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. |

| Busdriver is part of the alternative scene that stands separate from the usual popular US ideology of hip-hop. If you're a fan of the Anticon school of tongue-in-cheek offerings that don't revolve around the usual subjects (money, drugs, guns, hoes, etc) then this could be the album for you. Putting the art into rhyme, Busdriver is good music with a good sentiment that asks you to question rather than submit due to force of opinion. If you like your music to make you think as you nod your head then this could be your ticket. If you like to be challenged and provoked when listening, then you really should check this out, In terms of the music it's opening up the doors of hip-hop letting in a flood of other influences showing that creativity and substance really is above style. - Future Music |
