”Ben Buck B Sides” is a remix compilation by rapper/beatboxer and producer, Ben Buck. Born and raised in Austin Texas, Ben Buck has become a mainstay of the underground hip-hop scene in Texas for the past several years. “B Sides” came about during the height of the 2020 coronavirus epidemic. With limited ways to collaborate with other artists face to face, Buck came up with a way to re-tool his past discography by sending out the acapellas from his past 3 albums (Kilroy, Speaker Bump Deluxe, and The Marquee) to producers all over the country. What came about was the first volume of “Ben Buck B Sides”.

With deep influences in the golden era and traditional styles of underground hip hop, Ben Buck strives to innovate and continue the legacy of artists who paved the way before him. Hailing from a musical family, Ben Buck’s father Mike Buck was a founding member of the legendary blues group “The Fabulous Thunderbirds”. Mike Buck is also the co-owner of the historic Antone’s Record Shop in Austin Texas where both Ben and his sister Billie work. His sister Billie Buck is also the frontwoman for the garage/punk band “Sailor Poon” (Austin Chronicle’s Best Punk Band 2018, 2019, and 2020). She is a gifted graphic designer and poster artist and frequently does designs for Ben’s merchandising and album covers.
