"The Buzz" is a song recorded by Australian hip hop duo Hermitude featuring Sydney based artist Mataya and New Zealand artist Young Tapz. It was released in April 2015 as the second single from their fifth studio album, Dark Night Sweet Light. 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.
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."
