Trevor Smith Jr.

The genius of hip-hop Busta Rhimes early tore the laurels of popularity and success. A talented rapper with innate leadership qualities, he confidently occupied a musical niche back in the late 80s and still does not give up. Basta's interests go beyond music: a man acts in films and tries himself in the role of a fashion designer.

The birthplace of the legend of American rap is Brooklyn. Here in the East Flatbush area on May 20, 1972, a boy was born, who was named Trevor Smith. The musician is the full namesake of his father, whose ancestors lived in Jamaica. The young man grew up under the incendiary motives of reggae, from early childhood he had tender feelings for music.

Another ability that the future Basta distinguished was his high growth (185 cm), and heroic strength and incredible dexterity were added to him.

As a teenager, the boy became interested in basketball and showed great promise, the coaches promised the student a brilliant sports career. Rhimes often notes in interviews that if it were not for his love of music, he would definitely connect his life with playing ball.

When Trevor was 12 years old, the family moved to Long Island, where the first steps of the rapper took place at the suggestion of new acquaintances.

The creative biography of the young musician started off more than successfully. Having gained a little skill, Basta went to a rapper competition, where he met Charlie Brown, who later became a friend and colleague. To overcome their embarrassment and fear, the guys decided to perform together. Young rappers managed to catch two birds with one stone: the commission highly appreciated the quality of the reading, and at the same time they were noticed by the representative of the music company "PUBLIC ENEMY", offering to record songs in a studio.

Beginning performers found two more teenagers, forming a group called "LONS" (abbreviation for leaders of new school). Lady Luck favored young people - when Baste turned 17, Electra Records became interested in the musical group. The band soon celebrated the signing of a contract with this famous studio.

Electra Records drew attention to rappers for a reason - LONS has already outgrown the yard level, becoming an equal player in the show business market and even the founder of a new hip-hop school. The group thundered on the East Coast with marijuana propaganda, strong Afrocentric views and a couple of albums. Over time, the collective became the most influential in rapper circles.

However, cooperation within one group lasted only until 1993. The guys broke up, promising to meet someday and create another album.

Rhimes set sail free. In the world of rap, already at that time there were legends about him, fans were looking forward to the fruits of creativity in a solo form. And already in 1996, Basta delighted fans with his first personal album "The Coming" in the form of gangsta rap, and since then has traveled around the world with concerts.

This disc became fateful: beginning rappers suddenly began to join Rhimes, forming the Flipmode Squad. The singer passed on the experience of young people and unnoticed for himself found a large musical family, where he found understanding, support, and drew new ideas.

Basta's solo albums came out one after another. "ELE - The Final World Front" was a bright disc: artists Ozzy Osbourne and Janet Jackson took part in the album. In the future, the rapper invited many stars to his work. For example, singer Mariah Carey and The Flipmode Squad had a hand in the song “I Know What You Want”. The track made a splash in the circles of music lovers, remaining at the top of the American charts for a long time. Later, a video was shot for the composition.

In 2014, Basta recorded the track "Calm Down" in a duet with Eminem. It turned out to be a kind of 6-minute rap duel. There was also a collaboration with DJ Tiesto in his career.

Basta Rhimes also became famous for the songs "Break Ya Neck" and "TouchIt", which also found their videos. The musician's work has been awarded eleven Grammy nominations. Soon, directors began to invite the popular rapper to shoot high-budget films. Among his films "Find Forrester", "Drug Lord", "Halloween: Resurrection". In 2006, he got the lead role in the film "Warriors of Justice", and in 2009 - in the action movie "Breaking Point".

In 2018, the rapper took part in the creation of the documentary "Prison Survival Guide". In this film, he did not have to get used to the role, he appeared as a cameo performer.

Rhimes is a father with many children and has four children. For the first time, the rapper almost became a dad back in 1993, but his common-law wife Joan Wood had a premature birth, the child did not live even two hours. A year later, the girl still gave Baste an heir, who was named Ti'Zia, and then Joan gave birth to two more sons and a daughter.

The musician is seen in legal scandals. Once the police detained Rhimes for illegal possession of a machine gun, which was found in the car. Once again, I had to answer in court for the fact that by phone he threatened the common-law spouse with violence, who did not close her eyes to rudeness and wrote a statement.

And in 2015, he was arrested in New York after an incident at the gym. The musician had a conflict with a fitness club employee. As a result, the rapper threw a shaker at him, which contained about half a liter of strawberry protein drink. He hit the man in the head. Eyewitnesses reported that the hall worker did not allow the rapper to bring a cameraman to the training, which caused a dispute.

Judging by this news, Basta Rhimes is trying to keep fit through training and sports diets, although he prefers not to advertise this on Instagram. Indeed, fans have noted that their favorite has gained a lot in recent years. It looks like the fit and muscular artist has disappeared forever. If in his youth his weight was about 90 kg, today this figure is close to 115.

Rhimes is a versatile personality. He opened and develops his own record company. The man is also the author of the Bushi clothing line and Bustagrip footwear. And the rapper is quite a religious person, in 2007 he converted to Islam and is a member of the Islamic sect "Nation of Gods and Lands".

The musician has repeatedly become the face of advertising campaigns. In 2009, together with rapper 50 Cent, they appeared in alcohol commercials. They advertised Leyrat cognac and a new product - Sparkling Vodka carbonated vodka.

In recent years, the career of Basta Rhimes is going through hard times, fans are already waiting for the musician's new album. It is no longer easy to remember when Rhimes' last studio album came out. It was back in 2012 - then the disc “Yearof the Dragon”, timed to coincide with the Year of the Dragon according to the Eastern calendar, was released.

True, it is worth noting that in 2016 he took part in the recording of the album A Tribe Called Quest. And he releases singles regularly. For example, in February 2018 he presented the track "GetIt", recorded with the participation of Missy Elliott and Kelly Rowland. But, whatever one may say, this is far from a solo album.

In August 2017, Basta Rhimes presented his new song "Girlfriend", according to him, this is the first single from his future album. He also said that in the new album he decided to return to his roots. For his recording, he invited Jamaican dancehall star Vybz Kartel.

True, there are no more details about the future disc, but as the artist himself stated, the disc will appear in 2018.

The rap artist never stops touring the world. In 2017, he visited Russia twice - in the summer he performed at the White Nights of St. Petersburg festival, and in the fall he sang on the stage of the Bravo music award. In an interview, the artist admitted that he was fascinated by Moscow and the beauty of Russian women.

In February 2018, Rhimes performed in an unusual role. Together with singer Missy Elliott, he became a rap coach for actors Peter Dinklage, who played Tyrion Lannister in the fantasy saga Game of Thrones, and the legendary Morgan Freeman.

The stars of the screens staged a rap battle as part of the American sporting event called "Super Bowl", which combines a bright football battle and performances by world-class show business representatives.

Battle has taken on the look of a funny commercial where Basta and Missy teach the actors how to rap. The authors managed to create a spectacular sketch based on the "Song of Ice and Fire" out of advertising for chips and soda.
