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 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.
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'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.
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....
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 ....
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!
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 😉❤
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
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!
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.
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. 🙏
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!
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
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 🤘
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.
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.
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'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.
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!
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 ❤🇺🇸❤
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.
Yes! (This is a friendship I thought would last forever! I hope to see it amended & all the negative BS forgotten!) You guys are brothers, go back to being boys! Your children should get the chance to be friends 🙏
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.
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 ❤
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 👍👍🍻🍻
🥰 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
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
Im 44 and I love Both of Yalls music. Im old school country, but damn! I love the music yall produce. But I definitely listen to some old school shit too. Love it! Keep it up 🤘💪
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 🌽🤘
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.
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 ❤
Mad respect for both .... Clean money is my ringtone up at 4 in the morning home at 6 in the evening then hustling side jobs on weekends to keep me and the family fed and sheltered... yalls music is very uplifting and motivational 🙌 keep it going🤘
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 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
God bless all you guys. Upchurch Adam, jellyroll and struggle is literally all I listen too. You guys have made a giant impact in my life and it's my life goal to watch you all in concert and hopefully get to shake your hand. This story legit choked me up. Yall are the absolute best
Man I love how grateful you are of all your TH-cam viewers. I’ve been watching you since day one. Legit. And I follow a lot of TH-camrs. You are the only one that constantly thanks us. That always remembers where he came from, and acknowledges that we the viewers are a major reason for any TH-camrs success. Love you bro. Proud of you and happy for both you and Church.
Ryan is a great inspiration to me and many others. Watching and really HEARING what you said in this video, inspires this old man. Thanks for the honest discord,, I wish you well my friend!
Y’all both keep it straight and that’s why we all like and love y’all. All y’all. Adam/Church/Jelly/Struggle. Every country boy connected with Church. We loved what he sang. It touched me in a way that I never felt before. I lived the songs I herd. You Adam, took it to Beast mode brother. Man I could just run my mouth for ever. So to you all. I love y’all and what your putting out. We all do…. Thanks Tremendously to you and everyone involved. TRUTH
Mad respect to you Adam. Most people wouldnt tell this story and pay homage. You still picked up your own drum and made your own beat but awesome story to hear! Yall are both great. Keep it up!
That first song blew me away had me following you the rest of your life with much love and respect I am very happy to have come across that video I'm glad that you did what you did I'm glad for up church too you also help me out in my point of life from where I was at because you're a 1980 boy and I am too and a lot of things you say and are with your morals and values are so the same damn ones that I walked and live with every day too thank you always keep kicking ass
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
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.
Real talk you and ryan did what cash money and no limit did in the 90s. You guys are amazing and i appreciate your guys music and and everything that goes with it. Love this video
I love to hear these stories. This is why we love you guys. It always refreshing to hear people that are put on thrones reaffirm that they are regular people like their fans. Much love brother! And I don't consider any of you to be "country rap". To me y'all are hip hop artist!
Im going to turn 47 on April 11th and grew up in the 80s with the real rappers!! The ones telling us about their lives telling a story and let me tell you, you and Ryan are RAPPERS!! Yall tell a story that's the entire meaning of rap. This bullshit out today is superficial bullshit! Yall are doing your damn thing!! We are loving it! ✌❤🇺🇸🌍
This is awesome! Give people their roses while they’re still here. All in it together. That’s what a real music family is about. Much respect 🙏 and you are HipHop… at least in my book 📕 and I know a thing or 5million about music 🎶 🔥 music doesn’t have a color. It gives sight to the blind though! God bless 🙏
Bro, your east coast style is a breath of fresh air. That's the shit I grew up on. And similar to Church helping you realize you can rap for people like you, you're doing that for a lot of artist like me. Gonna be sad when you leave it, but you're going out on top, brother🤘🏻
Honestly, I’ve got mad respect for the both of you. And I can rack my brain with thousands of questions for y’all. Y’all inspire me to do better. I hope someday I get to ask those questions. And shake your hands and thank you for helping me get over shit, helping me get into shit, and helping me along this walk of life I’ve been through.
