I discovered all you guys a few months ago through Brodnax 16 bar challenge. I'm a 54 yr old black guy from Texas and a rap fan since the 70's. It's hard to impress me and I haven been impressed with any new rapper since Eminem. All you guys bring it on a level I've never seen. Much respect. 💯
I appreciate you and your music. This story put the fire back in me to get my music right. I was paralyzed at 17 and lost my girl and unborn child. I spent a chunck of time just staying messed up. I finally figured out that wasn't what I want. Picked up a guitar at 25 and now I'm 36. I'm close to my goal of getting off the disability check. I might not be able to walk but I know I ain't disabled from making it. Thank you! Love and Support from Alabama!
@isaacgodwin3429..... Yo, thats a brutal and unfair situation for a 17 year old kid, but unless you're quadriplegic, and/or the accident affected your brain and "slowed" you down, Im sorry, there's NO excuse for not having a job at 36 and living off the government for two decades. Maybe there's more to it, but from just the info relayed in your comment, you relying on the govt to support you is unnecessary if your brains healthy, there's no reason you're not able to support yourself after 20 years. If you've lived with the injuries you have without giving up, turning bitter, feeling sorry for yourself etc... then you obviously have the character, resilience, fortitude and mental strength that any company would highly value.... if you were able to make a life for yourself and find any kind of happiness after a tragedy at such an important and young age, then thats proof you're not afraid to attack and overcome the largest of challenges and you're damn sure better than having to be supported....
You probably won’t see this. But your music has helped me through my depression since my daughter died. I’ve really been struggling a lot. My son died in 2014 and my daughter died in August 2021 and then I totaled my car. I literally am on the verge of eviction bc I can’t work or go to school bc I don’t have a car anymore. But your music and funny videos have truly helped me through so many rough days.
I wish Adam or Tom would show up on TimCast IRL. They could get some of those fence sitters to lean more to the right side of things. Plus, Tim is from Chicago also.
I'm 40 years old and I grew up a hardcore hip hop fan. DMX, Wu-Tang, Mob Deep, Eminem, Tupac, etc and I am so disappointed where hip hop is right now. It feels dirty to even call it hip hop. The auto-tune, mumbling shit. You and Church have more lyrical skill than all the mainstream stuff. So people shouldn't dumb you guys down to "country rap", whatever that means. I'm from Boston and not a fan of country music at all lol, but I'm a fan of your stuff. Keep doing what you're doing man.
I'm a metal guy but you guys and some girls in "Country Rap" have really appealed to me as of late. No autotune. Good beats. Many times a good message. Good people. Big trucks. Love it.
41 year old bricklayer here who was surprised to be drawn in by Upchurch a few years ago. I love rap music and country music and honestly whatever tingles my ears! I love the independent aspect of what you do ACal and hope this is just the beginning! You and Jelly, Struggle, Church and Leonard have built something really special and I'm voting y'all for Super Bowl halftime show whenever this country can grow some balls!
I think you guys each do your own thing, there's no way ppl can really compare your guy's stuff, you, church, jelly, struggle, demun & Tom., you guys all bring something different to our ears, different stories different experiences. I love y'alls individuality.
And Brodnax!! I agree. They are all unique and do it their own way and I love listening to all of them individually and together in collabs/features! Best artists around and killing it independently while still being good people.
The song Die Tonight was my Anthem during the George Floyd bs. I deliver goods throughout Minnesota, and had many nights of going into Minneapolis. Love all of you guys and the great music you all put out. Thank you for giving true rap fans something to listen to again.
You said something that I can agree with 100 f****** percent and that is the George Floyd s*** was all a bunch of hyped up fuckn bullshit. A low life career criminal!
@@gottmituns6628 its pretty bad when you have to say that. Whats worse is that you'd be considered a racist for just simply telling the truth. Yes, stay out of the dark areas! Never relax around ....
Church music has inspired me so much I remember listening to die tonight music at 11 living at my friends house his old stuff just brings me back and reminds me to keep going
Truck it up! When I start getting tired and need something to wake me up I listen to Adam, Upchurch, struggle, brodnax. It pumps me up and keeps me rolling in my 68mph ride. You know cause it keeps the insurance bill lower lol. 40yrs old, 3rd generation driver, started riding with my dad when I was 4. Never wanted to do anything else. Stay safe!
