Imaginary Places

Busdriver

Temporary Whatever

WE SAY

No soundclip. Every time we listen to The Breezeblock on Radio 1 (which is not as often as we'd like), we hear a sensational track we undoubtedly wouldn't have heard anywhere else. This time it was Imaginary Places by underground LA rapper Busdriver. His delivery is captivatingly fast yet the lyrics are very intelligent and it's a massively hooky to boot (partly thanks to JS Bach whose Badinerie it samples). An awesome disovery.
