Yesterday (October 24), Busta Ryhmes posted a video on Instagram to announce his new album. Due out November 24, Blockbusta will be executively produced Swizz Beatz, Pharrell, and Timbaland.
The three producers joined him for the video to announce the drop, with Swizzy saying, “This project right here is executive produced by the fucking committee — Pharrell the Pharaoh, Timbo the King, Swizz Beatz the student.”
“I’m so grateful that you chose me to be a part of your legacy,” Timbaland chimes in, and Pharrell adds, “You really feel illuminated. This illumination is good because I think people gon’ be able to get and feel that.”

Busta has been showing support for his peers for hip hop’s 50th anniversary. In May, he surprised Janet Jackson with a cake for her 57th birthday and helped her perform their joint track “What’s It Gonna Be?!,” for the first time since its release in 1998. He also expressed his love for Missy Elliot when asked if he would face off with her in a Verzuz battle, calling her his twin.