The crazy thing is y’all don’t owe us an explanation on your lives, but like the comment below you are 100% humble and truly a stand up American. And I speak for myself and anyone else who feels this way, but it’s much appreciated what you do man, and enjoy y’all’s music. I got the clean money dirty hands hat. Mr. Calhoun, thank you for the story. And Upchurch, thank you for helping this guy out. Y’all are truly stand up Guys/Americans, and As a fan of you guys. I may not know yall, but I am Proud of yall. Keep it up yall. God Bless! Much Love from Arkansas! 🙏🏻
I have the same hat, and for me it stands for so much more than just being a hat with a slogan, it's a real way of life, one that I'm proud to live! #DirtyHandsCleanMoney
Just keep it growing y’all. Haters gonna hate but y’all grew rapidly and you touch a whole different side of people, rap, hip hop, country… possibilities are endless and y’all stay proving it. Love yall
Love both of you!! I'm a 51 yr old retired 100% disabled Army veteran and just started listening to you guys not long ago and i love your messages, thank you all of you for keeping it real!! 🇺🇲 Keep doing what your doing!! We're listening 😉❤
Being from middle TN, listening to Jelly, Struggle, and most importantly Upchurch, brought me to listening to you. Love all you guys. Btw that’s one hell of a picture of all four of you guys! Keep doing your thing!
As someone who knows Calhoun personally I’m just letting you guys, everything Adam is saying is honest and true. He’s been a close friend of me and my family for at least the past 19 years.. He has always been a humble great guy. He used to rap as a hobby hoping it could go somewhere and to me I thought he was ridiculously talented and I’m not even a huge rap fan but I have an ear for great music. His original mixtape he made by himself was and still is my favorite shit he’s done. “Under pressure” that shit was jamming in my car had other friends asking “who is this dude!!?” And I was making cds for close friends of mine that didn’t run in his circle and everyone loved it.. but with him busting his ass working it was a hobby, until he had to go in to serve his time.. We all threw him one of the craziest parties for him going away. Then he went in to prison and me my family all would pool money together and load up his commissary until finally he got out. Right away my Dad gave him a job as a tow truck driver and he busted his ass doing that (highly dangerous job btw) but he was like family. The whole time I’d always be telling him all these people are jammin his shit at parties trying to get him to rap more but it didn’t fit in those struggling years. But when he decided he wanted to make videos I remember him calling me up asking me lug my iMac to come over and do some graphic design work for his banners and profile pic shit and I knew he had that personality to make it so I had faith he could get to where he is at now.. I’m just saying he’s a true dude with actual talent so if any haters out there think he’s not being real I can confirm what he says is true and he actually downplays the struggle actually. Also Adam we still have your old old mp3s (tour bus shit) I think you should post some of that shit man. Adam if you see this hit me up bro, it’s Tony, I’m stuck in a ditch and it’s 3:30am I need you to winch me out and give me a ride home haha! But for real hit me up bro I’d love to work on art in any format for you again.
@@nanojjwut947 I think you meant to say you don't think anyone doubted his realness PERIOD whether it's in doing a funny video of serious video or a rap song. I spotted his authenticity the first video I seen him in which was "Did you America Today" and I kept watching cuz I never doubted him since then when he started putting rap music on here I knew I was right when I had a good feeling about him as I'm sure you did too I'm not on here trying to argue with you or "troll" you as these kids have been saying for the last 15 years... They didn't use that word back in my day when you used to use AOL discs so you can get an extra 1,200 hours of being online with your dial-up modem or even when they came out with roadrunner high-speed AOL. LMAO Anyways take it easy bro.
Wow. Thats so awesome. I learned alot about Adam just in this video and your comment. Tow truck drivers are underappreciated. I was one. Aint nothing better than a person that truly shows their love for America like him.
Here the thing y’all are rappers who can speak to fans unlike other country artists y’all use stuff that I can actually relate to love back and forth you to on a song just crush it keep crushing it man y’all just do it different 🌽🤘
LMAO! My 6yr old son and I have watched the "a straightener 👏" video tons of times, its funny everytime! We've watched a few different funny short vids . You and Upchurch are some good ol boys and I enjoy and proud to jam yalls music! 😍😊🤘 much love!
Man just hearin this story and hearin Upchurch's story helped me have the guts to try to chase my dream I've been spendin money to open up my own body shop followin in my dad's footsteps I know it ain't the same as bein a rapper but it's a dream all the same but anyway just hearin these stories drives me to do this dream, respect to you Calhoun for chasin somethin and blowin up
Ryan, You and a bunch of others helped me more than they know. Music and my kids and GOD are what help get me through life. Thank you all for everything that y'all do. 🙏
I found overtime by accident one day. I started listening to him and your guys stuff started to be recommended on RUclips. Have been a fan ever since then.
