Eminem and Busta Rhymes Join Forces for 'Calm Down'

Eminem and Busta Rhymes may have a banger for the summer in store for hip-hop heads. And luckily, you don’t have to wait too long to hear it.


Just before 11PM last night (June 26), Busta took to Twitter to announce that ‘Calm Down,’ the collaboration between him and Em, will be dropping on July 1.


This isn’t a complete surprise as producer Scoop Deville told VladTV of the collaboration earlier this year. Busta soon followed and talked a bit more about the track. “I’ve got a six-minute record with Eminem that sounds like we are respectfully trying to battle each other in a way that you probably never heard us battle in our entire careers on a record,” the New York City native said in an interview. “So it’s lot of real incredibly golden moments for us on this project.”


But this isn’t the first time they’ve joined forces. Busta and Em teamed up in the studio to record ‘I’ll Hurt You’ in 2006 — unfortunately it was never commercially released.
