Funky Combinations :: ‘French Cuff Sleazy’ Live With The Triggermen And Ben ‘McNasty’ Buck

Last fall, The Triggermen released their latest album, Live Wire.  To celebrate its release, they threw a dope show at Beerland.  I was honored to be a part of it, and that night was my introduction to Ben ‘McNasty’ Buck.  His set was incredibly captivating, and then later that night, he took to the stage with The Triggermen for French Cuff Sleazy, and the results were fantastic.  The Triggermen were in the midst of capturing footage for their Party Pro video, and this was a pleasant bonus that has now been shared for the masses.

Brief Introduction :: Ben Buck Has ‘Been Buck’

One of the 2016 bright moments was meeting Ben Buck at Beerland during The Triggermen‘s album release show.  I was familiar with the name, but knew nothing about him as an artist.  Needless to say, his wonderful balance of beats, bars and beatboxing blew my mind.  His latest release, Been Buck, is a collaboration with beatsmith supreme Dr. Bobby Banner, MPC.  It’s reminiscent of those early 90s hip-hop tracks where you were allowed to be honest about yourself, joke about yourself and be a little clever as well, before everyone started taking themselves way too seriously.  Good jam for sure, and I’m looking forward to a full-length project… hopefully sooner than later!
