Rising from the streets of South East London, D Buck, the rap alter ego of Daniel Buckley, has just dropped his latest project, Never Let The Light Go Out, and it’s a journey through frustration, self-realization, and unapologetic vibes. With a lyrical style that’s as raw as it is thoughtful, D Buck proves he’s an artist to watch in 2024.
The lead single, Dead End Job, encapsulates the energy of the album perfectly. According to D Buck, it’s all about escaping the mundane and finding joy in the struggle. “It’s a jumpy lyrical masterpiece,” he says, describing how the track touches on the frustration of running in the rat race. “It’s about breaking free from the matrix and having fun whilst doing so.”
D Buck’s creative process for this project was as cryptic as it was intricate. “A magician never reveals his tricks,” he jokes, but what he does share is that his process starts small and grows into something much larger, much like a “beautiful garden.” This patience and attention to detail are reflected throughout the project, from its tight production to its thought-provoking lyrics.
However, like many emerging artists, D Buck admits the promotional side of the music industry has its challenges. “I wish more people were listening to me, and I’m willing to do anything it takes to capture people’s attention.” While he’s pushing hard to build his audience, the music speaks for itself.
Looking ahead, D Buck already has plans for the future. He’s started working on a new project, with a planned release midway through 2025. “It’s still early days, but it’s already sounding very unique and a step ahead from this amazing project,” he shares confidently. For fans who can’t get enough of his current sound, there’s a lot more on the way.
When asked about his dream collaborations, D Buck’s influences shine through. “Kodak Black, Young Thug, and Future,” he says without hesitation. These names give a clue to his sound — a mix of melodic flows, street narratives, and cutting-edge production that pays homage to his US rap idols while keeping things distinctly British.
So who exactly is D Buck? He’s an artist who has been honing his craft since the age of 13, starting with poetry before transitioning to rap. Hailing from Kent and South East London, he’s someone who balances his music with a grounded life — working, spending time with family, and even hitting the sauna for some downtime. His top hobbies? Video games, socializing, and indulging in quality films and TV series.
Never Let The Light Go Out is not just an album title but a mantra for D Buck. It’s a reminder that despite the odds, he won’t let his passion for music dim. For fans of hard-hitting UK rap with a fresh perspective, this project is a must-listen. Keep your eyes on D Buck — he’s just getting started.
