Possessor of the most recognizable delivery in rap music, a halting, ragga-inspired style with incredible complexity, inventiveness, and humor, Busta Rhymes will hit the stage in support of his new CD, The Big Bang. A seasoned rap veteran in an industry filled with one-hit wonders, Busta has managed to reinvent himself time after time, and successfully score a big club hit with each album. With his latest single "Touch It," from his highly-anticipated Aftermath label (Dr. Dre) debut album, Busta is once again burning up the dance floor. The Big Bang is Busta’s follow up to 2002’s platinum smash It Ain’t Safe No More. Busta Rhymes first burst on to the scene with the 1996 solo hit single, "Woo-Hah!! Got You All in Check."



Keyshia Cole is the real deal. Like many young people raised in a tough neighborhood, the 21-year-old songstress endured a tumultuous childhood in Oakland, California, and has fought all her life to keep her dream of a music career alive. Now she's realizing that dream on her own terms with her first album for the A&M label, The Way It Is. It's been a long road for Keyshia, but it's her powerful voice-- a bell-like instrument whose soaring clarity is topped off with a tantalizing touch of soulful grit -- that's carried her through, not to mention the diminutive singer's personal combination of sugar, spice, sass and sex appeal, along with a solid-steel spine.



Initially best known as the youngest Hot Boy, Lil Wayne grew up quickly and enjoyed a steady stream of hits in the process. The New Orleans rapper began his long stint with Cash Money as part of the Hot Boys, a popular late-'90s supergroup also comprised of Juvenille, Turk and B.G., that set the stage for respective solo careers. His hit solo tracks include “Tha Block Is Hot,” “Way of Life” and “Go DJ”.





Grand Hustle/Atlantic recording artist Young Dro conquered urban radio with the “Shoulder Lean,” his hit single featuring rapper and labelmate T.I.The Atlanta-based rapper's major label debut, Best Thang Smokin’ will be released August 29th. Best Thang Smokin’ features production by some of today's hip-hop heavyweights, including Jazze Pha, Chad West, Keith Mack, and Grand Hustle's own Khao and Lil C. The album not only features collaborations with labelmate T.I. but also Slim Thug and Xtaci.
