So welcome to Buck 65...with a production palate that calls on the scope and fluidity of Dj Shadow, the jazz of Mile Davies and the soundscapes of LOUDDEAD, think somewhere between EL-P (but less harsh) and Rjd2 (but darker) and you might be getting close to the abstract hip hop beauty that is Buck 65... Whilst DJ Shadow decorates beats with words, Buck 65 underpins words with beats and it is in his bittersweet world equal parts Tom Waits, Charles Bukowski and Johnny Cash, that the tales of the everyday are combined with Buck 65's own unique delivery.
