You'll need five listens of this new Busdriver track to get a beat on the dextrous, rapidfire tongue twirling at hand, which is to say it is a Busdriver track. The forthcoming Jhelli Beam is his eighth album and has a solid list of collaborators, including old partners (producers Daedelus and Nobody, Islander Nick Thorburn), Deerhoof dudes (John Dietrich on guitar, Greg Saunier on production) and fellow quick fire specialists Mikah 9 and Nocando. But "Me-Time (With The Pulmonary Palimpsets)" is just Regan with a one-off production contribution from Omid, who keeps the BPM high and subdivided by throwing fat bass under Mozart's Sonata in A Major, giving Busdriver the 1/128th notes (not really but almost) he needs to fill a notebook full of "Vladimir Putin"/"cashmere pantsuit"-sorta rhymes and structural headspins that tip toward Tony Hawk's favorite jam "Imaginary Places." Screw up your ears and parse the syllables: Continue reading New Busdriver - "Me-Time (With The Pulmonary Palimpsets)"...

A couple of weeks ago, the motormouthed L.A. rap expressionist Busdriver lined up fellow underground rap originals Aesop Rock and Danny Brown for a dense, wordy throwdown called “Ego Death.” In making the song’s video, director Strangeloop has congured a dystopic computer-animated vision in which a robot wanders aba...

Busdriver, Aesop Rock, and Danny Brown all come from vastly different corners of the map, both geographically and figuratively, but all three are among underground rap’s most distinctive vocal stylists. Busdriver, the L.A. speed-rap expressionist, lined up verses from both Aes and Danny for “Ego Death,” a track from...

In case you’re curious about the hyper-verbose L.A. rap underground that must’ve, on some level, helped to set the stage for Kendrick Lamar, here’s a pretty great example: Longtime underground mic-rippers Busdriver, Nocando, and Open Mike Eagle going absolutely insane over a jittery synthetic monster-beat.
