Released: December 25, 2015

Songwriter: Busta Rhymes

Producer: Nottz

[Intro: Busta Rhymes]
Yo, let us talk about being leaders
Or, let us talk about leading anew
How about, let's talk about
Being a leader of the new school


[Excerpt from a young woman's speech]
I do want us to look at how leaders are made, right?
So, leaders are not being made
In the same way that they used to
And when leadership is being made [?]
There's no sacrifice, there's no scarring
There's no embedding of pain
There's certain things that have to go into leadership
That will sustain it
Leadership is not all popularity
It is not all fun
...Doin' things behind the shadow of a leader, right?
And another leader...
So, part of my gifting to this generation
Is to invite them to know
That there is a season and a time for everything, right?
And do not rush your time, do not rush your time
Some things have to be made through pain
And not just through the glamour of life
As we have here today
(Applauding crowd: Wow; Say it again; Preach!)

[Outro: Busta Rhymes]
As we always aspire to aspire
More greatly
Just know, there will always be
Only one Leaders of the New School
Forever!

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.
