Editor's review
The hip-hop gene was passed down to Los Angeles-based MC Busdriver by his father, who wrote the screenplay to seminal '80s scene-piece Krush Groove--one of the first movies that ever used the genre as its foundation. Busdriver released his first record at age 13 with his group 4/29, and followed it up with more than a handful of solo records that highlight his dizzying, eccentric style.
Biography
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 emcees Abstract Rude, Ellay Khule, Mikah-9, and 2Mex.
