Rashaan Jackson (born 1973), better known by his stage names Buc Fifty, Bucwheed, and Buckwheat (of the Wascals), is an American rapper originally from New Rochelle, New York.

Career

In 1989, he moved to Los Angeles and formed the rap group The Wascals. In 1992, he was featured on a track from 5150: Home 4 tha Sick by Eazy-E and two tracks from Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde by The Pharcyde. In 1994, his group The Wascals released multiple singles with producer J-Swift, but their album was shelved.

From 1998 to 2001, he released multiple singles with producer The Alchemist. The two have an unreleased collaboration album titled Nigga Heaven, that was intended for release in 2001. In 1999, he made his first appearance on Battle Axe Records, on the compilation album Defenders of the Underworld.

In 2000, he appeared on a track from Soul Assassins II by Soul Assassins. Also in 2000, he was featured on four tracks from the compilation album Battle Axe Warriors. All four tracks appear on his debut album Bad Man, released in 2002 by Battle Axe Records. The album's title track, which samples Scarface and "Dream On" by Aerosmith, reached number 9 on Gavin Report's rap/hip-hop radio airplay chart, and number 7 on Hits Magazine's Rap Radio Top Thirty. He was featured twice on the 2001 album Bad Dreams by Swollen Members, and once on their 2002 album Monsters in the Closet.

In 2004, he released his second album, also on Battle Axe Records, titled Serve the Devil, Praise the Lord. In 2005, he released his third album Rethuglican with Delicious Vinyl, under the name Bucwheed. The album is produced entirely by J-Swift, along with The Wascals long-awaited album Greatest Hits, which released in 2007.
