Everyone should be free to imagine and reimagine what success is... 



Everyone should be free to imagine and reimagine what success is to them outside the market-driven idealized success that is fed to us via society. To me, success is more deeply rooted in our values, freedom, creativity, genuine happiness, safety, and healthy human relationships. Popular culture has become akin to a factory producing standardized cultural goods—films, songs, radio programmes, streaming services, magazines, etc. That kind of standardization creates a force field, where artifacts of culture that should be valued for their unique perspectives are instead valued by streams and attention, producing a false economy around art and the consumption of art. The result is that art becomes a product in the same way that Nike produces a t-shirt, where the same t-shirt is produced and reproduced over and over. In the same way, ideology streamlines itself, especially in music, and a lot of what gets attention is reproduced: a copy of a copy of a copy. Consumption of the easy pleasures of popular culture, made available by the mass communications media, renders people docile, no matter how difficult their economic circumstances. It shifts their values. The inherent danger of the culture industry is the cultivation of false psychological needs that can only be met and satisfied by the products of capitalism and not what humanity needs more of — a value system that works for freedom, creativity, safety, and genuine happiness. I’m reminded of this when I go into schools and spread the messages of love, peace, anti-racism, anti-bullying, etc. My music has never won a Grammy and never been number one on the billboard charts, but I consider myself vastly more successful than some artists who hit number one and are now ashamed of their “one-hit-wonder” status, or other artists who push negativity on the world, to in the end, only see themselves gain popularity or fame. In the community and culture of hip hop I grew up in, it was about the have nots; it was about revolution; it was about self expression and creativity that temporarily removed us from the pain and anguish of our every day existence emerging out low-income and high-crime neighborhoods.

Here’s what we could capture from backstage of our performances at Clark Moores Middle School, B. Michael Caudill Middle School, and Madison Middle School! Much love to all the faculty and staff for your support! The band and I had a great time, and as you see, the children did as well! #hiphop #chuckiecampbell #forthekids #newgeneration #buffalohiphop #kentuckyhiphop #buffalomusicians (at Richmond, Kentucky)

Another amazing night in Charleston, SC! We had two shows, the first being @thegrilledcheeseshow , which is a video blog that features live music performances from touring artist around the country, and the second was at @tin_roof_charleston , where we joined two of Charleston’s best, @rememba_me and @biggxld , and did a bourbon tasting brought to you in part by @threechordbourbon .

Check out the pictures below, and if you have it, please consider donating to our gofundme courtesy of @buffalomusicclub ! The link is in the comments. With their help, we’re making up ground on our tour budget, which fell deep in the red after just our second show in Rock Island, IL.

As some of you already know, after the show, two teenagers stole our tour vehicle and wrecked it 4 mins from away from where they took it. Of course, the next day, after trying to tow the totaled car to a different destination to have it worked on and assessed by insurance, our other vehicle had electrical problems. Both vehicles were not drive-able. Thus, in this wild twist of fate, we were forced to rent two rental vehicles at probably the worst time to rent (prices to rent for the amount of days we needed cost us thousands of dollars to keep the tour going). Somehow, through the kindness of people who want to see us succeed and do what we love, we’ve continued and fought through the adversity.

Tomorrow, we are in Richmond, Kentucky to play for Clark Moores Middle School at 9am, Caudill Middle School at 10:15am, and Madison Middle School at 1pm. After that, we drive to Buffalo, NY to complete the tour on Sunday at the Beau Fleuve Music & Arts Celebration. #tourlife #chuckiecampbell #rememberthename #buffalohiphop #buffalomusic #buffalorappers #finelytunedtaste #grilledcheese (at Tin Roof)

Excellent night of live music last night at Hero’s in Fort Smith, AR! We covered three hours with the band, made some new friends, passed out door prizes, half shots of bourbon, t-shirts, and hoodies — all made possible by @threechordbourbon ! And we march on! #nationaltour #fortsmith #buffalohiphop #buffalorappers #buffalomusic #chuckiecampbell #threechordbourbon (at Hero’s)

Along with the musical excellence and overall win from last night’s show, upon returning to get some rest, two kids stole one of the vehicles we were using to get from city to city.

They made it four minutes down the road before wrecking it and running away on foot.

It is now un-drivable.

Inside the car was thousands of dollars of musical equipment, including mics, cords, a soundboard, my Macbook PRO, a full PA, etc. In the trunk, I had all my merch and the merch for Three Chord Bourbon. They took none of it. Nothing.

This morning the owner of Renwick Mansion, where we stayed last night, helped me recover the car from the impound. We packed up all the stuff and left the car in the lot for the time being.

The vehicle was loaned to us, not a rental, which complicates things further.

Trying to wrap my head around this one and problem solve.

If you’re willing to help a group of musicians and artists get to our next show, anything you could do would be greatly appreciated:

I want to send a massive shout out to @ribcoofficial , @soultrumusic and @subatlanticmusic for the opportunity to come back to the quad city area and do what we love!

Big thank yous to Dane Moulton and Sarah Moulton for their incredible hospitality—letting us stay at the elegant and beautiful, @renwickmansion .

Last but not least, this was another show in the books. I’m thankful for the ever-supportive musicians and performers traveling with me: TrumpetMan Virella, TwentyEight Z Dre, Michela Davis, and Dave Stewy.

This event was backed by an extraordinary bourbon tasting brought to you by @threechordbourbon 🥃 #threechord #finelytunedtaste #buffalo #buffalorappers #buffalomusicians #nationaltour #buffalohiphop #rockisland #ribco (at Rock Island Brewing Company)

Sending so much love to everyone who came out to CHUCKIE CAMPBELL / SLY ROSS / PHOENIX KING / TFAITHE at Be Here Now in Muncie, IN!

The venue was about a block away from Ball State University, embedded in the heart of this really unique college town. So many great performers touched the stage and moved the crowd. Of course, we gave away some t-shirts, hoodies, specialty drinks, and door prizes.

We don’t have much footage of our performance, but I caught some of the opening acts doing their thing. Another amazing show in the books brought to you in part by @threechordbourbon — finely tuned taste.

Now, it’s off to the next stop in Rock Island, IL at Rock Island Brewing Company, where we’re joining Soultru and Subatlantic on the bill, holding another bourbon tasting, and setting up fort in The Renwick Mansion for the night! (at Be Here Now)
