Facing four charges, rapper Busta Rhymes surprised some with a guilty plea, despite suggesting that he was not guilty, going into the trial. In a New York court, the Flipmode Squad frontman admitted to driving drunk, a suspended license and two counts of assault stemming from the last two years.

The result of these pleas, is that if Busta Rhymes violates his ensuing three years of probation, he will face felony jail time. The fees resulted in $750, according to TMZ, and the two assault victims have issued restraining orders against the platinum superstar.

For the remainder of the year, Busta Rhymes is said to be working on his next album, reportedly titled Back On My BS, billed as a similar follow-up to 2006's The Big Bang. The emcee recently made an acclaimed mixtape with Mick Boogie, Dilligence, using productions from late friend and longtime collaborator J. Dilla.
