The speed-rapping hip-hop artist BUSDRIVER makes complex satire that touches on race, cultural politics and societal trends with aplomb. But if Roadkillovercoat, released earlier this year, was sometimes difficult to follow, then his live appearances are dazzling and overwhelming tours de force. He’s already played Atlanta once this year as an opening act for RJD2. This time, he plays Thurs., NOV. 8, with Daedelus, the electronic dandy who just released an EP on Ninja Tune, Fair Weather Friends, highlighted by a rework of TLC’s “No Scrubs.” Antimc, Chris Devoe and DJ Gnosis open. $8. 9 p.m. Drunken Unicorn, 736 Ponce de Leon Place. 404-870-0575. www.thedrunkenunicorn.net.
