Interview with Hip Hop DJ, MC and Producer, BUCK 65

ilikemusic.com caught up with Rich (aka Buck 65) as he releases his new album, Square.

"I like music because...music reminds me that I'm not alone," BUCK 65

ILM: You're living in Paris right now. Does it inspire you musically living there, being such a culturally rich and diverse city?

Buck 65: Paris inspires me. You'd have to be dead for it not to, I think. They don't exactly subscribe to the 'new is better' credo which suits me perfectly, being the throwback old-timer I am.

ILM: You've developed your very own unique take on hip hop (which we like by the way) - how would you describe its whole vibe?

Buck 65: The vibe comes from Mt. Uniacke, the town where I grew up - it's rural Nova Scotia for christ's sakes. I've also embraced my growing up - and hopefully my maturity. That's all in there. If you listen to some blues from the 20's and 30's you'll find stuff that's similar to where I am right now - the Talkin' Blues they called it. It's music from the guts. Dirt road styles.
