“What It Is” is Busta Rhymes' first single of 2001, following his departure from Elektra Records earlier in the year. It is also his first ever collaboration with singer Kelis, although they would later hook up for Busta’s 2006 hit, “I Love My Bitch”, along with Will.i.Am.
The track was originally...
[Intro: Busta Rhymes]
