Busta Rhymes added to Bestival 2014 line up

There's more hip hop swagger on the way to Bestival this summer as following on from the earlier announcement of Outkast headlining this year's shindig, the one and only Busta Rhymes has been added to the line up. The legendary rapper has an enviable career in the genre, given his moniker from an impressed Chuck D of political tyros Public Enemy before becoming a member of the Native Tongues movement as the lead rapper in the genre's golden age doyens Leaders of the New School.

His solo career has made him on the true greats of the genre, working with the likes of Dr Dre (the brilliant 'Break Your Neck' above one of the fruits of their labour), Janet Jackson, Ozzy Osbourne, Erykah Badu and every rapper worth their salt over the past twenty years.

He's maintained his relevancy as well, signed to Cash Money Records alongside Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne whilst recently releasing the brilliant The Abstract And the Dragon mixtape alongside another old school icon Q-Tip. Put simply, he's easily one of hte most important and entertaining rapers you can catch this summer, and a worthy addition to the Bestival 2014 show.
