'''Richard Terfry''' (born March 4, 1972), better known by his stage name '''Buck 65''', is a Canadian [[alternative hip hop]] rapper. Underpinned by an extensive background in abstract hip hop, his more recent music has extensively incorporated [[blues]], [[country music|country]], [[rock music|rock]], [[folk music|folk]] and [[avant-garde]] influences.

Terfry is also a radio host, hosting the weekday ''[[Drive (CBC Music)|Drive]]'' show on [[CBC Music]] since September 2, 2008.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/radio_2_drive|title=CBC Program Guide: Radio 2 Drive|work=[[CBC News]]|access-date=December 18, 2008}}</ref> In addition, he once hosted a weekday program on [[CBC Radio 3]]'s [[web radio]] station.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://radio3.cbc.ca/blogs/2007/09/CBC-Radio-3-Launches-Brand-New-Web-Radio-Station|title=CBC Radio 3 Launches Brand New Web Radio Station|work=[[CBC News]]|access-date=December 18, 2008}}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

==History==
===Early career and influences===
Terfry was born in 1972 and raised in [[Mount Uniacke, Nova Scotia]], a rural community 40 km north of [[City of Halifax|Halifax]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Dundas |first=Deborah |date=August 30, 2015 |title=In his own words: TWO TAKES: RICH TERFRY AS BUCK 65 |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1708041286 |work=[[Toronto Star]] |page=IN.7 |access-date=October 26, 2024 |id={{ProQuest|1708041286}} |url-access=subscription |quote=In a way, this book is about the creation of the persona Buck 65 more than it is about Terfry, radio broadcaster and native son of Mount Uniacke, N.S.}}</ref> He was first exposed to rap music in the mid-1980s while listening to [[CBC Radio 2|CBC Stereo]]'s late-night show ''[[Brave New Waves]]'', and then by listening to Halifax campus community radio station [[CKDU-FM|CKDU]]. CKDU then broadcast at only 33 watts, and he had to climb a tree in his yard to hear the station's hip hop show on his radio. Fascinated by hip hop, the young Terfry taught himself how to rap, DJ, and, later, to produce records. In 1990, Terfry self-produced his first song, "The Rhyme Has To Be Good", which later received airplay on the Halifax college radio station.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://buck65.com/buck/history/ |title=Buck 65 » Story |access-date=October 30, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030042103/http://buck65.com/buck/history/ |archive-date=October 30, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> His musical influences include [[MC Shan]], [[David Lynch]], Gitche Manitou  and [[Kool Keith]].{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

Using the moniker DJ Critical, he later hosted a hip-hop show on CKDU called ''The Bassment'' (later renamed ''The Treatment Program'' when he assumed the stage name Jesus Murphy), which aired for several years. This period overlapped with many of his non-major-label releases.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

===Stage names===
Buck 65 has used a number of other stage names; these include Johnny Rockwell, Stinkin' Rich, Haslam, and Uncle Climax. These pseudonyms typically represent different characters in his raps (as in Uncle Climax, Johnny Rockwell and Stinkin' Rich) or different aspects of Buck's creativity (as noted above, DJ Critical was his DJ name on CKDU).{{citation needed|date=May 2011}}

He explains the origin of his main performance name as follows: "I was born with the name Richard Terfry. Where I come from, it's common when a boy is named after his father, for the father to refer to the son as 'Buck'. I don't know where that comes from or when it started. It might be a 'out-in-the-country' thing. Growing up I knew lots of sons who were referred to as 'Buck'. Sometimes even if they weren't juniors. So the joke became, I was one of 65 (a number picked randomly) 'Bucks' in my town."<ref>{{cite web|last=Lunny|first=Hugo|title=Buck 65 Interview with MVRemix Urban|url=http://urban.mvremix.com/interviews/buck65.shtml|publisher=MVRemix.com|date=January 2003|access-date=October 18, 2009}}</ref>

However, when appearing on Andy Kershaw's radio show in the UK on August 8, 2004, he gave a totally different explanation: some of his earliest public performances were with an older blues musician who used to joke that Terfry's regularity at showing up made him as reliable as a 1965 Buick. The nickname Buick 65 stuck until it was misprinted on a publicity poster as 'Buck 65' which he then adopted as his stage name.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

