Richard Terfry, who records under the name Buck 65, is a Canadian hip hop rap artist and turntablist.
[audio:Buck_65 – gee_whiz.mp3]He raps about real stories, rhymes with real emotion and makes beats that declare the artistic validity of the sampling process. He often uses elements of Americana in his rapping, such as baseball and small-town childhood.
He is a member of the 1200 Hobos, a loosely-knit hip-hop collective founded by Cincinnati DJ Mr. Dibbs.
Many of his early projects attracted attention after they were re-released, first on the independent Metaforensics label and subsequently by Warner Music. A notable early release, Sebutonedef (originally released in 1996 by Funtrip Records), was a collaboration with fellow Halifax artist Sixtoo.
