"The Buzz" is a song recorded by Australian hip hop duo Hermitude featuring Sydney based artist Mataya and New Zealand artist Young Tapz.[1] It was released in April 2015 as the second single from their fifth studio album, Dark Night Sweet Light.[1] The song peaked at number 20 on the ARIA Charts and was certified platinum. It poled at number 8 in the Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2015.

At the APRA Music Awards of 2016, the song was nominated for Urban Work of the Year.[2]

Reception

Howles and Echos said "It begins innocuously enough, mashing Mataya’s muted, soft vocals with a quiet, throbbing synth. This flows into Young Tapz injection of Aussie hip-hop, raising the intensity ever slightly. However, it is the euphoric, filthy drop that comes out of nowhere that elevates the song into one of Hermitude's greatest tracks."[3]
