Flatbush, Brooklyn rapper Busta Rhymes might be late on celebrating the Year of the Dragon, but he's doing so anyway with this follow-up EP.

Busta Rhymes is continuing to impress with his latest mini stretch of releases, and that includes Dragon Season... Equinox. This is the Brooklyn icon's second EP of 2025 following up on Dragon Season... The Awakening. That one arrived on January 17 with six tracks and a lone guest appearance from YG Marley. Equinox ups the count to seven and brings out plenty more features in the process. The seven-minute opener, "Get On Your Job," brings five acts together in Trillian, J-Doe, Te Money, Connie Diiamond, and BK Gudda.

But there are many others onboard including Stacy Barthe, Vybz Kartel, Killer Mike, Akon, and more. Like The Awakening, Busta Rhymes decided to drop one cut ahead of schedule, that being "Crazy." We mentioned in our write-up for the preceding EP that Busabus was sounding more like himself. The more diverse sound palette compared to his last LP just fits him better all-around compared to the more clean and refurbished beats. That is the same on Equinox, especially on tracks like "Riot 2 Mammoth" and "Fathers of Civilization." Overall, we are ready to hear how these two EPs are going to fit in place once Dragon Season arrives on March 28. For now, check out what Busta Rhymes is offering up below.

He's taken the previous experience and used it to become a jack of all trades at HotNewHipHop. Zach has thoroughly enjoyed tackling some of the trending topics in sports, with a larger focus on hip-hop and pop culture. Some of those include Bronny James's draft stock, a multitude of angles swirling around the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, as well as Diddy's arrest and lawsuits. Separate from the headlines that everyone wants to hear about, he was fortunate enough to help spread Zaytoven's current thoughts at the time around mid-December in 2023. Even though being able to give his expertise on these stories is fulfilling, being able to share his passion for releases trumps that ever so slightly. Having the chance to express his excitement indirectly about what he thinks our readers should be checking out/revisiting grows his passion for writing that much more.