YOU, and every rapper you paid homage to.... All my favorites! I'm older that Demun, barely... I love y'alls shxt! Thanks for bringing rap back, for the OGs. I love rap, and can't stand 99% of the so called rappers out there. For real, y'all are resurrecting rear rapping.
You are both legends and honestly I'm thankful I had found both of you. Both of you have songs that hit hard for every situation in life. Throwing on a track when I'm going through something in life or feeling some type of way. That 3 -5 minutes will never be forgotten. So thank you Adam and Ryan. Yall are the musicians alot of us needed. Keep doing you kings 💪🏼

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. 🇺🇲
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 🤘

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.
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.
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!!
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.
You're right, we have watched y'all grow. I'm proud asf of u guys. Genuinely happy for u guys.
Ryan is an awesome artist. You're both breaking genres on mainstream but doing it all independent. Much love for your convictions and patriotism
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 🙏✌
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.
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
Yes! Love your muzic and hard work Adam and love Church especially the album’s and songs you guys did together amazing
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!
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 ❤🇺🇸❤
Bro the "Comrades" video will NEVER get old. Y'all are both awesome artists! Much respect 🇺🇲🤘🏼
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!!
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.
Hip hop was infiltrated by Islamic influence.
He does country rap, hick hop or Dirt Rock...pick the name. It is the best songs in the world to me. What you wanna call it?
@@candacesturtevant7139 uh rap that's what it is rap!
Love seeing these kind of comments, appreciate you making the comment brotha
Hip hop is beautiful right now....it's just not mainstream...that radio stuff isn't reflective of hip-hop....the underground is still amazing
Yes! (This is a friendship I thought would last forever! I hope to see it amended & all the negative BS forgotten!) You guys are brothers, go back to being boys! Your children should get the chance to be friends 🙏
Respect Dawg!!!! We got a bunch of youngins getting inspired by yall bringing the real rap back!!! #Hustlehard
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.
Thank you so much. Yours, Ryan ,Demun struggle, johns andCaitlens music has pulled me up in spirit through darkest of days. Love you man! Respect
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 ❤
Thanks for the history lesson. Looking forward to enjoying more hella hit songs from both you guys in the future!!
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 👍👍🍻🍻
🥰 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
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
I'm a proud Chicago moved to TN and glad to have the pleasure of listening to a home town dude thanks Adam
Love both of y’all man you have kept music alive for a few years now
Huge fan man!!! Love you and Upchurch!!
Im 44 and I love Both of Yalls music. Im old school country, but damn! I love the music yall produce. But I definitely listen to some old school shit too. Love it! Keep it up 🤘💪
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.
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.
You and church were meant to meet, just had to be the right time! I love all of you and and church music! Pure talent. Much love to you both!
Thats 1 of the reasons why I love you guys man, yall keep it humble! Props 👊🏻
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 ❤
Mad respect for both .... Clean money is my ringtone up at 4 in the morning home at 6 in the evening then hustling side jobs on weekends to keep me and the family fed and sheltered... yalls music is very uplifting and motivational 🙌 keep it going🤘
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!
That was some feel good talk. It makes me so happy to see the good guys win. Real stand up guys.
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
Yall are real true living legends Keep Grinding and taking over stay blessed
God bless all you guys. Upchurch Adam, jellyroll and struggle is literally all I listen too. You guys have made a giant impact in my life and it's my life goal to watch you all in concert and hopefully get to shake your hand. This story legit choked me up. Yall are the absolute best
This was so cool, thanks for letting us in on a bit of your life- you're awesome Adam!👍🏽
Man I love how grateful you are of all your TH-cam viewers. I’ve been watching you since day one. Legit. And I follow a lot of TH-camrs. You are the only one that constantly thanks us. That always remembers where he came from, and acknowledges that we the viewers are a major reason for any TH-camrs success. Love you bro. Proud of you and happy for both you and Church.
Great story. World needs more people like you & Ryan. Salt of the earth.
None of y’all get enough credit for how good y’all are both of y’all changed the game and raised the bar
🤘❤️🇺🇸 you boys are the real deal no doubt. Fuckin love yall 🤘
I been listening to you for 2yrs now and your music is steady getting better
Brother thanks for what you do and keeping the BACK BONE OF AMERICA STRONG 💪🇺🇸!!! Keep doing you and We The People are with you brother!
