Busta Rhymes began rapping at age 12 in his native Brooklyn and in the late 1980s formed Leaders of the New School, a hip-hop group whose first album, “Future Without a Past,” earned critical praise and popular support.

Rhymes gained wide notice for his work on A Tribe Called Quest’s 1991 classic “Scenario.” He released his first solo album, “The Coming,” in 1996, and it went multi-platinum.

In 1997, his album “Disaster Strikes” made its debut a No. 3 on the charts and sold more than 1.5 million copies. The following year, the album “Extinction Level Event” featured the hit “Gimme Some More.”

Rhymes, who has appeared in such movies as “Who’s the Man,” “Strapped” and “Higher Learning,” owns his own record company, Flipmode Entertainment.

Rhymes has been touring to promote his album “Genesis.”
