Busta Rhymes and BIA have teamed up for the first summer jam, “Beach Ball.”
The song — which will be featured on the former Leader of the New School member’s forthcoming album — features bouncy beats and catchy rhymes, and of course, BIA at her raunchy finest with Busta doing his usual dark and deep cadence.

“See I inflated the plot/ ever since the day of crack sales, I upgraded the block, n-gga,” he spits. “Yeah/ Louis and that Gucci make a bug in Bergdorf/ Take me to a dressing room and gimme top ’til she coughin’/ Waterfallin’, suckin’ on these beach balls/ and all these bitches walkin’ ’round me/ talkin’ ’bout, ‘I miss y’all.’”
The official video for the song is also dropping on Friday (June 23), and you can check it out below.
Fans of the Hip Hop mainstay were curious early last week when he cleared out his entire Instagram page, leaving behind just a single cryptic photograph to tease fans about his next move.
On June 16, the Dungeon Dragon deleted all of his photos, including his profile photo. In its place, he left behind a picture of a beach ball, which he also made his latest profile picture.
“6.23.23 [eyes emoji],” he wrote in the caption, suggesting that this might be the “drop date” for his new album (but, as we now know, is the drop date for the “Beach Ball” single).
Fellow hitmakers such as Swizz Beatz and producer Hitmaka commented in excitement, and other Hip Hop mainstays like DJ Khaled and Dre of Cool & Dre reposted the beach ball in support.

Fans and industry professionals alike certainly can’t wait for Busta Rhymes’ latest effort, which will feature superstar production power from the likes of Swizz Beatz, Pharrell, and Timbaland.
Swizz first shared the news in a video posted to Instagram last month, in which he gave the Brooklyn rap veteran his flowers for his unique musical style, electric stage presence and long and decorated career in Hip Hop.

“This is a Busta Rhymes appreciation post,” the Ruff Ryders producer said while on a boat. “My brother’s been doing this so long, from Leaders of the New School … to headlining every major festival, tour, show. Leaders was the ’80s and Busta’s been kicking ass since [then].
“It’s 2023. My bro got all new deals, all new music coming out. I just want to take the time to say I appreciate my brother Busta Rhymes for his longevity, his distinctive style, voice. I wish everybody a long career like Busta Rhymes. He’s the biggest deal.”

He continued: “Him and Spliff Star don’t play no games on that stage doing older songs and new songs. He’s boxed with the best of ’em. He’s been on the charts with the best of ’em. And one week he was on the stage with Janet Jackson and Mary J. Blige — that’s just one week!
“Cheers to my brother Busta Rhymes for life. Wait until you hear this new music this man got. The album executive produced by Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and Pharrell. Wrap your face around what that’s gonna sound like.”
