About Busy Bee
There is more than one artist with this name:
1)Busy Bee Starski (also known as Busy Bee) born 1950s in Bronx, New York who is an old school hip-hop MC. First coming on the scene in 1977, New York-based Busy Bee worked with many of hip-hop's founding fathers, including Melle Mel, Afrika Bambaataa, and Kool DJ AJ. Born David Parker and known for his comedic rhymes, he originally gained a large following through MC battles in Staten Island, Brooklyn, and New Jersey. He was famously roasted by Kool Moe Dee at Harlem World in Manhattan, NY, December 1982, in one of the earliest documented freestyle battles. In 1986, he won the New Music Seminar's MC World Supremacy Belt. In the early 1980s Afrika Bambaataa asked Busy to join his Zulu Nation where the young MC would DJ for Bambaataa's Zulu Nation parties. Busy Bee continues to rhyme today, most recently appearing on KRS-One and Marley Marl's collaborative 2007 album, Hip-Hop Lives.
2) Busy Bee is also a latvian funk rock band. They music contains also some elements of jazz and hip-hop. The band is also known for their lead vocal's participation in Latvian "American Idol" like tv show "Talantu Fabrika" as Flame.
