in a good soundin' walkman and just chillout for the rest of the day.. It's pretty good..

Initially I thought Busta with his hyperactive rhyme style would eventually sound annoying... Not the case here in The Coming... Each song has it's own flava that seems specifically crafted to cater to his rhyme style.. Deep bass.. low key but essential instrumentation ie..piano riffs...and organ chords...help set the stage for Busta's rhymes..which are entertaining..both in content and delivery..Standout tracks include...'Do My Thing' 'Abandoned Ship, his current single the slow jazzy bomb cut, Ill Vibe which features Tribe Called Quest... and his other current single which you hear on the radio everyday...It's A Party which features Zhane.

Overall this lp is defintely worth the purchase...
Go get it...GRADE= B+
