LargeUp Audio: Busta Rhymes & Pharrell Dip Into Caribbean Rhythms On "Master Race"

Busta Rhymes & Pharrell Reconnect On "Master Race"

At the tail-end of last week, Pharrell treated us to a nostalgic preview of Sunday's episode of his OTHERtone Beats 1 program. There we found special guest Q-Tip joining the crew in studio to reminisce over the indelible greatness that was summer of '86, vibing and woping to the tune of "Eric B. Is President." We were warned of the unveiling of a never-heard Neptunes cut, but what we got was equally as enticing; a new collaborative track from Busta Rhymes, helmed by Skateboard P himself. "Master Race" shows Busta Bust & P dipping into Caribbean rhythms and patois, rekindling the "Pass The Courvoisier" spark with a bit of Supercat's laid-back delivery, as the homies over at LargeUp note, vintage slaps on the kit and a wicked synth line from the "Grindin" producer. It's a welcome return to form from the longtime collaborators and it's here for you to enjoy in all of its clanking glory. Hear Busta Rhymes and Pharrell reconnect on "Master Race" below and if you've yet to dabble in the dopeness that is OTHERtone, hit the link below to get caught up.
