Buckwild is a popular Hip hop producer hailing from The Bronx, New York. Originally a DJ, Buck began producing after meeting MC/Producer Lord Finesse. He later joined Finesse's super-crew D.I.T.C., along with Showbiz and A.G., Diamond D, Fat Joe, O.C. and the late Big L. His first major exposure came when he produced the majority of O.C.'s 1994 underground classic Word...Life, most notably the single "Time's Up". Also in '94, he produced 3 songs for Organized Konfusion's sophomore album Stress: The Extinction Agenda, as well as a track for Brand Nubian's Everything Is Everything album. Buck continued his exposure in 1995, producing on a number of hailed underground albums, including Big L's Lifestylez Ov Da Poor & Dangerous, AZ's Doe Or Die, Kool G Rap's 4,5,6, and Mic Geronimo's The Natural. In the mid-to-late 90's, he produced for artists like Akinyele, Tha Alkaholiks, Beastie Boys, Big Pun, Brand Nubian, Capone-N-Noreaga, Diamond D, Fat Joe, Jay-Z, Ma$e, Memphis Bleek, Nas, O.C., Organized Konfusion, Sadat X, RA the Rugged Man, Mad Skillz and The Notorious B.I.G.. Perhaps his most famous beat came in 2000, with Black Rob's hit single "Whoa!". Recently, Buckwild has produced for 50 Cent, Beanie Sigel, Cormega, OutKast, Nas and The Game.
