To say that Regan Farquhar has hip-hop in his blood wouldn't be far off — his dad is, after all, the guy who wrote Krush Groove. But to call the man better-known as Busdriver a "rapper" is a gross understatement: Farquhar's flow leaves Twista in the dust and makes Saul Williams and Sage Francis look like coffee-shop amateurs. With a style as fast and incisive as it is off-kilter, Busdriver's lyrical content — critical takedowns of modern music delivered in ten-ton rhymes — will get stuck in your head, even if you can't quite keep up.
