Busy Signal is crazy. He’s crazy talented, crazy versatile, and he’s crazy prolific. Throughout the past year or so, Busy has dropped so many hot tracks that he could have probably put out a double album. Instead, Busy’s third album, D.O.B., which drops on Wednesday, only has like three songs you’ve heard before and about a dozen all new tracks. No doubt, he gets his name from being so damn busy, but shit. He’s like the James Brown of dancehall or something. Here are two new tracks that you probably haven’t heard before that will be featured on the album. Di Genius kills the beat on this first track, “How U Bad Suh,” on some crazy techno dancehall madness. I’m feelin it.

The next track, “Summn’ A Guh Gwan,” features Alliance crew leader Bounty Killer, and it also comes with a video. Listening to the two go so hard on this track together, Bounty’s influence on Busy becomes pretty clear. I never really took notice of how similar Busy and Bounty sounded, but I guess it makes sense. Busy’s voice is definitely his own, but the stylistic similarities are there. Anyway, keep an eye out for other Alliance crew cameos in the video.
I got this joint in the mail right before I skipped town to the Bahamas. Been bumping it ever since. Solid material. And not typical Busy either. He’s growing.
