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. |

| One thing is for sure, in value-to-money terms, the latest full-length from Regan Farquhar scores highly. Indeed, this amphetamine-fuelled word shower shares many of the techniques of its esteemed predecessor, Temporary Forever having been distinguished by Farquhar firing his rhyme book from the speakers with Gatling gun efficiency. While the collaborations with Daedelus and Radioinactive which served as an interstitial between his solo works succeeded in baffling even this most committed follower of California's Mush imprint, this album finds both Bus and its Driver back on their rightful route. Still delivering its message with a frightening velocity, once unencumbered with the involvement of others, the quick-witted cultural commentary comes back into focus as the central tenet of a sound, which bears little resemblance to any other. - Q |
