Richard Terfry, aka Buck 65, is a loner from Halifax County, Canada. He stands apart from Gangsta Rap, which he deems violent and �fascinated with drug business�. With a folk-rock approach, Buck mixes genres. �I think that hip hop sold out. It doesn't inspire me, it bores me. I am now much more interested by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and the likes.� With 7 albums to his name, notably Talkin Honky Blues (2003), Buck 65's work transcends time and trends, it is undeniably new. This Tom Waits of hip hop may at last be the new voice we've been expecting.
