Busdriver – Perfect Hair

Cult rapper's latest plays to his commendable strengths...

If you ever played Tony Hawk’s Underground, chances are that, even if you don’t think you know Busdriver, you will probably recall the Los Angeles dweller’s distinct vocals from ‘Imaginary Places’

He’s grown a lot since, building his cult following and acquiring a veteran status on the underground before coming out with this latest opus, ‘Perfect Hair’.

Right from the offset with ‘Retirement Ode’, Driver is speaking from an experienced viewpoint. He expertly dishes out his take on everything from the rap game to the economy, with bars that could warrant their own CliffsNotes.

However, the rollercoaster ride of his delivery makes it an enjoyable experience rather than a textbook headache.

7/10
