Canadian producer Boi-1da is currently working on the album.The new album is 80 percent finished, and it's called The Chemo. It’s the first time I'm announcing the name of the album. It’s self-explanatory. We’re coming to kill the cancer in music. I ain’t trying to offend anybody. We gotta re-establish the understanding that the perspective of hip-hop is to make music that always felt undeniable and unprecedented and we set a standard. I feel that starting to happen again with the likes of the Raekwon Cuban Linx II, and a lot of projects are starting to feel like they’re coming again. A lot of projects are feeling like they remind us of what hip-hop is really supposed to feel and sound like.
On the red carpet at the 2010 grammy awards, Busta Rhymes had a brief interview with Nick Cannon where he stated that the album would be released on the 4th of July. According to a HipHopDX.com article posted nearly two weeks after, however, The Chemo is set for a July 4, 2010 release.
