In the dancehall community recording artist Elephant Man is known as the energy king; I think that Busta Rhymes is the hip-hop equivalent of Elephant Man. Bussa Bus, as he is affectionately called, is one of the most entertaining, energetic and captivating rapper in all of hip-hop.

A few days ago he released the official video for the remix of “Czar.” The collaborative record features CJ and M.O.P.; and all the men were present for the video.
