Bleep

The Get On Down label brings a hallmark rap LP back to vinyl for the first time in over 5 years with this reissue of Busta Rhymes’ 1996 solo debut The Coming. Fresh off the unraveling of his precocious teenaged rap group the Leaders of the New School Busta went on a streak of well-hyped features and singles that hinted at his prowess, but it’s The Coming that cemented his status. Tracks like ‘Everything Remains Raw’ and ‘Still Shining’ boast air-tight beats that mostly stay out of the way of Busta’s dexterous flows, while the moodier numbers like ‘Keep It Moving’ are musically and thematically rich in ways that suggest an artist far beyond his years.
