MH-235 Busdriver - Fear Of A Black Tangent  With the most cohesive work of his career, Busdriver turns his razor sharp wit on his place in the music industry with his new full-length release, Fear Of A Black Tangent. It is the follow-up to his career establishing release, Temporary Forever. Songs covering small club touring, independent music promotion, and the barrage of uninspired hip-hop releases on the market all contribute to the album's theme of trying to break as a emerging artist. Busdriver has taken a year's worth of material and trimmed it down to thirteen impressive tracks that range from lightning fast Project Blowed style raps to sing-song pop. The album features production by Daedelus, Danger Mouse, Thavius Beck, Omid, and Paris Zax and has guest appearances by fellow Project Blowed MCs Abstract Rude, Ellay Khule, Mikah-9, and 2Mex. |

| This is the second album from LA based rapper Busdriver. From listening to the album it is easy to hear why a UK record label like Big Dada have signed him, aside from the fact that Busdriver is a good rapper he also has indie rap crossover appeal which will undoubtedly appeal to a UK audience. Busdriver's verbal skills are without question top notch but what really makes this a great record is the element of humour which runs throughout the record. So many hip-hop artists have tried and failed to do this well in the past, but with Fear of a Black Tangent Busdriver gets it spot on. - Notion |
