Buck 65-20 Odd Years (WEA)
Genre: Hip-Hop
Released: February 1
Throughout the year 2010, Buck 65 has made four digital EP in the series "20
odd years" and a DVD featuring some of his live performances and a long interview with the artist. This series was his way of celebrating his 20 years in hip hop. 20 years during which Buck constantly evolved and offered a varied music, alternating between joy and melancholy, driven by beats from hip hop to country gross.
Between his first attempts (including "Square" or "Man Overboard") and its most recent disks (such as "Secret House Against the World" or "Location") evolution is evident. I do not say it better is a matter of taste, but it evolves; Buck 65 does not stagnate and constantly renewed. While retaining its identity.
To top this series of PE, Richard Terfry whose real name is about to release an album that gathers many of the titles in the series "20 odd years", plus some unreleased.
To accompany him on this anniversary album, the MC has invited his friends to come and push the song. It will include Gord Downie, Jenn Grant, Marie-Pierre Arthur, John Southworth and others. There are even featuring Olivia Ruiz (Buck has long lived in Paris).
In my personal opinion, Buck 65 is an MC you need to know. Whether you're a fan of hip hop or not. His deep voice, his phrasing, his beats, his live performances, daring musical are many reasons to consider her work which may not have always been exceptional, but who at least has the merit of having always been quality and, as mentioned above, has never involved a perpetual repetition of a formula that works.
After 20 years in hip hop and its twenty CDs (he released an album in general a year and a few EP), Canada does not stop it and it makes us understand with this "20 Odd Years", the first album of a new decade in which Buck 65 does not seem to rest on its laurels.
The album will be available in vinyl, CD and digital. More packages (without interest) are offered with a baseball signed (Buck is a former pro player) and other goodies like that ...
