Square (album)
Square is a studio album by Canadian hip hop musician Buck 65.[6] It was released on WEA in 2002.[2] Though it consists of four tracks, each track consists of multiple songs.[1]
It was nominated for the 2003 Juno Awards for Alternative Album of the Year and Album Design of the Year.[7]
Reception
Rollie Pemberton of Pitchfork Media gave Square a 7.0 out of 10 and called it "a melodic mix of folk rock sensibility, smooth early 90s style production, clever lyrical observations and a relatively enjoyable train ride into the mental station of Halifax's best-known emcee."[1] Meanwhile, Clay Jarvis of Stylus Magazine gave the album a grade of B+, saying, "Square is built solely out of his strengths: hazy introspection, sparse snare-and-kick beats and simple, dismal instrumental refrains."[3]
