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. |

| Make no bones about it - Busdriver is one of the most incredible, original lyricists of all time. That's not hip-hop lyricists, I mean ALL lyricists. People who know the Good Life and Project Blowed scenes probably knew before I did. A friend of mine once asked me "who the guy who sounds kind of like Zappa over hip-hop beats" was. Yep. The man who drops lines like "my tame ideas are on the wall of a chain of Ikeas" over productions from Omid, Daedelus, Paris Zax, Danger Mouse, Thavius Beck and remixes from D-Styles, Prefuse73 and the often stunning Nobody. This album is absolutely incredible. - Rhythm Incursions |
