Some have likened him to Aesop Rock, but really the comparisons are unfair. Bisco Smith is an individual, intent on putting his own spin on traditional rap. Well-versed in the world of hip-hop, Bisco has two full-lengths already under his belt prior to 2010’s The Broadcast. The concept behind his newest release is simple and self-explanatory. Bisco has ideas – big ideas – that he wishes to broadcast to the world. And so he begins. With the turn of a radio dial, the listener lands on just the right frequency and is launched head first into Bisco’s warped world of electro-rap. The album’s first single, “Morning Breath,” is dedicated to the daily grind. Using the life-is-a-marathon metaphor, Bisco throws down bars declaring his dedication to hip-hop. His perseverance within the music-making world serves as the topical backbone for the album, with numerous tracks touching on his love for hip-hop.
