First coming on the scene in 1977, New York-based MC Busy Bee has worked with many of hip-hop's founding fathers, including [[artist:Melle Mel]], [[artist:Afrika Bambaataa]], and [[artist:AJ Scratch]] to name a few. Mostly known for his comedic rhymes, Busy originally gained a large following through MC battles in Staten Island, Brooklyn, and New Jersey (he won the New Music Seminar's MC World Supremacy Belt in 1986). In the early '80s, [[artist:Afrika Bambaataa]] asked Busy to join his Zulu Nation, where the young MC would DJ for Bambaataa's Zulu Nation parties. In 1982 Busy also appeared in the classic hip-hop film "Wild Style", playing none other than an MC. In addition to his DJ work with other artists, Busy has also released his own albums on the labels [[label:Brass Records]], [[label:Sugar Hill Records]], and [[label:Strong City Records]].