Dieing tonight song is myring tone lol both you and #Ryan upchurch have been such an impact on my life with my ups and downs #upchurch music has kept my spirits strong and have opened my eyes to so much more out of my life and I hope both you boys do more songs together your both country rap gods to me 👍👍🍻🍻
Dear Adam, I'm nothin but a white dude from Indiana. I understand your art my father's black so I'm a panda. Upchurch made a spark like a plug to this channel. Made that last line soon as you brought up your grandpa. Oddly enough my grandma still says "your father" Until he was gone it never seemed to bother. It broke my family down, it feels like I have big shoes to fill. The oldest man there but I don't come around, to much to feel. I felt that one thing when you was in the paper, church was on the phone that shit stuck like now and laters. I'm not asking to be on but I guess it's now or alligators. I have this in my heart but my heart's been sand paper. Thank you for the inspiration and I wanna thank you for the music. Sincerely a crazy white boy holding on so he don't loose it.
I've been watching you Adam and Ryan since 2017 since my daughter died you helped me stay focused thank you for keeping it real and giving back to your country the way you both do I'd be lost for real from the music to your funny videos to being serious thank you
Sorry for your loss sis my daughter Skyla pass away in 2004 I understand being lost I was for years keep your head up stay strong I won't say it gets easier but stay strong love ❤💗♥
April, I lost a son in 2017. I am so very sorry for your loss. I understand. I shut the rest of the world out and turned to music. That was when I found Upchurch and Adam as well as Jelly Roll, Demun Jones, Struggle and Tom. I was able to get lost in their words and there was something just comforting about it.
Adam the first time I ever saw you was on a video of you shaving your beard in support of a little girl who had lost her hair due to cancer. I think you may have raised money for her. I thought that was so freaking cool of you and I instantly had mad respect for you. Seeing that, and reading people's comments about what a cool dude you were, made me look you up to see what you were all about. Everything I see out of you gets better and better. Keep on truckin man. You're kicking ass at this thing called life, and I see big things in your future brother. Mad respect to you and Church both ❤
Adam, I got 15 or so years on you. Saw you and Demun in Ramona, KA, with my Brother, who is not my blood. WE ARE BROTHERS. You are 100%. You get credit, you give credit! We are never any better than the folks we are around. Thank you for being, what we all should be naturally. You and our kind are what people should aspire to be... Love you, Brother ❤🇺🇸❤
Thank you to the two of you men , any goal I’ve set I’ve accomplished , left school after 8th grade (2016) had issues with kids and teacher cuz of where I raised I was a farm boy and sitting behind a desk wasn’t for me … left school and I went farming for many farms in the area , got into turning wrenches when I was 16 listening to upchurch and it all continued ( with you ,struggle,Jelly roll etc.)now as of almost a year ago I got hired in a big ag equipment shop as a service tech , you guys are the face to what I call blue collar music you know the struggle and have always been real , thank you for that
My father was a Green Beret in vietnam, severely wounded in Laos, doing recon on the Ho Chi Minh trail in 68. He used to tell me about the tunnels and how bad it was. So I really like the song Rooster (Alice in Chains) and I came across this dude that did a cover, so I listened to it. It was amazing, so I looked up his other music and thus this 61 year old got hooked on Country Rap. Listening to you, Jelly, Struggle, Justin Time, Demon, and a lot more. My son told me that I got to listen to Tom MacDonald. I grew up hating pop music, and still do, which is what most country is today. I love heavy metal. I enjoyed you and your son's videos. Keep it going guys. The People's Freedom Convoy could use you.
I met you at a concert a few years back when you came to Reading, Pa. You're down to earth, and genuine. It was awesome. Definitely wanna go see upchurch in concert next, because you guys are very relatable and cool ass people
Bad Ass Brotha. Always good to hear You, Upchurch & the others you mentioned. You guy's changed the scene. I grew up listening to Everything from Kid Rock Korn, Slipknot, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ACDC, Easy E, Wu-Tang, George Strait, Jamie Johnson, Hank 1 2 & 3, Willie, Waylon, David Allen, and many many more. Still to this day I listen to all these guys and now including Calhoun, Tom McDonald, Church, Jelly, Struggle. Just keep being real brotha!
