Busta Rhymes and J Dilla Reportedly Reuniting for New Album<\/h2>\n

Busta Rhymes and J Dilla are reportedly reuniting for a new album this year.<\/p>\n

\n The Flipmode Squad frontman held a listening session in New York City on Thursday night
\n (February 20) for Dillagence 2<\/em>, the sequel to his and Dilla\u2019s original 2007 mixtape.\n<\/p>\n

\n Joined by Statik Selektah and DJ Tony Touch, Busta gave a room full of lucky fans and friends
\n a first opportunity to hear the project \u2014 which appears to include a collaboration with Lil Wayne.\n<\/p>\n

\n Statik reportedly shared a brief snippet on his Instagram Stories that seemingly features Weezy,
\n tagging the Young Money superstar in the clip. If confirmed, it would mark the first time fans hear
\n Lil Wayne rapping over J Dilla production.\n<\/p>\n

\n Announcing Dillagence 2<\/em> ahead of the listening party on Instagram, Busta wrote:\n<\/p>\n

\n

\n \u201cTHE BLESSINGS DON\u2019T STOP SO WE DON\u2019T STOP!!! NEVERRR!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!! BUSTA RHYMES x J DILLA
\n NEW ALBUM!! POP UP LISTENING SESSION TONIGHT!!\u201d\n <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Further details, including a release date and tracklist, have not yet been revealed.<\/p>\n
