Busta Rhymes<\/a> has revealed that he\u2019s releasing a new album with production from the legendary late producer J Dilla<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Thursday (Feb. 19), Busta Rhymes had a listening session in New York City for the upcoming project, Dillagence 2<\/em>, which will be a sequel to the original mixtape<\/a> from 2007, put out by Busta and DJ Mick Boogie, and which likewise featured Busta, along with some special guests, rapping over Dilla beats.<\/p>\n

Busta Rhymes made it clear that his sequel was dropping in an accompanying Instagram post. <\/p>\n

\u201cTHE BLESSINGS DON\u2019T STOP SO WE DON\u2019T STOP!!! NEVERRR!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!! BUSTA RHYMES x J DILLA NEW ALBUM!! POP UP LISTENING SESSION TONIGHT!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Though details about the project are scarce, it appears to have a collaboration with Lil Wayne<\/a> on it. Staik Selektah joined Busta Rhymes for the listening event and recorded a snippet of the song being played, tagging Weezy in the clip he posted.<\/p>\n

Busta and Dilla had a close creative relationship, dating back to the Dungeon Dragon\u2019s solo debut. Some of their biggest collabs are \u201cStill Shining,\u201d \u201cTurn Me Up Some,\u201d and \u201cShow Me What You Got.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2020, Busta Rhymes spoke to GQ<\/a> <\/em>about his relationship with Dilla. <\/p>\n

\u201cJ Dilla left me with over 300 beats before he passed,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m extremely selective with who I give them to, which is why I haven\u2019t given them to anybody except Raekwon and that was for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Part Two<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always tried to represent and uphold the legacy of the late, great J Dilla, through all of my albums \u2026 I\u2019m a huge fan of Dilla,\u201d Busta continued. \u201cI think Dilla is probably top three best producers in the world. To me, my top three favorite producers ever are Dr. Dre, Q-Tip and J Dilla.\u201d<\/p>\n

News of new music from Busta Rhymes comes months after he received<\/a> the Hip Hop Icon Award from the Greater Harlem Chamber of Commerce last August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