Listen young man, you’ve earned your spot and the downright respect from the fans. Keep your working man’s head about you, love your family and your country.
The picture of you, church, jelly, and struggle is my Home Screen, I’ve idolized and listened to yalls music for the past like 5-6 years I love y’all and yalls music 🤘
Omg its been 5yrs! Doesn't seem that long. I remember when those little skits came out. We love you guys and how Yall keep it real. We need more men like yall in this world. We dont call it county rap...We call it Hick Hop js
Broadnax is a beast too he has a badass funky vibe. Good to know people still show respect to others that helped them or made them want to push that extra yard.
Adam and Church, if you see this, would love to see another song between you 2 and Demun Jones. Love the Song Country and I consider you 3 the Trifecta. Any mix of you 3 is InstaGold. Also gotta show love to Struggle, Jelly Roll, Savannah Dexter, and my Hometown Boy Hard Target!
Would love to see a part 2 of Back N Forth. One can really tell in that song that you two are connected somehow and have a very deep brotherly love for one another.
Hay man I listen to u and church all the time I'm in the same boat as u where homeless living in a tent by the river but what gets me though the days is siting in my chair on RUclips listening to you guys every day keep doing what u guys r doing
Wow I didn’t know that’s how you and Church met, cool, love both of you guys and your music. That song DIE TONIGHT is one of my favorite… it’s my ringtone.
You prob not gonna see this, but i found your music before i had ever known church existed so keep up the good work!! I found ya off tiktok a long time ago!! Mad respect!!
My memory is shit but everytime I see your videos, there's something that sparks a memory where I feel like you an I have crossed paths at some point. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and out in North Chicago. Spent a lot of time in Elgin and Naperville and on the north side. Idk what it is but you seem so familiar....outside this social media stuff. I don't remember a lot of people from back in the day cause I never cared to know them! But for someone to stick in my mind, means that they were good people. And that's exactly what you are, Adam! Congrats on all your success! You're the true meaning of the American dream. Anything is possible if you're willing to put in the work!
I love all you guys Brodnax, Mesus, Upchurch, Demun, Struggle, Jelly Roll, Tom and you for different reasons, but connect to all of your lyrics... thank you all!! 💜💜 Maybe someday I can see you all live... that would be 🔥🔥🤯 poor Upchurch gets trashed it seems more than the rest of you guys for some reason 🤷🏻♀️
@@Tat2d_Barbi_420 I don't believe ACal gives too many fucks either. He says what he wants and does what he wants. God knows so does Tom. So that may not be a valid reason why Church gets so much shit.
@@flash2tz UpChurch gets the most shit because he always waves the confederate flag and that always triggers the sensitive snowflakes who don’t have a clue about southern heritage
I love hearing about your grind. Young men need more role models like you and Ryan. Real men are such a rarity. Especially in my neck of the woods. Keep grinding boys. Young women out there need to see that. Much love ❤
That's what's up brother I watch both of your stuff and I'll listen to both of your music and I love it keep it going from Ukraine with love living Graham Washington came here in 2001 love for all you American people love you guys
Jellyrool struggle upchurch and you are the goats for shure I rember a few years listening to struggle and changed some of my views and listen to him since he's been out you guys are lyrical and rapper putting your life into rap 🙏
I’m just grateful that I can bump bars in my car in the city an not be callled a poser. I grew up listening to rap and life wasn’t easy. Many nights I slept in tunnels and alleys. It was a struggle. Overcoming what I have it’s great to have artist that pave the way for us rednecks to listen to rap wherever and not be a shit head for it.
What's good Adam? Not going to lie I wasn't a big fan when I first heard of you and your music, but as time went on and I watched more and more videos of yours I respect you and what you do. We aint so different and I think that's what changed my thought about you to be honest. I'm up here in Wisconsin I'm not a rapper but can appreciate the music that I listen to. Keep doing your think man and never look back.
Brother the videos of you as a father, is how I found you and it loved them, when I found your music " I was like hey I watch his videos, I didn't know he did music too" that's been several years ago now 🤙 I am glad that it worked out for you, that's for damn sure!
Bro 3 years ago I had no idea who you or Church were until I stumbled onto your videos on Facebook. Started listening to you two then found Jelly Roll and Struggle. I’ve been to see Jelly and going to see him again this year in Charlotte NC. North Carolina need all four of y’all on tour again. Would be the baddest show on earth. Y’all have a crazy fan base here.
