Busta Rhymes praises GloRilla for being “untainted by the industry”

Busta Rhymes applauded GloRilla for her “unfiltered” authenticity during a recent panel talk, describing her energy as “a different type of beautiful.”Last week, Rolling Stone held a ‘Musicians On Musicians’ event in New York City where the two rappers were a part of a talk moderated by music journalist Touré at the Apollo Theater in Harlem.

There, the legendary Brooklyn rapper made sure to publicly praise the 25-year-old before she “evolves to her Beyoncé level”.According to Revolt, Busta began by reflecting on his position in hip-hop as an authority figure wanting to “walk in [his] purpose” and “pour into the souls of the new artists and make sure that they get that information.”He made it clear that he doesn’t do that with every rising star, stating they must be “worthy of the blessing” before explaining what draws him to the Memphis hitmaker: “Me and Glo connected.

Her energy is a different type of beautiful.“What I love about GloRilla – and I hope that we can hold on to this GloRilla as long as possible before she evolves to her Beyoncé level – but the GloRilla that we love is the GloRilla that we see ourselves in,” he continued. “Like, we see [ourselves] in her.

She is unfiltered, she is not politically correct and she is the truth. And the beauty is, when you are untainted by the industry.
