Bronx, NY -- Active 1993-present -- Born David Mahone
Buckwild is a D.I.T.C. (Diggin' in the Crates) producer who built his career on the combination of boom-bap drums and meticulously sourced soul and jazz loops. His production credits include Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Big L, and Lord Finesse.
Buckwild's loops are usually single-bar phrases from obscure soul records, played straight without pitch manipulation. He trusts the source material to carry the melodic weight.
