Busta Rhymes Says J Dilla Gave Him Over 300 Beats Before He Died

by Benny Franklin

2020 has been a busy year for Busta Rhymes...

After challenging T.I. to a Verzuz Battle, and being declined, Busta dropped his new album Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath of God on October 30th.

While on a press run and in a recent interview with GQ, Busta revealed that he received three hundred instrumentals from the late great producer.

"J Dilla left me with over 300 beats before he passed. I'm extremely selective with who I give them to, which is why I haven't given them to anybody except Raekwon and that was for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Part Two. I think he has about four Dilla joints on that project. Three actually, "House Of The Flying Daggers," "Ason Jones," and "10 Bricks." 

I've always tried to represent and uphold the legacy of the late, great J Dilla, through all of my albums. You know what I'm saying? I think the only album I probably didn't have them on was Back On My Bullshit. I'm a huge fan of Dilla, I 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."
