Busta Rhymes has taxen to wax to honor the memory of D’Angelo, releasing a touching new tribute song called “Magic.”
Premiered by Okayplayer, the track finds Bus-a-Bus spitting over D’Angelo’s “One Mo’ Gin” instrumental and celebrating the late singer’s talent, impact and legacy.
After recalling how he first met the Voodoo virtuoso at a Tribe Called Quest studio session in the early ’90s, Busta spits in a spoken word flow: “The shit he did cut deep in the soul, hit the center of your core / Oh yes, we wanted more! Damn right, we wanted more! / We could not get enough of the god, damn, he was so charismatic / Every body of work he contributed to culture ended up being a classic / Type of shit that made a n*gga romantic together with his woman, climactic / Thank God He gave you to us as a gift that kept giving us this magic.”
