The official Buck 65 site has a mixtape made by Buck called ‘Strong Arm’ for free download. In Buck’s own words:

Strong Arm is a “mixtape” in the New York-style underground hip hop sense of the word… with a twist. None of the instrumentals are from hip hop records. The music comes from the worlds of
punk, classical, folk, library music, everywhere else.

It was recorded in a day on a budget of $0 and it shows. This is a scrappy piece of work. There are loud vinyl pops, mistakes, vocal glitches… In other words, it’s very lo-fi.
Considering the patch-work, collage-style assembly and that everything was done by me, by hand, in my bedroom, I’m calling this Language Arts Part 7.