Buck 65 has recorded an EP under the name of Dirk Thornton alongside Irishman DJ Flip; it was scheduled for release early 2007 but the date was not set. The first release under Dirk Thornton was a 7-inch vinyl single with the tracks "Yesterday's News" and "Catwalk."{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

===Early releases===
In 1993, he released his first cassette of rap tunes while performing under the alias Stinkin' Rich on the Halifax label [[No Records]]. The five song cassette was titled ''Chin Music'', which was a reference to his interest in baseball. The release brought Stinkin' Rich to the attention of members of Halifax alternative rock band [[Sloan (band)|Sloan]]. Sloan signed him to their independent record label [[Murderecords]]<ref>[https://www.hiphopcanada.com/exclaim-halifax-hip-hop-anticipates-the-big-bang/ "Exclaim!: Halifax Hip-Hop Anticipates the Big Bang"]. ''HipHopCanada'', May 1, 2000</ref> and released a 7-inch single and a full-length cassette called ''Game Tight'', again featuring a reference to baseball. As Stinkin' Rich, he also appeared on numerous songs by Halifax hip hop band [[Hip Club Groove]].<ref>"Stinkin' Rich is in yer face: As rock `n' roll shuffles toward middle age, hip hop has grabbed the cool corner of the street". ''[[Halifax Daily News]]'', April 30, 1995.</ref>

After a brief break, Terfry returned reconstituted as Buck 65, releasing ''[[Weirdo Magnet]]'' (on Metaforensics) and ''[[Language Arts (album)|Language Arts]]'' in 1996, followed by ''[[Vertex (album)|Vertex]]'' in 1997 (both on Four Ways to Rock/Metaforensics), and the 12" single ''The Wildlife'' (on Hand'Solo Records) in 1998. He recorded "Sebutonedef" (released in 1996 by [[Funtrip Records]]) as a collaboration with fellow Halifax artist [[Sixtoo]]. Other releases by the duo, known as Sebutones, are ''Psoriasis'' and ''50/50 Where It Counts''. While still far from mainstream success, he received several odd jobs in Canada's entertainment industry, including making soundtrack music and providing narration for a TV commercial for [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] apparel, and song lyrics for the popular children's program ''[[Sesame Street]]''.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

''[[Man Overboard (Buck 65 album)|Man Overboard]]'', originally released on [[Anticon]] in 2001, was a significant turning point in his career. The record, and the entire Anticon collective (of which Sixtoo was also a part), were considered hallmarks of a new avant-garde movement in underground hip hop. It was at this time that Buck met Cincinnati DJ [[Mr. Dibbs]], who inducted him into the 1200 Hobos, a loosely knit hip-hop collective named for their proficiency in manipulating the Technics 1200 turntable.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/coverstory.aspx?csid1=58|access-date=April 17, 2008|magazine=[[Exclaim!]]|date=May 2004|title=Sixtoo And Change|first=Melissa|last=Wheeler|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081209050728/http://www.exclaim.ca/articles/coverstory.aspx?csid1=58|archive-date=December 9, 2008}}</ref> Also in 2001, Buck performed at the Snow Jam festival in 2001,<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20011121220051/http://chartattack.com/damn/2001/09/1903.cfm "Live: Snow Jam Halifax Citadel Hill Halifax, NS".]}}. ''Chart Attack'', September 19, 2001, Review by: Ryan O'Connor</ref> and later that year, he released his next studio album, ''[[Synesthesia (Buck 65 album)|Synesthesia]]'', on Endemik Records; the album was re-released the next year with a significantly different track listing on [[Warner Music Canada]].

