\n\tD\u2019Angelo, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2025, appears on \u201cThis Woman\u201d and Busta revealed that the track came from an unfinished collab between the Voodoo <\/em>singer and J Dilla over 20 years ago. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was gifted with something that they did that they didn\u2019t finish when the word started to spread about this project. I didn\u2019t know that it existed because it was done 20-something years ago,\u201d Busta told New York Times\u2019<\/em>Popcast<\/em>. \u201cThey started something and it just never got finished. I love both of them, so I wanted to do whatever justice I could do and continue to uphold the legacies of these brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBusta also teased a music video for \u201cThis Woman\u201d on social media directed by Hype Williams, who has an extensive history working with both the New York rapper and D\u2019Angelo.<\/p>\n

\n\tBus-a-Bus has been sitting on nearly 300 J Dilla beats, a portion of which he polished to make up Dillagence II<\/em>. \u201cIn my experience with Dilla, he was a man of few words. I heard him talk more when he was rhyming than in actual conversation,\u201d the 54-year-old explained onPopcast<\/em>. <\/p>\n

\n\tDilla and Busta originally joined forces for Dillagence <\/em>in 2007, which came just over a year after J Dilla\u2019s death in February 2006. <\/p>\n

\n\tEven at 54, Busta Rhymes has stayed in the studio. Busta\u2019s Dragon Season\u2026 Equinox<\/em> project arrived last year and he released his BLOCKBUSTA<\/em> album in 2023. <\/p>\n
