Busdriver
Real Name:
Regan Farquhar
Profile:
Busdriver, whose birth name is Regan Farquhar, is an underground MC hailing from Los Angeles. He is known for his rapid-fire, jazzy, free-association style of hip-hop.
Some listeners consider Busdriver to be an abstract rapper. His rhymes sometimes border on dadaist and even pure nonsense, but there is almost always a concrete message amongst his fast-paced, seemingly stream of conciousness rhymes. An interesting thing that sets Busdriver somewhat apart from other rappers is how he raps to the melody in addition to the beat on some songs.

Reviews & Discussion
"Out of the legendary Project Blowed crew, Busdriver has carved a niche in underground hiphop with unique performance and freestyle skills that combine elements of vocal jazz, theatrics, spoken word, and machine precision with witty and incisive free association lyrics. A frequent collaborator with many of Los Angeles' hiphop elite, Busdriver has worked with Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, Mikah-9, 2Mex, Xololanxinxo, Fat Jack, Daddy Kev, Paris Zax, and Omid. His releases for Celestial, Massmen, and Afterlife including his most recent full length, 'Temporary Forever' have received glowing praise in The Wire, Muzik, Village Voice, and XLR8R among many others, and have landed him a spot in Urb's lauded Next 100 for 2002."
