Event Description :

Smith was born in East Flatbush, Brooklyn to Jamaican parents Geraldine Green and Trevor Smith, Sr.[2][3][4] When he was 12 his family moved to Uniondale, New York, a suburb in Nassau County, where he was raised and eventually met up with other artists[who?] from the growing area hip hop community. He graduated from Uniondale High School in 1991.[5] [edit] Early career – Elektra Smith's musical career began at the age of 0 as a member of the hip hop crew Leaders of the New School along with fellow Long Island natives Charlie Brown, Dinco D, and Cut Monitor Milo. They began recording in 1989 and released their debut album A Future Without a Past in 1991 on Elektra Records. In 1993, they released T.I.M.E. (The Inner Mind's Eye). Soon after, however, internal problems arose within the group, and the group broke up on the set of Yo! MTV Raps. Smith broke out with a 1996 solo hit single, "Woo Hah!! Got You All in Check" from his platinum record album The Coming. His second album, When Disaster Strikes, released in 1997, produced the hit singles "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" and "Dangerous". In 1998, Smith recorded Extinction Level Event (Final World Front), further expressing his view that the world would end in the year 2000. Its single, "Gimme Some More" – which sampled Bernard Herrmann's theme from Psycho – reached number 5 in the UK singles chart in January 1999. Smith enjoyed further transatlantic success in April when the single "What's It Gonna Be?!", featuring Janet Jackson, reached the US and UK Top 10. The album received prominent notice for featuring the fastest rapping Busta has yet done, on a song called "Iz They Wildin Wit Us & Gettin' Rowdy Wit Us?", featuring a guest appearance by Mystikal.[6] 1999 was a challenging year for Smith. He paid a visit to a courthouse regarding confusion involving child support, and he received 5 years of probation for possessing an unregistered gun. Elektra, not fond of the bad publicity, began to offer less promotions and studio time for his forthcoming album " Anarchy". Busta realized this and transferred Flipmode Squad to J Records after fulfilling his contract with Elektra.
