Jhelli Beam is a studio album by American hip hop musician Busdriver. It was released on ANTI- in 2009.

Reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, Jhelli Beam received an average score of 74% based on 12 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[1]

Alan Ranta of PopMatters gave the album 8 stars out of 10, saying: "It is too intelligent and challenging to the status quo for the mainstream media to truly embrace, and Anti- seems to be lacking a little on the side of their hip-hop promotion department."[7]

The opening track, "Split Seconds (Between Nannies and Swamis)", was described by Thomas Quinlan of URB as "Busdriver's simplest, most accessible rap jam, eschewing the bursts of rapid rap flows that usually accompany his slower style, and only occasionally bringing in a bit of sing-song."[9]
