Is there any slowing down Busta Rhymes these days? The hip-hop veteran continues to push forward and comes through with a hard-hitting ‘OK’ music video featuring a CGI-created Young Thug - yup, Thugger - and Cool & Dre.

Busta Rhymes teams with Young Thug for their ‘OK’ music video

It’s wild to see how far technology has come proving while Thugger continues to fight for his freedom from behind bars, his presence is still felt more than ever with Busta’s newest visual.

Busta Rhymes, never one to shy away from leaning into his creative curiosities, flaunts his unique approach yet again with the arrival of the latest music video off his 2023 album Blockbusta, “OK” f/ Young Thug. The video, directed by Busta Rhymes himself and Gaudens Zulu is now available. 

OK” is one of the standout records on Busta’s latest studio album, BLOCKBUSTA, released in November 2023, and continues to be one of the LP’s highest-streamed songs on Spotify. Appropriately, Busta arrives with a truly unique video and a first time ever visual experience which again propels himself and the legacy of his work to another groundbreaking level for the song “OK” and his incredible 10th solo album BLOCKBUSTA.  

The mini movie begins with a CGI version of Young Thug, clad in an eccentric outfit as one can expect from the real-life Thugger, rapping his enthralling verse as AI in a virtual desert environment. He delivers a magnetizing performance.  Busta Rhymes enters the frame, in regal fashion, sturdy and as poised, effortlessly unleashing earth-shattering lyrics with a knifing flow that fans have come to expect from the rap legend.

“OK” is the latest of BLOCKBUSTA’S standout records to receive a cinematic accompaniment. Busta’s collaboration with BIA, “Beach Ball,” was granted a movie esque visual; the pair also performed the record live at the 2023 BET Awards. The Coi Leray-featured “Luxury Life” and “Big Everything,” which features DaBaby and T-Pain, have also received short films to this point, generating over 30 million views combined. 

Busta Rhymes, considered one of the greatest rap artists of all-time and a pioneer in both the Hip Hop and general music spaces, is a 12-time GRAMMY nominee, a testament to his longevity and influence. In 2023, he was a pivotal part of Hip Hop’s celebration of its 50th anniversary, contributing to tributes at the Grammy, Awards, BET Awards, where he also received the coveted Lifetime Achievement Award, and Good Morning America, among many others.

Young Thug promises Atlanta runs the rap game

In a recent interview, Thugger dished on what just made the A super special and why he didn’t see any other city overtaking the rap scene like his own hometown.

“The Southern hospitality, man. It’s Black, it’s just Black as f*ck. The youth kinda own everything, the newer generation run everything. Everybody got hearts, everybody love each other — well, for the most part. It ain’t that many haters. … I don’t see no city taking over Atlanta - because we steady having new artists come from Atlanta, bruh, and we getting bigger and bigger and bigger. The biggest artists that are popping right now are from Atlanta. We gon’ keep going higher and higher. I don’t see no other city gaining the number one spot again. We got it.”

Earning multiple 5-star reviews, and heralded by Rolling Stone as an album where ‘Thug is at his most grounded’, with Vulture adding that ‘Thug is doing whatever he wants. Everyone else is meeting the challenge’, PUNK has ushered in a new era of Thugger both sonically and aesthetically, and has been embraced globally by fans and critics alike.  

300 Entertainment CEO Kevin Liles knew how much of an achievement this was for both YT and the label. He’s since dished on Thugger’s latest career achievement.

“Artist development and evolution are the biggest forms of currency in the sustainability and relevancy of an artist in the entertainment industry. Young Thug’s undeniable dedication, vision, and relentless work ethic are unmatched and show how much he has doubled down on his artistry. I’m proud of Young Thug for not only checking the boxes, but creating his own space outside of the box. Though we have been by Young Thug’s side for eight years, his two number one albums in one year is only the beginning of his story.”

Thugger hit up his Instagram page to share the now-infamous classic scene from the series’ first episode. Thug is shown as actor Anupam Tripathi’s Abdul Ali character holding up Baby who has his face in place of actor Lee Jung-jae’s Seong Gi-Hun.

Watt co-produced and co-wrote two tracks on the album, “Hate The Game” and “Fifth Day Dead,” which come on the heels of what has been an extraordinary Fall for the multi-platinum producer, songwriter and musician.

It’s way deeper than rap

Don’t confuse Watt as just sticking to the hip-hop game. He’s also responsible for adding his sound to both Elton John and Ed Sheeran’s latest albums.

In August, Eddie Vedder unveiled the Watt produced track “Tender Mercies,” from The Flag Day film soundtrack, and in September he released “The Long Way,” the first single off Vedder’s forthcoming solo album Earthling, also produced by Watt. Following was Elton John’s long awaited studio opus The Lockdown Sessions, for which Watt produced and co-wrote six new tracks including; “Finish Line” (featuring Elton John and Stevie Wonder), “Simple Things” (featuring Elton John and Brandi Carlile), “Stolen Car” (featuring Elton John and Stevie Nicks), “Nothing Else Matters” (featuring Miley Cyrus, WATT, Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Chad Smith and and Robert Trujillo), “E Ticket” (featuring Elton john and Eddie Vedder), and “Always Love You” (featuring Elton John, Young Thug and Nicki Minaj).
