[Shaheem Reid]
Yo what's going, this is Shaheem Reid
It's been an honor and a privilege to help bring you
Another Catastrophic mixtape, Catastrophic: Part 2
Another classic from the Conglomerate

And um, we got y'all man
You don't even gotta wait a long time
It's only gonna be a matter of a few weeks

O.T. Genasis is coming with that "Alarm" mixtape

J-Doe, he's dropping that "Her Name was Diamond" mixtape

And the general of the whole squad, Busta Rhymes, I ain't even gonna tell you what he got coming
It's something classic, just calm down
You hear that beat in the background
Calm down, the Conglomerate got y'all from the summer for next year, everything number of classic records, man

And speaking of classic records, I know you done heard the most monumental moment of the year
Two legends, two gladiators, coming together on one track
Busta Rhymes featuring Eminem: Calm Down
The record that everybody's talking about, available now, everywhere

Conglomerate, the label, the movement

Busta Rhymes is a Grammy-nominated rapper, producer, and actor. Born Trevor George Smith, Jr. on May 20, 1972 in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York City, he would later move to Uniondale, Long Island but attended high school in Brooklyn with the likes of JAY-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., and Special Ed. Prior to his graduation from Uniondale High School in 1990, Busta joined Dinco D, Charlie Brown, and Cut Monitor Milo to from Leaders of the New School. The group opened for Public Enemy and their frontman Chuck D gave Chill-O-Ski the name Busta Rhymes after NFL wide receiver George “Buster” Rhymes.

Leaders of the New School released two albums, A Future Without a Past… (1991) and T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind’s Eye) (1993), before splitting after an intense interview with Yo! MTV Raps. Busta’s popularity began to rise with his appearances on A Tribe Called Quest’s “Scenario” in 1991 and its remix in 1992, as well as the remix to Craig Mack’s “Flava in Ya Ear” in 1994.

This led to Busta releasing his platinum debut album The Coming in 1996, featuring the platinum single “Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check.” Busta’s subsequent four albums all went platinum, while It Ain’t Safe No More… and The Big Bang achieved gold status. He also released several international hits, including “Dangerous,” “What’s It Gonna Be?” with Janet Jackson, and “I Know What You Want” with Mariah Carey, as well as being featured on the #1 hits “Don’t Cha” with the Pussycat Dolls and “Look At Me Now” with Chris Brown and Lil Wayne.
