@playahaitian this is busta’s problem. You have all these artists signed to you, but you won’t give them the push by placing them on your album or any remixes
Current acts
Current acts
- Busta Rhymes
- Spliff Star
- J-Doe
- O.T. Genasis
- Murda Mook
- Stove God Cooks
- Prayah
- Trillian
I'm trying to think who was under Busta from flip mode to today who he had a direct hand in blowing up?
Rah Digga?
does Roc Marcino count? Cause I don not think so....
hold on Stove God STILL under Busta? (which is crazy cause he got an album of the year candidate with Roc production)
I love Busta... but he gets NO credit for that brother current work.
O.T. is a money maker... is that REALLY Busta?
I aint nothing from Mook
Trillian and J-Doe I HEARD of but not seriously.
Roc Marci absolutely doesn’t count. Busta tried to have him blackballed but it backfired because Roc had good relationships with everyone busta called to tell not to work with him. O.T. made his own lane really big singles but never a follow up. The stove god roc connection is busta trying to make amends for what he pulled with roc
Buss F*CKED UP with Roc
and its crazy cause by all accounts Bus is a really good dude.
And he got Roc EARLY
Roc has been a crazy successful independent artist SINCE and linked up with Griselda.
Not bad at ALL
It was crazy when I heard Busta on like 2 Griselda records I DID raise an eyebrow
but I like that everyone has been able to move past and work together.
I hope ONE DAY ( I doubt it ) that Mach Hommy can also return to the Griselda camp
Especially since it seems they ALL will be leaving Shady soon.

New York Drill Rapper CJ Is Nothing But a Shameless Ripoff
Currently sitting at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, CJ’s “Whoopty” is the biggest-ever New York drill song not made by Pop Smoke. Through a combination of TikTok virality and a traditional push on the city’s airwaves—which was no doubt aided by the fact that CJ’s uncle, James Cruz, was once the president of Bad Boy Entertainment—the Staten Island rapper has shot up the ranks behind the weight of a single song.
Late last year, during an interview on a low-budget YouTube show called Talking Nasty with Ricky, CJ mentioned how “Whoopty” was the first drill song he ever made. It sounds like it. The beat’s Bollywood sample was used to better effect on Memo600 and King Von’s 2019 track “Exposing Me,” and the raps are borderline 22Gzkaraoke. He doesn’t have anything to say or know a fresh way to say it.
CJ’s new single “Bop” is another retread. The slickness of the way he raps the word “slide” on the hook clearly mimics Coach Da Ghost’s signature ad-lib, and his dance moves in the video make it feel like you’re watching a parody that doesn’t realize it’s a parody. Regardless, he signed a deal with Warner earlier this month and is currently preparing to release his debut EP, executive-produced by French Montana (who has similarly butchered drill beats in the past).
The discussion of originality has always been attached to New York’s drill music. We’re only about four years removed from the days when it was strictly considered a diluted version of a Chicago style. Or when Pop Smoke was accused of ripping off another peer, Sheff G. But Pop was eventually able to put his own spin on the subgenre’s bulging sound; I don’t believe CJ ever will.
The CJ experiment appears to be nothing more than a cash grab—backed by an unholy combination of New York rap royalty, Spotify playlists, TikTok, and major labels desperate to find the next big hit. You could probably say the same about the emergence of Dusty Locane, who unmistakably sounds like Pop Smoke. He’s also from the same Brooklyn neighborhood as Pop and even repeats the same ad-libbed chants of “Dior! Dior!” Unlike CJ, Dusty’s songs (there are only three) are kind of irresistible, though it’s hard not to feel like they’re just temporarily filling a void.
Even with these copycats taking center stage, I still feel like better things are ahead for New York drill, with newcomers like Bizzy Banks, 26AR, and Rocko Ballin currently twisting the style in fresh directions. But for now, we’ll have to power through while watching the New York rap ecosystem try to cover up CJ’s ripoffs with big numbers.

Ok i am happy my first gut reaction was accurate...
The fact that he’s related to James Cruz explains how he got on that remix
yo I aint no expert in Brooklyn drill
and a lot of is cookie cutter
but damn this kid wack, he basic, they should call him CJ Maxxx
he discount
but I can SEE THE MONEY in the videos.
he can't rap.
again these drill rappers aint super lyrical miracles by any means
but there is a STYLE and FLOW necessary
Pop sounded like Prime 50 Cent doing drill (RIP)
Favio even though his bars are BASIC as f*ck he got a personality and delivery I like.
I will try to listen to the other dudes that were mentioned.
sidebar...
I know I am in the minority
but I aint really heard no one outta BKrecently hit harder and better then Young MA.
still
