This is the second track of Busta Rhymes' “Extinction Level Event” album. It was released in 1998 as the last of his ‘trilogy’, so to speak, of albums.
The beat that was used has a sample from “If Tomorrow Never Comes” by The Controllers. Makes sense, since it fits the apocalyptic themes mentioned...
