This is what Mike Shindoa had to say about the track on his blog:

so here’s the official news:

added WE MADE IT photos to the photo section. click “read more” to see them. some posed shots with me and the crew…director chris robinson let me bring ryu, tak, and cheapshot in for a shot in the video (a scene that better not get cut!!!) and our homie bishop lamont (who was telling me about working on dr. dre’s DETOX album, and his upcoming solo album…amazing). check it out…

we are pleased to announce a new song, about to hit the streets…a new collaboration we did with the incomparable busta rhymes. chester, busta, and i just shot the video with director chris robinson.

the song is called “we made it” and will be featured on busta’s new album “blessed.” chester sings on the hook (i did some harmonies) and i do the second verse. i did some production work on it, and brad laid down some guitar at the end.

as many of you may realize, this is the first time LP has been “featured” on a new song by any artist. we have done individual cameos in the past (and did a “mash-up” of existing songs with a certain mr. s-dot-carter) but this is the first time you have seen “featuring linkin park” on any all-new song. for my part, the thing that drew me in was the musicality of the track and the sincerity of busta’s performance. it’s a song about overcoming adversity and celebrating the difficult obstacles that we overcome. i loved writing to it, and hope you all enjoy the song, which should be out soon.

also, keep an eye on our linkinparktv youtube channel for video footage and a behind-the-scenes look at the shoot and creation of the song.

to round out the experience, busta told me that he’s setting up a charity foundation (tentatively) called the “we made it foundation” that will be rewarding young students for quarterly excellence in academics and discipline—at home and at school.

more to come.

[QuietTruth]

^ Yeah, what's up with that?

[Larrabee]

They're going all-out I suppose. Looking forward to the song and Busta's album.

Remember that bishop and dre also shot the video for "i dominate" on hawai in december... And we still haven't heard it...

that'll 100% be different than this

What did i miss?

just the fact (IMO) that Dre always does this and busta doesn't..plus we already have a concrete date for the debut of the video and its very, very soon.

It's aftermath right? So is bishop,but I suspect that "i dominate" ain't a bishop single. Wtf is bishop dominating? Think about it... Dre is on it,the title... Hmmm....

that's true, trust me when i say will get this busta one though...LOL that's true..powerful name 4 ya 1st ever mainstream single..

Something is going on behind the scenes that's for sure,all we can do is speculate...

Interscope records sent out a press release saying that the album drops on June 17th. Sure, there is always that chance it gets pushed back. And the video premiers April 30th, on Yahoo Music.

i checked the interscope website and they quoted the story of allhiphop.com so i guess you're right, my bad, i thought the release date was just given by Busta himself 
removed my previous post to clear that up.

so there's at least one aftermath release coming this year
