Busta Rhymes appears to have hinted at releasing new music, later this month.

Busta Rhymes has wiped his Instagram page clean, replacing his posts with a single image of a beachball. The iconic New York rapper seemingly teased the release date for new music in the caption, writing the date, June 23, 2023, with an eyes emoji.

After Busta uploaded the image, several high-profile producers shared the post on their own pages. Among them were DJ Khaled and Dre of Cool & Dre. Swizz Beatz and Hitmaka also commented on Busta's post.

Swizz Beatz previously confirmed that he'll be executive producing Busta's next album, alongside Timbaland and Pharrell. He spoke about the project during an "appreciation post" for the rapper, earlier this year.

“It’s 2023. My bro got all new deals, all new music coming out," Swizz said at the time. "I just want to take the time to say I appreciate my brother Busta Rhymes for his longevity, his distinctive style, voice. I wish everybody a long career like Busta Rhymes. He’s the biggest deal. Him and Spliff Star don’t play no games on that stage doing older songs and new songs. He’s boxed with the best of ’em. He’s been on the charts with the best of ’em. And one week he was on the stage with Janet Jackson and Mary J. Blige — that’s just one week! Cheers to my brother Busta Rhymes for life. Wait until you hear this new music this man got. The album executive produced by Swizz Beatz, Timbaland and Pharrell. Wrap your face around what that’s gonna sound like.”
