Busta Rhymes Announces Deluxe 25th Anniversary Edition of 'The Coming'

Famed MC Busta Rhymes is celebrating the 25th anniversary of his 1996 debut solo album, The Coming, with a special deluxe version.

The 36-song tracklist is set to feature never-before-released instrumental versions of the album’s original 12 songs, remastered audios and hard-to-find remixes. Amongst the elaborate editions of the rapper’s debut album, the album also includes nearly a dozen bonus versions of some of the rapper’s most iconic hip-hop anthems like, “Woo Hah!! Got you All In Check” and “It’s a Party”.

The 25th anniversary deluxe album will, in fact, include eight bonus versions of the hit classic “Woo Hah!!,” many of which have never been released until now. Busta fans will also be treated with a new World Wide remix that features a new verse from the late Wu-Tang Clan rapper, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, a DJ Scratch Albany Projects remix and acapella version and a Jay-Dee Bounce remix produced by the legendary J Dilla.

Busta has teased fans with an early release of Jay-Dee Bounce Remix of “Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check”, which is now available to listen to below.

The digital-only release of The Coming is set to reissue on April 16.
