Chuckie Campbell

Most people aren’t aware that the Tops on Jefferson was located in a “food desert” in the city of Buffalo. One way to help is by knowing our resources and coming together to help our communities get the bare essentials. I hope this helps someone out there get what they need to feed themselves or their families at this trying and difficult time. My heart goes out to the victims and all people who were directly or indirectly impacted. For the sake of all of us, we have to, in a united front, stand against white supremacy and stand with our black and brown brothers and sisters. An attack on them — and make no mistake, that is what it was — is an attack against all of us. #fooddesert #jefferson #buffalony #resources #endwhitesupremacy #endwhitesilence #cometogether (at Buffalo, New York)

I’ve been in a pretty dark place the last few days after this shooting, filled with hurt and anger and confusion. All I’ve known to do is offer resources and try to be helpful as possible instead of telling the music culture and community I’m closest to how to feel about such a tragic situation. My music peers are impacted but also my students. Over the last few days, I’ve had some hard discussions in the classroom. I’m sure I’ll find some words soon but until I find the right ones, I just want to be as helpful as possible. #buffalony #heartsandhands #livewellerie #jefferson #endwhitesupremacy #loveeachother #cometogether (at Buffalo, New York)

This was the crew we brought with us to NYC to play at @mercuryloungeny — very proud of this talent collective of individuals: @iamisaiah20 on drums, Mike Slomowicz on guitar; @thedrumkey on keys, Emilio Virellla on trumpet; @therealiesha and @imdavestewy on soul/rnb vocals, and myself and @maddukez on rap vocals. Big shout to @olisflophouse for making it happen and taking this picture! We’ll be back soon; we are building something special and we want you all to be a part of it! Last, I want to send a big thank you to @threechordbourbon for sponsoring the Boom Bap and Bourbon tour as we traveled the country and did what we love.

So, St. Louis was dope last night! Big shouts to Rec Riddles, Bates, and Repatalleon U IStudios for sharing the stage. Dave Stewy, as always, rocked the crowd. I’ve posted some videos, here.

Big thank you to Nicholas Capo Petty, who always assists in making these events come together. Some familiar faces were in the building: Daemon Murray came through and stayed for every performer, and Buffalo’s own, Joseph Maxwell, stopped through with his lady to enjoy the music.

Yesterday was one of the longest days of setting up, performing, breaking down I’ve ever had on a tour, but it was well worth it in the love, respect, and appreciation we received.

I want to thank Madison Middle School, Madison Central High School, and Eastern Kentucky University for having us. Each performance was unique in presentation and valuable in ways beyond music. I feel that each unique experience, too, was nuanced in the power of hip hop as a culture to act as a transcendent force in the lives of young people. I want to extend my appreciation to all the faculty and staff who made these performances possible, but especially to Amber Land Snell, Susan Cintra, and Jon Gore. You all are the real MVPs.

I also want to thank Mandy Owens for coming out to our show in the Ravine at EKU. That was our last performances of the day and we were all tired but it was nice to see a familiar face among the college students who were laying in hammocks and sitting on beach towels enjoying us perform.

Today, we are on our way to St. Louis, MO for Chuckie Campbell with Live Band at Kranzberg Art Studio with Bates and Rec Riddles, but before we go, I’ll try to share what limited pictures and videos I have from these beautiful events yesterday. I might have to upload some of these as the day progresses or even tomorrow, but that’s okay — these experiences are more than videos and pictures; more accurately, they are memories I’ll carry with me forever. #kentuckyhiphop #madisonmiddle #madisoncentral #easternkebtuckyuniversity #buffalohiphop #buffalorappers #buffalomusicscene #buffalomusicians #tour #boombap #bourbon (at Richmond, Kentucky)

Now, it’s time to give up the ghost! Last night was truly amazing on so many levels. I want to thank everyone who touched the stage last night and everyone who gave up their Saturday night to spend it with us: Dave Stewy, Ian Gabriel, Ziere Rodolph, and DaTrumpetman Virella!

It was truly remarkable coming back to Richmond, KY and seeing how we were embraced. I want to shout out a couple of people: Susan Cintra, who is running for Senate; Paul Reed Jr, who has been a life-long friend of mine; Bob Wason, who I’ve known probably since I was in sixth grade; John Q Campbell, my brother and one of my best friends and most formidable role models growing up; Martina Jackson, of which who is doing God’s work in RKY and changing some of the parts of the community that have sorely needed change for so long; Mark Feather, who has welcomed us into his home and been so incredible through all these years (your friendship extends beyond words); and so many more names! Oh, and Colbert Gautreaux, I appreciate you, sir! I can’t leave you out!

I’ll throw in a shout for the love of life, Chantal Michaux, also, who supports me and my dreams even they require great sacrifice. And while providing support and taking care of everything and everyone back home, she takes the time to book hotel rooms and talk me through my frustrations and anxieties as they arise. I love you so much and will be home soon.

Tonight we are in Lexington, KY for The Boom Bap & Bourbon Tour: Lexington at Horse and Jockey! If you missed Paddy Wagon, here’s your chance to make it right.
