Busdriver - Roadkill Overcoat

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. Unrelenting touring and the willingness to embrace the transient nature of the road gives way to the title of his 5th solo album and Anti/Epitaph debut, RoadKillOvercoat, arguably BD’s most ambitious yet infectiously catchy effort to date. A sneer at the absurdities of complacent left-wingers, “Kill Your Employer” will surprise longtime fans with its dance-inflected sonic assault, and win Busdriver a host of new fans in the clubs.Produced by L.A.’s own beat champion DJ Nobody and multi-instrumentalist/programming whiz, Boom-Bip.Busdriver has a big underground fanbase following from previous records on Ninja Tune (Roots Manuva, Ty, Cold Cut). For fans of Atmosphere, Sage Francis and M.I.A.
