The Flipmode Squad members consisting of Busta Rhymes, Rah Digga, Rampage, Spliff Starr, Baby Sham, and Lord Have Mercy. They had an impressive run from the mid 90\u2019s through the early 2000\u2019s. Busta\u2019s crew, The Conglomerate represented by O.T. Genasis, J-Doe, Trillian,Prayah, and Aaron Cooks \u00a0were initially established in 2011 and still active today. Hopefully this is an indication that Busta\u2019s tenth studio album will be released soon. Back in 1996 Busta\u2019s debut album <em>The Coming<\/em> featured a track with Flipmode Squad along with the legendary crew Def Squad. The track was ironically titled \u201cFlipmode Squad Meets Def Squad\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Busta Rhymes \u2013 Flipmode Squad Meets The Conglomerate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W5cG_AKw714?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Busta Rhymes \u2013 Flipmode Squad Meets Def Squad<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CB_XbPe3D0Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Def Squad consists of Redman, Erick Sermon, Keith Murray, and Jamal as an extended member. Throughout the years Busta Rhymes has worked together with these artists on numerous occasions. The first time was from the posse cut \u201cThe Points\u201d from the 1995 soundtrack <strong><em>Panther<\/em><\/strong>. Busta paired up with Redman, Jamal, Notorious B.I.G., Coolio, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, and others. The following year, Busta would link up with entire Def Squad on the song \u201cYeah\u201d from Keith Murray\u2019s sophomore album <strong><em>Enigma<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Busta Rhymes \u2013 The Points feat.

Also appearing on the track was Shyne, G-Dep, Cee-Lo and Sauce Money. It wasn\u2019t until 2003 Busta would link up with a Def Squad member again. This time it was on \u201cOn Smash\u201d from Keith Murray\u2019s album <strong><em>He\u2019s Keith Murray<\/em><\/strong>. The most recent collaborations Busta did with a Def Squad member appeared on mixtape tracks in 2009 and 2010. The first was \u201cStars Are Born\u201d that consisted of Busta with Redman and the Game. The latter being \u201cDoin It\u201d linking Busta with Redman one last time off the mixtape <strong><em>Funk From Hell<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Puff Daddy \u2013 Reverse feat.