Ryan is a great inspiration to me and many others. Watching and really HEARING what you said in this video, inspires this old man. Thanks for the honest discord,, I wish you well my friend!
Y’all both keep it straight and that’s why we all like and love y’all. All y’all. Adam/Church/Jelly/Struggle.
Every country boy connected with Church. We loved what he sang. It touched me in a way that I never felt before. I lived the songs I herd. You Adam, took it to Beast mode brother. Man I could just run my mouth for ever. So to you all. I love y’all and what your putting out. We all do…. Thanks Tremendously to you and everyone involved.
TRUTH
Mad respect to you Adam. Most people wouldnt tell this story and pay homage. You still picked up your own drum and made your own beat but awesome story to hear! Yall are both great. Keep it up!
Murr-fishing? Is your last name Murray?
@@dakotamurray554 Yessir
Hi Adam .Much love to you and yours. Your Florida fans. Y’all did a great job! ✨💜🎶✨🌴🇺🇸
That first song blew me away had me following you the rest of your life with much love and respect I am very happy to have come across that video I'm glad that you did what you did I'm glad for up church too you also help me out in my point of life from where I was at because you're a 1980 boy and I am too and a lot of things you say and are with your morals and values are so the same damn ones that I walked and live with every day too thank you always keep kicking ass
Mad RESPECT Adam!! You and the boys are all amazing!
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
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.
Real talk you and ryan did what cash money and no limit did in the 90s. You guys are amazing and i appreciate your guys music and and everything that goes with it. Love this video
I love to hear these stories. This is why we love you guys. It always refreshing to hear people that are put on thrones reaffirm that they are regular people like their fans. Much love brother! And I don't consider any of you to be "country rap". To me y'all are hip hop artist!
Im going to turn 47 on April 11th and grew up in the 80s with the real rappers!! The ones telling us about their lives telling a story and let me tell you, you and Ryan are RAPPERS!! Yall tell a story that's the entire meaning of rap. This bullshit out today is superficial bullshit! Yall are doing your damn thing!! We are loving it! ✌❤🇺🇸🌍
It's really cool to hear how humble you are. You guys are great and my ears are glad that you guys collaborated.
This is awesome! Give people their roses while they’re still here. All in it together. That’s what a real music family is about. Much respect 🙏 and you are HipHop… at least in my book 📕 and I know a thing or 5million about music 🎶 🔥 music doesn’t have a color. It gives sight to the blind though! God bless 🙏
Thanks for telling this story. Not many artists explain how they actually got started. Much respect.
Bro, your east coast style is a breath of fresh air. That's the shit I grew up on. And similar to Church helping you realize you can rap for people like you, you're doing that for a lot of artist like me. Gonna be sad when you leave it, but you're going out on top, brother🤘🏻
Love your music keep it up
Way to go!, opening up for us and really showing appreciation to Upchurch! 🇺🇸
Everyone needs to see this, nobody ever knows the back story, struggles to achieve what yall have. Keep going man!
Honestly, I’ve got mad respect for the both of you. And I can rack my brain with thousands of questions for y’all. Y’all inspire me to do better. I hope someday I get to ask those questions. And shake your hands and thank you for helping me get over shit, helping me get into shit, and helping me along this walk of life I’ve been through.
This is a cool story.... Glad I got to hear this.... Thanks for putting it out there. 💋🇺🇸
That's really cool to hear I've been following you and Ryan since the beginning always will y'all are like my role model
YOU, and every rapper you paid homage to.... All my favorites!
I'm older that Demun, barely... I love y'alls shxt! Thanks for bringing rap back, for the OGs. I love rap, and can't stand 99% of the so called rappers out there. For real, y'all are resurrecting rear rapping.
You are both legends and honestly I'm thankful I had found both of you. Both of you have songs that hit hard for every situation in life. Throwing on a track when I'm going through something in life or feeling some type of way. That 3 -5 minutes will never be forgotten. So thank you Adam and Ryan. Yall are the musicians alot of us needed. Keep doing you kings 💪🏼
I love you guys thank you for everything you have done and will do. May God bless you Adam and Ryan
