#33 | BUSTA RHYMES | Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God
Conglomerate/Empire | Official Store

According to Daryl McIntosh: “Overall, watching rap’s perennial showstopper exhibit superior studio generalship with artists of the past and present adds to the argument that E.L.E 2 may be the unparalleled hip-hop project of 2020. The LP aims high and doesn’t fall short at gaining everyone’s attention, maintaining it, and raising the bar for contemporary album construction. Witnessing a rapper who officially entered the game in 1991 present a clear album-of-the-year contender is akin to watching LeBron James dominate the NBA in his seventeenth season. Busta has made himself one of the most recognizable names and faces in hip-hop by creating unforgettable moments, and with E.L.E. 2, he has crafted yet another. But this time, he achieves the feat not simply with a catchy verse or hit single, but rather with a masterpiece of a fully-realized album, at a time when the culture desperately needs it.”
