Cosmic Cleavage is a studio album by American rapper Busdriver. It was released on Big Dada in 2004. [5] The cover depicts an action figure of the Mazinger Z robot Aphrodite A firing its breast missiles.
Chris Dahlen of Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 out of 10, saying: "With no breaks or gasps for air between the tracks, Cosmic Cleavage is Busdriver's tightest, most consistent album." [3] However, he added, "it might not be the best starting place for new listeners." [3] Paul Clarke of BBC gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, describing it as "'acid jazz' in a literally hallucinogenic sense". [1]