===Major label releases===
[[Image:Buck01.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Buck 65 at [[Storsjöyran]] in [[Sweden]] in 2007]]
In 2002, Buck 65 signed a record deal with [[Warner Music Canada]], which subsequently released much of his back catalogue, including ''Weirdo Magnet'', ''Language Arts'', ''Vertex'', ''Man Overboard'', and ''Synesthesia''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.warnermusic.ca/artist.jsp?artist=10306|title=Warner Music Canada|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061013045920/http://www.warnermusic.ca/artist.jsp?artist=10306|archive-date=October 13, 2006}}</ref> During this time, he released two albums for the label, the first being ''[[Square (album)|Square]]'' in 2002, which was nominated for a [[Juno Award]] in 2003 for Alternative Album of the Year and Album Design of the Year. In 2003, Buck 65 released ''[[Talkin' Honky Blues]]'', which saw a major stylistic shift in his music, incorporating elements of country music, folk, bluegrass, and electronica, amongst other musical styles; it later won the 2004 Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://junoawards.ca/awards/artist-summary/?artist_name=buck+65&submit=Search|title=Juno Awards Artist Summary|access-date=October 30, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030035511/http://junoawards.ca/awards/artist-summary/?artist_name=buck+65&submit=Search|archive-date=October 30, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>[http://www.soulshine.ca/news/newsarticle.php?nid=419 "CARAS Scores A Hit With 2004 Juno Awards"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160815054635/http://www.soulshine.ca/news/newsarticle.php?nid=419 |date=August 15, 2016 }}. ''Soul Shine''. April 5, 2004</ref>

After a deal was signed with [[V2 Records]] in the United States, ''[[This Right Here Is Buck 65]]'' was released in early 2005. The album is a compilation of previously released songs, re-recordings, and [[B-sides]] that was marketed as an introduction to his work for U.S. audiences.<ref>{{cite web|title=This Right Here Is Buck 65: V2 Records |url=http://us.v2music.com/site/product.asp?ID=951 |publisher=V2 Records |access-date=December 18, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090224095639/http://us.v2music.com/site/product.asp?ID=951 |archive-date=February 24, 2009 }}</ref> However, after V2 chose not to release his next effort, ''[[Secret House Against the World]]'', the deal was amicably dissolved. ''Secret House Against the World'' was released in 2005 by Warner Music Canada, and saw Buck further experimenting with varying musical styles. Buck 65 gained additional recognition in 2006 when he appeared at the national [[Juno Awards]] with [[Pamela Anderson]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060308/junos_latestacts_060308/20060308?s_name=junos2006|title=Final acts named for Juno Awards|author=Kristen Brown|publisher=CTV.ca|access-date=December 18, 2008|date=March 8, 2006|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090225135542/http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20060308/junos_latestacts_060308/20060308?s_name=junos2006|archive-date=February 25, 2009}}</ref>

===''Dirty Work'', ''Situation'' and ''Dirtbike''===
In late 2006, Buck 65 released a 5-song digital EP called ''Dirty Work''. It was released over a month-long campaign, adding one song per week for free download via his website.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ninebullets.net/archives/buck-65-dirty-work-ep-available-for-download|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100619100026/http://ninebullets.net/archives/buck-65-dirty-work-ep-available-for-download|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 19, 2010|title=Buck 65 'Dirty Work' EP available for download – Nine Bullets|date=November 15, 2006 }}</ref>

