With his first album in 3 years 'Neverlove' out this week, Buck 65 is taking to Reddit to do an AMA right now (150+ fans have submitted questions already). Check it out here: http://shorefi.re/RedditAMAB65
In a lengthy interview with Vice Noisey this week, Buck talked about the catharsis behind what they called a "partly therapeutic and deeply affecting" album. Read the q&a here, and see more press praise below. http://noisey.vice.com/en_ca/blog/buck65-interview

Praise for 'Neverlove':
"Partly therapeutic and deeply affecting" - Vice Noisey
"Dense wordplay and music that pushes against expectations of how hip-hop should sound." - Entertainment Weekly
"Easily recognizable for his stream-of-consciousness, hyper-literate flow, 'Neverlove' uses [Buck's] eclectic, folky style to navigate the emotional aftermath of divorce." - Esquire
"No ordinary pop...["Super Pretty Naughty"] is unusually celebratory for a song about hitting rock bottom" - Time
"With 'Neverlove,' [Buck] explores his emotions while experimenting with new sounds." - Filter
" About as brutally honest as it gets...Neverlove stands out from that sprawling discography immediately by dropping the MC’s defenses more than he ever has and sharing the deeply sincere details of his recent divorce." - Self-Titled Magazine
"There's anger and sadness and a sense of bottomless loss, but those feelings are accompanied by hope, as if everything might eventually work out." - CBC
"Stunning" - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
