Busta Rhymes Preps Ninth Album The Chemo for Independence Day

"When it’s sizzling in these streets, I think that is the most appropriate time to let go of this heat that I’m sitting on," Busta Rhymes told HipHollywood.com. "I been cooking in the kitchen and it’s been feeling good. We about at the point were we about to take it out of the oven from baking add a couple of the final additive and preservatives and seasonings and feed people the full course meal."

"The new album is 80 percent finished, and it's called The Chemo. It’s the first time I'm announcing the name of the album. It’s self-explanatory. We’re coming to kill the cancer in music. I ain’t trying to offend anybody. We gotta re-establish the understanding that the perspective of hip-hop is to make music that always felt undeniable and unprecedented and we set a standard. I feel that starting to happen again with the likes of the Raekwon Cuban Linx II, and a lot of projects are starting to feel like they’re coming again. A lot of projects are feeling like they remind us of what hip-hop is really supposed to feel and sound like."
