The ragga inspired rapper with the rapid-fire delivery and truly unique stage presence has nine dates on the books so far, focusing on the East Coast and Southern states.

Busta will likely be sporting clothes of his own making; his Bushi Designs clothing line is now up and running, adding another credit to his multimedia resumé. Aside from playing live and making those wacky Mountain Dew commercials, he also starred in the movie “Shaft” and released an album – Anarchy – featuring DMX, Jay Z, Lenny Kravitz, Raekwon and others. And that’s just this year.

Busta was supposed to be on some of the Rhyme & Reason tour with the Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine. That idea bit the dust along with Beastie Boy Mike D’s shoulder. But Busta still managed to get in front of his fans this summer, playing radio festivals and making special appearances.
