“	‘Ello, ‘ello. My names Busta Cruz. If you ain’t one of them uppity, posh gits, you and I will get along fine.	”
	—Busta Cruz, The Urbz: Sims in the City

Busta Cruz is an Urb residing on Splicer Island in Miniopolis from The Urbz: Sims in the City for handheld.

Biography

Busta has no involvement with the plot until he becomes Splicer Island's entertainment manager, and opens up the Island Entertainment Center. Before he moved to Splicer Island, he could almost always be found in the bathroom of Crawfish Shack in Sim Quarter. After then, he is almost always found in and around the Island Entertainment Center, occasionally being found at the Glasstown Coffee Shop.

Busta is most likely British due to the fact he speaks with stereotypical British speech patterns like "Bob's your uncle": his accent, his punk-like appearance, his description saying that he comes from "across the pond" and the Union Flag found in the Island entertainment center also support this.

Trivia

• When asked about the carnival, Busta mentions having piercings, but they do not seem to be visible, so he probably has body piercings.
• In Mission S The Boys are Back inTown!, when asked to come to Splicer Island, Busta reveals he used to manage a gas station in SimCity.
• When asked to move in with the player, he refuses, saying he's got his own flat. This information conflicts with what Busta says about living under a tarp, beneath a bridge.