You and ryan are the only true country hits i listen to other than 90s hits but yall two are the best yet! I want to thank you two for the entertainment and awesome hits 🙏✌
🥰 I'm proud of you. Too many people have forgotten to be grateful 🙏 & being humble, shows how strong and faithful you are! This is awesome! Keep putting this out
Omg, the comrades vid, I've watched it and shared many times over... "A straightener" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just the little bit that I know about you, I respect your morals, your life code, and your integrity.. YOU SHINE ACAL!!
I’ll do the story of me and Tom also. That’s a different chapter in the book.
Ayyyy make it a series!!!!
Bro, I’ve built a veterans retreat that I think you’d really dig and I know we would love to have you apart of.
Damn Brother, hope there wasn’t a falling out with Mesus. Keep up the great work Good Sir. Semper FI!
I love how candid you are
🙏
Dude fuckin love you dawg 💪🏻🤍
Fuck yea churchman. Love ya and acal. Hope yall doing well

His original mixtape he made by himself was and still is my favorite shit he’s done. “Under pressure” that shit was jamming in my car had other friends asking “who is this dude!!?” And I was making cds for close friends of mine that didn’t run in his circle and everyone loved it.. but with him busting his ass working it was a hobby, until he had to go in to serve his time.. We all threw him one of the craziest parties for him going away. Then he went in to prison and me my family all would pool money together and load up his commissary until finally he got out. Right away my Dad gave him a job as a tow truck driver and he busted his ass doing that (highly dangerous job btw) but he was like family. The whole time I’d always be telling him all these people are jammin his shit at parties trying to get him to rap more but it didn’t fit in those struggling years. But when he decided he wanted to make videos I remember him calling me up asking me lug my iMac to come over and do some graphic design work for his banners and profile pic shit and I knew he had that personality to make it so I had faith he could get to where he is at now.. I’m just saying he’s a true dude with actual talent so if any haters out there think he’s not being real I can confirm what he says is true and he actually downplays the struggle actually. Also Adam we still have your old old mp3s (tour bus shit) I think you should post some of that shit man.
Adam if you see this hit me up bro, it’s Tony, I’m stuck in a ditch and it’s 3:30am I need you to winch me out and give me a ride home haha! But for real hit me up bro I’d love to work on art in any format for you again.
I dont think anyone doubted his realness in rap if hes not rapping pure truth who is?
@@nanojjwut947 I think you meant to say you don't think anyone doubted his realness PERIOD whether it's in doing a funny video of serious video or a rap song. I spotted his authenticity the first video I seen him in which was "Did you America Today" and I kept watching cuz I never doubted him since then when he started putting rap music on here I knew I was right when I had a good feeling about him as I'm sure you did too I'm not on here trying to argue with you or "troll" you as these kids have been saying for the last 15 years... They didn't use that word back in my day when you used to use AOL discs so you can get an extra 1,200 hours of being online with your dial-up modem or even when they came out with roadrunner high-speed AOL. LMAO
Anyways take it easy bro.
That's awesome! Thank you for taking the time to write and share it! I am surprised you can't just text or call him though. 🤔
Good friend but didn't like your comment but liked Upchurch comment and others all around yours but not yours
Wow. Thats so awesome. I learned alot about Adam just in this video and your comment. Tow truck drivers are underappreciated. I was one. Aint nothing better than a person that truly shows their love for America like him.
Here the thing y’all are rappers who can speak to fans unlike other country artists y’all use stuff that I can actually relate to love back and forth you to on a song just crush it keep crushing it man y’all just do it different 🌽🤘
Rap is rap. I don't see tractors and tree stands vs skyscrapers and taxis
@@timclark3379 come on man you cant tell me that the song crossroads by adam calhoun isnt country?
And they do it as themselves which makes them so loved and inspiring.
Bro the "Comrades" video will NEVER get old. Y'all are both awesome artists! Much respect 🇺🇲🤘🏼
LMAO! My 6yr old son and I have watched the "a straightener 👏" video tons of times, its funny everytime! We've watched a few different funny short vids . You and Upchurch are some good ol boys and I enjoy and proud to jam yalls music! 😍😊🤘 much love!
Hearing you say your son is 22 just tells me how long I’ve been following you bro. I remember his senior year like it was a month ago!!
