Richard Terfry is Buck 65, the man, the legend, the godfather of alternative-rap. Back in 2008 he released three independently produced mixtapes as part of what he dubbed the Dirtbike series. Now he has shared the newest installment entitled Dirtbike 4. A one-hour long track, the mixtape premiered on Complex who described it as “anchored by boom-bap instrumentals and a pervasive punk aesthetic.” Featuring a song about Rich’s distaste for The Police and another with sampling from John Lennon’s “Imagine,” the album is an extraordinary peek inside the mind of Buck 65.

Buck 65 describes his release by saying “Dirtbike 4 was recorded in my living room. This album – like the other Dirtbike albums – is a return to the approach I took when making albums like Vertex and Man Overboard in the late 90s. Mostly, Dirtbike 4 is an exercise in extreme self-indulgence by a white boy from Nova Scotia who was in high school between ’86 and ’89, the era of Ultramagnetic, M.C. Shan, Eric B. & Rakim, The Jungle Brothers, Mantronix, Run-DMC and UTFO. It’s dirty.” Be sure to listen and share the album on Soundcloud.
