Watch Busta Rhymes ‘Unleash’ the ‘Busabus’ With New Songs on ‘Fallon’


Busta Rhymes previewed songs from his upcoming album 'Dragon Season… The Awakening' on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.'

Taking the stage with his longtime hypeman Spliff Star and DJ Scratchator in coordinated Louis Vuitton-printed winter wear, Busta Rhymes first performed “Unleash Me” from the newly announced album. He next detoured into his rapid-fire verse from Chris Brown’s “Look at Me Now.” “This record went diamond the first week of 2025, thank you Breezy!” Busta said before he launched into the song (the RIAA’s official site lists its most recent certification from October 2021 at eight-times platinum). It’s his second dragon-themed album, recalling his seminal verse on A Tribe Called Quest’s “Scenario” (“Rah-rah/ Like a dungeon dragon,” famously interpolated by Nicki Minaj on “Roman’s Revenge” 18 years later).
