At 11 years old, 42 Buck$ has spent the past two years writing and recording his debut album, The 5th Story, which will be released on August 22. To celebrate, he’ll be hosting a free, all-ages album release show at the Arcata Playhouse. The evening will feature performances by 42 Buck$, his mentor Dr. Oop, 42 Buck$’s younger brother DJ Hawk (8), DJ Tronics (12), Nac One, Zigzilla, and Flo J. Simpson, along with live art by Axel (12). Local videographer Cosmo Free has also been collaborating with 42 Buck$ on a music video that will premiere during the event. While admission is free, donations to support Playhouse Arts are gratefully appreciated. You can get tickets ahead of time online at playhousearts.org.
Every lyric on The 5th Story was written entirely by 42 Buck$ himself. The album is a collection of stories inspired by his own life celebrating family, friendships, basketball, music, the beauty of Humboldt County, and the everyday adventures of growing up here. He is excited to share his music with the community.
For the past two years, 42 Buck$ has also co-hosted a youth hip-hop radio show on Humboldt Hot Air 94.7 FM-LP Arcata alongside his younger brother, DJ Hawk, and their friend DJ 100%. Together, the three young DJs interview local guests, explore hip-hop history, talk about community events, tell jokes, play their favorite tracks, and have so much fun.
One of the most inspiring parts of this journey has been the support from Humboldt’s hip-hop community. Through the mentorship of dr.Oop and his hiphop workshop, the encouragement of Neroli Devaney at Humboldt Hot Air, the support of Union Street Charter School, and so many local artists who have welcomed and encouraged him, 42 Buck$ has discovered a positive and uplifting community. Support the youth!
