Richard Terfry (born March 4, 1972), better known by his stage name Buck 65, is a Canadian alternative hip hop artist. Underpinned by an extensive background in abstract hip hop, his more recent music has extensively incorporated blues, country, rock, folk and avant-garde influences.
Buck 65 has used a number of other stage names including 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.
Aside from a performance on July 10, 2018 at a tribute concert for the late Anticon Records co-founder Brendon Whitney aka Alias, Buck 65 was on indefinite musical hiatus from October 2015 until early 2020. In May 2020, Controller 7 released a new album, featuring Buck 65 on vocals and DJ scratches.
Rich Terfry aka Buck 65 currently hosts the Drive program on CBC Music Radio, Monday through Friday from 3:30pm to 7pm EST. In the summer period of 2021, he also hosts Deep Dive on CBC Radio One as a replacement for the now cancelled Vinyl Tap, where classic pop music albums are played in their entirety with their historical context discussed.
