Trevor George Smith Jr., known professionally as Busta
Rhymes, is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer and actor.
He began rapping at the age of 12, when he moved from Brooklyn to Long Island. He then started going to contests and eventually met what he wanted to be.
Busta Rhymes became the toast of the American hip-hop community with the release of his Elektra Records debut, "The Coming," in 1996.
Although offering nothing outstanding in its lyrics, album tracks such as "Everything Remains Raw" and "It's A Party" highlighted his compelling ragga-influenced delivery to good effect, and the catchy single "Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check" broke into the US Top 10.

Busta Rhymes had originally rapped as part of the highly praised Leaders Of The New School, with MC Charlie Brown, Dinco
D and Milo In De Dance, releasing the acclaimed "A Future Without A Past" in
1991.
Attempts to promote
"The Coming" in the UK ended in disaster. His planned performance at the Kentish
Town Forum in May ended in calamity when delays in securing a work permit
prevented him from appearing. Outraged fans caused damage after they rioted in
protest.
Busta Rhymes released the ambitious US Top 5 album "When Disaster Strikes" in September 1997, exploring pre-millennial fears and the future of rap. The album included a powerful duet with Erykah Badu on "One" and "Turn It Up/Fire It Up," with a remix of the latter entering the US Top 10. The track also provided Rhymes with his highest UK chart placing the following April when it debuted at number 2.
The same year he released "The Imperial Album" as part of the Flipmode Squad, a collaborative project with rappers Rampage, Lord Have Mercy, Spliff Star, Rah Digga and Baby Sham. Rhymes' fascination with film helped form the same year's "Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front," which took its title from the disaster movie "Deep Impact."

The frenetic "Gimme Some More" reached number 5 in the UK singles chart in January 1999. Busta Rhymes enjoyed further
transatlantic success in April when the highly catchy "What's It Gonna Be?!," featuring
Janet Jackson, reached the US and UK Top 10.
Rhymes has kept up his frantic work rate, juggling his music career with his acting roles. In 2000 he worked on several movie projects, including the remake of "Shaft," and released his final album for Elektra, "Anarchy."
Among his other ventures, he founded the record label Conglomerate (initially
Flipmode Entertainment) and the production crew The Conglomerate (formerly
Flipmode Squad). About.com included him on its list of the 50 Greatest MCs of
Our Time (1987–2007), while Steve Huey of AllMusic called him one of the best
and most prolific rappers of the 1990s. In 2012, The Source placed him on their
list of the Top 50 Lyricists of All Time. MTV has called him "one of hip-hop's
greatest visual artists".
