Adam sits down with Ryan Upchurch for his first official interview, to talk about how he started his music career from zero to 1M followers, being independent, yanking a couple label's chains, fans showing up to his private home, walking around with security, how he parties hard in his area, focusing on his music, all the whilst, chewing tobacco.

Might be one of the smoothest interviews I’ve ever witnessed

[@TravisJGilbert]

As someone whose listened to Ryan Upchurch for about 4 years now. This type of interview was so well deserved for him. It’s definitely impressive from my point of view on what he’s accomplished on his own. I’d love to meet up and write with him one day or even cut one with him whenever he’s up in Michigan. Small towns represent

Pimp C called his music “Country Rap Tunes”. All it is, is being true to who you are. Making music about your life. Your hometown. Your people you grew up with. What you know. It’s simple. Whatever that may be. Some people it’s hood trap music. Others it’s punk. Other people it’s growing up in the south. In the country. It’s not complicated. Shoutout Adam and Church. RIP Pimp C!

There's a few really good artist's in this genre. Crazy I hated it when it came out. It's all in the lyrics and his drive for me. Congrats Upchurch on meeting another goal.
