Busta Rhymes Movies and Career Information

Trevor Tahiem Smith, Jr., also known as Busta Rhymes (born May 20, 1972), is an American artist, songwriter, producer and actor. Chuck D of Public Enemy gave him the alias Busta Rhymes (from former NFL wide receiver George "Buster" Rhymes). Busta was born in Redhook,Brooklyn, New York, to Jamaican parents Geraldine Green and Trevor Smith. Busta's musical career began at the age of 16 as a member of the hip hop crew Leaders of the New School along with fellow Long Island natives Charlie Brown, Dinco D, and Cut Monitor Milo. He went to Uniondale High School class of '92. LoNS began recording in 1989 and released their debut album A Future Without a Past in 1991 on Elektra Records. In early 1992 the group appeared on A Tribe Called Quest's posse cut "Scenario," in which Busta's climactic verse propelled him into the cultural consciousness. In 1993, they released T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind's Eye). Soon after, however, internal problems arose because of Busta's increasing popularity and that Busta didn't drive the LONS members to a music festival because he wanted "to get dome" from a girl, and the group broke up on the set of Yo! MTV Raps. Busta broke out with a 1996 solo hit single,
