RJD2 May 1, 2008

Melding the hip-hop tradition of raw, gritty samples with a more classical approach to song structure, RJD2 has concocted a style of production that pleases the most discerning hip-hop scholar without compromising that old dance floor aesthetic. Busdriver is that rare artist who brings so much flair and originality to his music that he has transformed a whole genre with his intricate assault of complex rhymes and vocal delivery. Howlin' Maggie's Happy Chichester has been traveling the country performing solo on piano and guitar, and has been called a mixture of Bjork, Tom Waites and Prince. His live shows are each an insane and unique experience not to be missed.