Man just hearin this story and hearin Upchurch's story helped me have the guts to try to chase my dream I've been spendin money to open up my own body shop followin in my dad's footsteps I know it ain't the same as bein a rapper but it's a dream all the same but anyway just hearin these stories drives me to do this dream, respect to you Calhoun for chasin somethin and blowin up
Ryan, You and a bunch of others helped me more than they know. Music and my kids and GOD are what help get me through life. Thank you all for everything that y'all do. 🙏
I found overtime by accident one day. I started listening to him and your guys stuff started to be recommended on RUclips. Have been a fan ever since then.
🤘❤️🇺🇸 you boys are the real deal no doubt. Fuckin love yall 🤘
Ryan is an awesome artist. You're both breaking genres on mainstream but doing it all independent. Much love for your convictions and patriotism
Dieing tonight song is myring tone lol both you and #Ryan upchurch have been such an impact on my life with my ups and downs #upchurch music has kept my spirits strong and have opened my eyes to so much more out of my life and I hope both you boys do more songs together your both country rap gods to me 👍👍🍻🍻
Dear Adam, I'm nothin but a white dude from Indiana.
I understand your art my father's black so I'm a panda.
Upchurch made a spark like a plug to this channel.
Made that last line soon as you brought up your grandpa.
Oddly enough my grandma still says "your father"
Until he was gone it never seemed to bother.
It broke my family down, it feels like I have big shoes to fill.
The oldest man there but I don't come around, to much to feel.
I felt that one thing when you was in the paper, church was on the phone that shit stuck like now and laters. I'm not asking to be on but I guess it's now or alligators. I have this in my heart but my heart's been sand paper.
Thank you for the inspiration and I wanna thank you for the music.
Sincerely a crazy white boy holding on so he don't loose it.
I've been watching you Adam and Ryan since 2017 since my daughter died you helped me stay focused thank you for keeping it real and giving back to your country the way you both do I'd be lost for real from the music to your funny videos to being serious thank you
Sorry for your loss bud.
@@ryant390 thank you
Sorry for your loss sis my daughter Skyla pass away in 2004 I understand being lost I was for years keep your head up stay strong I won't say it gets easier but stay strong love ❤💗♥
April, I lost a son in 2017. I am so very sorry for your loss. I understand. I shut the rest of the world out and turned to music. That was when I found Upchurch and Adam as well as Jelly Roll, Demun Jones, Struggle and Tom. I was able to get lost in their words and there was something just comforting about it.
@@daynastraley2953 I'm not lost they help me get through all my pain
You and Ryan Upchurch are the best country rap/rap singer I've ever heard. You both changed the way I look at music. I love your music man.
That song made me fall in love with both your styles of rapping It is why I'm a fan today
You and your buddies are the best. I only listen to independent artists now. Thanks for the music!
Thank you Adam. I found Upchurch thanks to your collaboration with Tom MacDonald. Now I'm listening to Tom, You, Dax, and Upchurch!
Adam the first time I ever saw you was on a video of you shaving your beard in support of a little girl who had lost her hair due to cancer. I think you may have raised money for her. I thought that was so freaking cool of you and I instantly had mad respect for you. Seeing that, and reading people's comments about what a cool dude you were, made me look you up to see what you were all about. Everything I see out of you gets better and better. Keep on truckin man. You're kicking ass at this thing called life, and I see big things in your future brother. Mad respect to you and Church both ❤
You guys are legends in the independent scene!! You guys are better than mainstream rappers. Can't wait to see more songs by all of you
Thank you for telling this story. Awesome to see how far you have come.
I see you every where 🤣
I can’t believe Alan TLCN is here!!
Adam, I got 15 or so years on you.
Saw you and Demun in Ramona, KA, with my Brother, who is not my blood. WE ARE BROTHERS. You are 100%. You get credit, you give credit! We are never any better than the folks we are around. Thank you for being, what we all should be naturally. You and our kind are what people should aspire to be... Love you, Brother ❤🇺🇸❤
Thank you to the two of you men , any goal I’ve set I’ve accomplished , left school after 8th grade (2016) had issues with kids and teacher cuz of where I raised I was a farm boy and sitting behind a desk wasn’t for me … left school and I went farming for many farms in the area , got into turning wrenches when I was 16 listening to upchurch and it all continued ( with you ,struggle,Jelly roll etc.)now as of almost a year ago I got hired in a big ag equipment shop as a service tech , you guys are the face to what I call blue collar music you know the struggle and have always been real , thank you for that
Life teaches much more than school ever will. 🇺🇲
My father was a Green Beret in vietnam, severely wounded in Laos, doing recon on the Ho Chi Minh trail in 68. He used to tell me about the tunnels and how bad it was. So I really like the song Rooster (Alice in Chains) and I came across this dude that did a cover, so I listened to it. It was amazing, so I looked up his other music and thus this 61 year old got hooked on Country Rap. Listening to you, Jelly, Struggle, Justin Time, Demon, and a lot more. My son told me that I got to listen to Tom MacDonald. I grew up hating pop music, and still do, which is what most country is today. I love heavy metal. I enjoyed you and your son's videos. Keep it going guys. The People's Freedom Convoy could use you.
