Cash Money Records rapper Busta Rhymes is preparing to make it a hot summer after reportedly hooking up with fellow hip-hop heavyweight Eminem for a new track called "Calm Down." #CalmDown
According to producer Scoop Deville, the mystery track could premiere as early as next week.
“That’s the next record that’s going to, I’d say, destroy the streets of New York and hip-hop in a lot of ways. That record is something that we’ve been putting together for a minute. It’s not just like an overnight thing. We’ve been trying to make this ‘the’ record to bring back Busta in a major way.” (VLAD TV)
Along with the Busta track, Detroit rapper Trick Trick is expected to have his own Eminem-featured song premiere in the coming days.
“NEW @TRICKTRICKGS and @Eminem song comin exclusively to 955 on July 4th!! Produced by @AnttBeatz #Shady955 #DetroitLove,” a tweet read from Detroit station Channel 955 on June 22. (Channel 955’s Twitter)
Outside of new music, it seems like Slim Shady’s old lyrics have cost him an opportunity to perform at United Kingdom’s Hyde Park concert venue.
“This artist flagged risks across the board. In particular in respect of our public reputation,” said Royal Parks CEO Linda Lennon. “The nature of any act with potential for lyrics to be deemed offensive and/or unsuitable language being audible within the park as a whole, let alone the surrounding residential areas, is unacceptable.” (Ace Showbiz)
Buzz behind Em having a ban against him bubbled online a few weeks ago.
Eminem’s Hyde Park gig was supposed to be a part of AEG’s Barclaycard British Summer Time festival that’s scheduled to open on July 3. Last month, rumors swirled claiming that the Detroit MC wasn’t allowed to perform at the event because his lyrics “have been accused of being homophobic, provocative and pretty sweary.” The festival is now set to continue with Arcade Fire, Black Sabbath and Neil Young among musicians who will take the stage.
