Trevor Tahiem Smith, Jr. (born on May 20, 1972), better known as Busta Rhymes, is an American hip hop musician and actor. Chuck D of Public Enemy gave him the name Busta Rhymes (from former NFL football player George “Buster” Rhymes) after watching him perform.Trevor was born in Brooklyn, New York, and is of Jamaican heritage. At the age of 12, his family moved to Uniondale, a suburb of New York City on Long Island, where he was raised and eventually met up with other rappers from the growing New York area hip hop community. He graduated from Uniondale High School in Long Island, where he was a star basketball player.
Style:
Rhymes has an atypical and distinguishable style. He is known by fans for versatility in flow, delivery and subject matter. [citation needed] Probably his best-known trademark is the roars and grunts such as “Woo-Hah”, “Ha!”, “Bwah!” that serve as his adlibs, along with his distinguishable voice. Rapping quickly is also a distinctive feature of Busta. In the 1990s, each of Busta’s solo albums contained a lengthy and dramatic intro skit as the first track, each announcing the progressively shorter time until the turn of the millennium, and predicting at that time that there would be a cataclysmic event.