Me at 44 I've listen to all types of music but now I'm listen to you Ryan Tom Bubba jelly roll all you guys I'll support. Much love to you guys
I met you at a concert a few years back when you came to Reading, Pa. You're down to earth, and genuine. It was awesome. Definitely wanna go see upchurch in concert next, because you guys are very relatable and cool ass people
Bad Ass Brotha. Always good to hear You, Upchurch & the others you mentioned. You guy's changed the scene. I grew up listening to Everything from Kid Rock Korn, Slipknot, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ACDC, Easy E, Wu-Tang, George Strait, Jamie Johnson, Hank 1 2 & 3, Willie, Waylon, David Allen, and many many more. Still to this day I listen to all these guys and now including Calhoun, Tom McDonald, Church, Jelly, Struggle.
Just keep being real brotha!
One of my favorite raps! Lesson to it daily!!!!
Ryan upchurch is awesome in many ways but his down to earth truthful soul is priceless!
Huge fan man!!! Love you and Upchurch!!
Listen young man, you’ve earned your spot and the downright respect from the fans. Keep your working man’s head about you, love your family and your country.
The picture of you, church, jelly, and struggle is my Home Screen, I’ve idolized and listened to yalls music for the past like 5-6 years I love y’all and yalls music 🤘
Copenhagen
Because of him I found your music and haven't stopped listening since 🤘💯🇺🇲
Bro I love that picture
You and Ryan both put out music that is fire. You both have your own style. Much love and respect to you both. Keep moving forward.
People still listening to that song still to this day in Michigan 2022
I am listening to your podcasts. I have heard your music 🎶 🎵 really like. Ryan Upchurch is a brilliant young man. I'm glad you are still pals.
You're right, we have watched y'all grow. I'm proud asf of u guys. Genuinely happy for u guys.
Omg its been 5yrs! Doesn't seem that long. I remember when those little skits came out. We love you guys and how Yall keep it real. We need more men like yall in this world. We dont call it county rap...We call it Hick Hop js
Broadnax is a beast too he has a badass funky vibe. Good to know people still show respect to others that helped them or made them want to push that extra yard.
Adam and Church, if you see this, would love to see another song between you 2 and Demun Jones. Love the Song Country and I consider you 3 the Trifecta. Any mix of you 3 is InstaGold.
Also gotta show love to Struggle, Jelly Roll, Savannah Dexter, and my Hometown Boy Hard Target!
None of y’all get enough credit for how good y’all are both of y’all changed the game and raised the bar
Would love to see a part 2 of Back N Forth. One can really tell in that song that you two are connected somehow and have a very deep brotherly love for one another.
Hay man I listen to u and church all the time I'm in the same boat as u where homeless living in a tent by the river but what gets me though the days is siting in my chair on RUclips listening to you guys every day keep doing what u guys r doing
Wow I didn’t know that’s how you and Church met, cool, love both of you guys and your music. That song DIE TONIGHT is one of my favorite… it’s my ringtone.
Respect Dawg!!!! We got a bunch of youngins getting inspired by yall bringing the real rap back!!! #Hustlehard
That was some feel good talk. It makes me so happy to see the good guys win. Real stand up guys.
You prob not gonna see this, but i found your music before i had ever known church existed so keep up the good work!! I found ya off tiktok a long time ago!! Mad respect!!
Good music, is good music. No matter the genre. PERIOD
My memory is shit but everytime I see your videos, there's something that sparks a memory where I feel like you an I have crossed paths at some point. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and out in North Chicago. Spent a lot of time in Elgin and Naperville and on the north side. Idk what it is but you seem so familiar....outside this social media stuff. I don't remember a lot of people from back in the day cause I never cared to know them! But for someone to stick in my mind, means that they were good people. And that's exactly what you are, Adam! Congrats on all your success! You're the true meaning of the American dream. Anything is possible if you're willing to put in the work!
