Busta Rhymes Accepts Funk Flex Challenge, Drops Two New Tracks
The New York DJ also called on two new New York challengers to get him new music by next week.
Busta Rhymes has returned with two new tracks one week after Funk Flex challenged him to produce some new tunes.
While the songs unfortunately haven’t appeared on DSPs yet, the two joints premiered on Flex’s Hot 97 radio show on Friday morning (August 26). Busta previously teased the tracks with some braggadocious Instagram posts on Thursday (August 25).
“WE DON’T DODGE ANY CHALLENGERS GET IT FLEX!!!” Busta wrote on Instagram. “AAAAARRRGGHH!!!! TWO MISSILES TONIGHT!!! @funkflex YOU READY!!!!”
“Funk Flex, is you ready homie?” Busta said in his IG post as he laughed into the camera.
He followed it up the next day with another Instagram post showcasing his reaction to hearing the two new tracks premiered on Flex’s radio program. The beat to one of the tracks with Swizz appears to be a sped-up version of KRS-One’s 1997 hit “Step Into A World (Rapture’s Delight),” which was built around the popular break beat “The Champ” by The Mohawks. Busta opens the song with a nod to his own track “Tear The Roof Off.”
Rap royalty from all over slid into Busta’s comments to offer their support, including Questlove, Royce Da 5’9 and Snoop Dogg, who wrote, “Don’t u dare wake the dragon.”
