Not like he didn't warn you, butBusta Rhymes' sonic stocking stuffer The Abstract Went On Vacation has arrived, as promised, on Christmas Day. Joining the legend for this quickly realized sequel-ish project is a far more star-powered roster than any could have imagined, featuring living and soon-t0-be luminaries like MF DOOM, Raekwon, Jadakiss, Styles P, Mary J. Blige, Chance The Rapper, BJ The Chicago Kid, Wiz Khalifa and plenty of others. Oh, and unlike certain other projects that have been billed "mixtape" this year, yet have you copping them on iTunes, this one is, in fact, a mixtape and is available for your to stream and download for free down below. It should be noted that Chano's feature, "Hello," is perhaps one of his best lyrical performances, period, and is done so over a nod to Luniz's mid-90s slapper "I Got 5 On It." Then there's "In The Streets," where a rare DOOM verse lands over a Dilla gem...so yeah, this joint's a most-hear. Slip into the year-end haze with Busta Rhymes' new tape down and see if you can't shake this thing off.