I love all you guys Brodnax, Mesus, Upchurch, Demun, Struggle, Jelly Roll, Tom and you for different reasons, but connect to all of your lyrics... thank you all!! 💜💜 Maybe someday I can see you all live... that would be 🔥🔥🤯 poor Upchurch gets trashed it seems more than the rest of you guys for some reason 🤷🏻♀️
I agree! That's what I meant by my comment about Ryan not getting enough credit for the good he does!!
Bc Church dgaf and ppl hate him for it. They hate him bc they can’t get to him like that can a lot of the famous ppl in todays world.
@@Tat2d_Barbi_420 I don't believe ACal gives too many fucks either. He says what he wants and does what he wants. God knows so does Tom. So that may not be a valid reason why Church gets so much shit.
Is Upchurch the youngest of them all. I feel like people love to hate people doing better than them, especially if that person if younger.
@@flash2tz UpChurch gets the most shit because he always waves the confederate flag and that always triggers the sensitive snowflakes who don’t have a clue about southern heritage
You and Ryan Upchurch are the GOATS.
Love yalls shit.
This is a cool story.... Glad I got to hear this.... Thanks for putting it out there. 💋🇺🇸
I love hearing about your grind. Young men need more role models like you and Ryan. Real men are such a rarity. Especially in my neck of the woods. Keep grinding boys. Young women out there need to see that.
Much love ❤
Love both of y’all man you have kept music alive for a few years now
That's what's up brother I watch both of your stuff and I'll listen to both of your music and I love it keep it going from Ukraine with love living Graham Washington came here in 2001 love for all you American people love you guys
Jellyrool struggle upchurch and you are the goats for shure I rember a few years listening to struggle and changed some of my views and listen to him since he's been out you guys are lyrical and rapper putting your life into rap 🙏
This was so cool, thanks for letting us in on a bit of your life- you're awesome Adam!👍🏽
It's crazy where life takes us sometimes, Adam, for sure. The path of most importance comes with no directions; the destination is a surprise.
I love you giving props to Church! I love your transparency and your gratefulness!
I’m just grateful that I can bump bars in my car in the city an not be callled a poser. I grew up listening to rap and life wasn’t easy. Many nights I slept in tunnels and alleys. It was a struggle. Overcoming what I have it’s great to have artist that pave the way for us rednecks to listen to rap wherever and not be a shit head for it.
Thats 1 of the reasons why I love you guys man, yall keep it humble! Props 👊🏻
What's good Adam? Not going to lie I wasn't a big fan when I first heard of you and your music, but as time went on and I watched more and more videos of yours I respect you and what you do. We aint so different and I think that's what changed my thought about you to be honest. I'm up here in Wisconsin I'm not a rapper but can appreciate the music that I listen to. Keep doing your think man and never look back.
Brother the videos of you as a father, is how I found you and it loved them, when I found your music " I was like hey I watch his videos, I didn't know he did music too" that's been several years ago now 🤙 I am glad that it worked out for you, that's for damn sure!
Bro 3 years ago I had no idea who you or Church were until I stumbled onto your videos on Facebook. Started listening to you two then found Jelly Roll and Struggle. I’ve been to see Jelly and going to see him again this year in Charlotte NC. North Carolina need all four of y’all on tour again. Would be the baddest show on earth. Y’all have a crazy fan base here.
You both have come a long way in 5 years. I love listening to you, Ryan, Tom and jelly roll
Hi Adam .Much love to you and yours. Your Florida fans. Y’all did a great job! ✨💜🎶✨🌴🇺🇸
Y’all are the best man. Keep up the fire ass music. Listen to it everyday
You and ryan are the only true country hits i listen to other than 90s hits but yall two are the best yet! I want to thank you two for the entertainment and awesome hits 🙏✌
🥰 I'm proud of you. Too many people have forgotten to be grateful 🙏 & being humble, shows how strong and faithful you are! This is awesome! Keep putting this out
Omg, the comrades vid, I've watched it and shared many times over... "A straightener" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just the little bit that I know about you, I respect your morals, your life code, and your integrity.. YOU SHINE ACAL!!
you never gave up and now you are my favorite rapper ever I never even liked rap until you now is my thing you are my thing I love you
Great story. World needs more people like you & Ryan. Salt of the earth.