Buck 65 released the album ''[[Situation (album)|Situation]]'' on October 30, 2007, on [[Strange Famous Records]] in the United States<ref>{{cite web|title=Buck 65 Explains New 1957-Themed Album, Situation |url=http://pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/44702-buck-65-explains-new-1957-themed-album-isituationi |publisher=[[Pitchfork Media]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071228041316/http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/44702-buck-65-explains-new-1957-themed-album-isituationi |archive-date=December 28, 2007 }}</ref> and [[Warner Music Group]] worldwide. The album is a [[concept album]] based around the year 1957, and is a return to a more "pure" hip hop sound than the previous blues, country and avant-garde influences in ''Secret House Against the World''. It was produced by fellow Halifax DJ [[Skratch Bastid]], aimed at making a "classic hip-hop record that pulses with joy and clarity of purpose".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://music.aol.ca/article/buck-65-situation-interview/217/|title=Love and a Buck 65|access-date=July 27, 2008|archive-date=December 9, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081209023521/http://music.aol.ca/article/buck-65-situation-interview/217/|url-status=dead}}</ref> The album appeared on the [[Top Heatseekers|Billboard Heatseekers Albums]] chart for one week at number 31.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/artist/298475/buck-65/chart |title=Buck 65 - Chart history | Billboard |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |access-date=October 30, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141019094844/http://www.billboard.com/artist/298475/buck-65/chart |archive-date=October 19, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2009, Buck 65 contributed "Blood Pt. 2" to the AIDS benefit album, ''[[Dark Was the Night (album)|Dark Was the Night]]'', produced by the [[Red Hot Organization]]. It is a remix of [[Sufjan Stevens]]' take on the song "You Are the Blood", originally by [[Castanets (band)|Castanets]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stereogum.com/archives/new-buck-65-blood-pt-2_050691.html|title=New Buck 65 - "Blood Pt. 2"|access-date=July 3, 2009|publisher=[[Stereogum]]|date=February 5, 2009|archive-date=February 10, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090210034638/http://stereogum.com/archives/new-buck-65-blood-pt-2_050691.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===''20 Odd Years'', ''Neverlove'', and ''Laundromat Boogie''===
On February 1, 2011, Buck 65 released ''[[20 Odd Years]]'', named in honor of his twentieth anniversary in the music industry. The album continued the tradition of combining several different musical styles, and featured many different guest collaborators. The album was preceded by a series of four EPs, released digitally and on 7" vinyl: ''20 Odd Years, Vol. 1: Avant'' (released June 8, 2010); ''20 Odd Years, Vol. 2: Distance'' (July 12, 2010); ''20 Odd Years, Vol. 3: Albuquerque'' (August 10, 2010); and ''20 Odd Years, Vol. 4: Cenotaph'' (September 14, 2010). The latter EP was withdrawn from availability, presumably due to copyright issues involving Buck's sampling of the [[Bronski Beat]] single, "[[Smalltown Boy]]."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.covermesongs.com/2011/10/under-the-radar-buck-65.html|title=Under the Radar: Buck 65|first=Ray|last=Padgett|date=October 21, 2011|website=Covermesongs.com}}</ref> The album primarily featured songs from these EPs, including a cover of [[Leonard Cohen]]'s "[[Who by Fire (song)|Who By Fire]]", as well as two previously unreleased songs. Buck 65 later released an additional EP in the series titled ''20 Odd Years Vol. 4: Ostranenie'' (November 21, 2011).{{citation needed|date=January 2015}}

Buck 65 released ''[[Neverlove]]'' on September 30, 2014. The album was inspired by his divorce from his ex-wife. One day before its release, he also released the more lighthearted, and previously unannounced, album ''[[Laundromat Boogie]]'' through producer Jorun Bombay's Bandcamp page. Prior to the release of ''Neverlove'', a music video for the album track "Super Pretty Naughty" was to be premiered by [[Entertainment Tonight]], but according to Buck 65 on his website, "...when they saw the video and heard the song, they banned it from their show for what they deemed to be objectionable visual and lyrical content."<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://buck65.com/buck/news/banned-by-primetime/ |title=Archived copy |access-date=October 30, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141030023802/http://buck65.com/buck/news/banned-by-primetime/ |archive-date=October 30, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Hiatus===
Terfry released an autobiography ''Wicked and Weird: The amazing tales of Buck 65'' in 2015.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Collison |first1=Robert |title=Wicked and Weird: is this the real story of Buck 65? |url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/wicked-and-weird-is-this-the-real-story-of-buck-65/article_94815cd5-3925-5338-9b83-93878f46e481.html |website=Toronto Star |date=August 29, 2015 |access-date=16 February 2024}}</ref>

Buck 65 played two shows with Symphony Nova Scotia on October 2 and 3, 2015 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in one of his final appearances before an extended hiatus. He was unable to perform a scheduled DJ set at the CBC Music Festival in Toronto on May 28, 2016, due to last-minute technical difficulties.

Aside from a performance on July 10, 2018, at a tribute concert for the late Anticon Records co-founder Brendon Whitney aka [[Alias (musician)|Alias]], Buck 65 was on a musical hiatus from October 2015 until early 2020.
