Can you update OP with new link?
This song was leaked in full on June 17, 2020. It was first mentioned in a May 2013 interview with Rolling Stone when Busta spoke about working with his (at the time) YMCMB labelmates and mentioned: “I have something that’s actually halfway done with Drake on a J. Dilla beat. It’s incredible.”
Though the exact date of recording is unknown and it was not mentioned until mid-2013, it’s speculated that this is from the ~2010 Thank Me Later era based on the sound and style of Drake’s rapping. It’s worth mentioning that Busta was signed to YMCMB from 2011-2014, so it’s possible that he recorded his verse during this time.
Although not released officially, this would be Drake and Busta’s first official collaboration and Drake’s second time to sample a J Dilla beat. Busta had rapped over multiple J Dilla beats prior to the recording of this song. Drake had previously sampled J Dilla’s “Time: The Donut of the Heart” on “Where To Now” off of his 2007 mixtape Comeback Season. In an October 2013 interview, Drake said, “There was a time when I wouldn’t listen to anything unless it was produced by Dilla” when speaking on his origins as something of a ‘backpack rapper’.
It’s hard to pinpoint the exact location of this Dilla beat in his discography due to the prolific amount of work that he left behind and the lack of titles for many of them, but this beat seems to be track 12 off of the 64 Beats beat tape and has been given the fan-designated title ‘Mandarin Tea.’ Fellow Slum Village rapper Elzhi previously rapped over this same beat on “Horney Joint” off of his officially unreleased Out of Focus EP. Dilla sampled Miroslav Vitouš‘ “Concerto in E Minor” for the beat.
Dope thanks for the info
Why they crediting this as a Drake song?
Also the file to download is titled "DRAKE_-_STAY_DOWN_FT_BUSTA" so that's probably why
I wonder if any hackers have the JLo version of Get It Together
Intensely curious on how it sounds overall past the snippets we got
Would this have been a hit for Busta if he dropped it?
that’s a Dilla beat you calling trash

the reason was cause Busta left Cash Money and didn’t have the rights to release the album he was recording for them
Yeah lemme find it

I think this would have definitely gotten radio play. It would have charted I dunno if it would have been a smash or anything.
Good song though makes me wonder how many songs like this we will just never hear
