Busdriver

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Possessing a hyper-literate, intellectual style of rapping augmented with dizzying elocution that would tongue-tie even the fiercest auctioneer, Busdriver is eclectic and eccentric enough to cite vocalese jazz singer Jon Hendricks as a primary influence. Born Regan Farquhar, the Los Angeles MC was introduced to hip-hop culture early -- his father wrote the screenplay to one of the earliest films focusing on hip-hop, {#Krush Groove}. He began rapping at age nine, releasing his first record at age 13 with his group, 4/29, named after the 1992 L.A. riots. By ...[more]

 

 

The latest from Los Angeles underground hip hop hero and Project Blowed's most eclectic emcee, BUSDRIVER. An eighteen-track mental supernova of lightning-quick lyrical flow--delivered in a high-speed style of jazz scale rhyming that leaves his audiences mesmerized and wondering how someone who speaks so fast can always be so articulate and on point--and brilliant grooves featuring guest vocals from LA all-stars ACEYALONE, 2MEX, XOLOLANXINXO, RADIOINACTIVE, and RHETORIC. Features production work from DADDY K   [ read more ]

On the tenuous fringes of what can be deemed "rap" there lies the reviled LA maverick, Busdriver, who for years has been wowing unsuspecting audiences with his patented visceral onslaught of rants, rhyming and displaced musical sensibility. Whether sitting-in with such unlikely cohorts as Islands, Daedelus, Z-Trip, TTC, Boom-Bip, 2mex etc., or plowing through his enthralling solo sets, there is a distinct brand of showmanship employed by Busdriver and at least a handful of concert-goers who are maladjusted    [ read more ]

Busdriver is that rare artist who brings so much flair and originality to his music that he's transformed a whole genre with his intricate assault of complex rhymes and vocal delivery. On this release, he delivers synth-laden, post-techno hooks and indie-pop moves provided by underground heroes, Boom Bip and DJ Nobody. He strings together pop culture reference points, cryptic wordplay, and gallant wit, with a wide musical palette of pop grandeur, psychedelic hip-hop, and minimal beats, capturing listeners w   [ read more ]

In the most cohesive work of his career, Busdriver turns his razor-sharp wit on his place in the music industry with Fear of a Black Tangent, the follow-up to his career-establishing release, Temporary Forever. Songs about 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 impressiv   [ read more ]
