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. |

| Reviews Summary |
| Outstanding - Urb / Genius - BBC / Experimental and fresh - Hip-Hop Connection / Intoxicating - Straight No Chaser / Decidedly cool and deadly - XLR8R / Busdriver straight kills it - Hour / Treads where most wouldn't dare - DJ / Certainly the best I’ve heard in a long time - Indigo Flow |
| It's hard for me to hear Busdriver's overstuffed verses and nerdy cadences without comparing him to America's least respected rapper, MC Paul Barman. The style and sense of humor is almost identical, though Busdriver is blessed with a context more palatable to the majority of hip-hop fans - i.e., he is not an Ivy League educated Jewish suburban bohemian and thus does not need to overcompensate with self-deprecating humor. - Flux |
