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 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....

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.

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!

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.

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.

Big respect for this. This is exactly why your liked. Don’t ever forget it and I know you won’t. A lot of us grew up like that. Grew up listening to rap. Doesn’t matter who is Better it’s about making sure we never forget our values and remember and be grateful for those that helped us along the way. I’m a union worker and never was gifted in music but I appreciate the drive and the great music

That was cool to hear that story Adam. Kudos for giving Ryan his ‘flowers’ while he’s still with us and in his prime. That is something most folks won’t do because of pride. They don’t want to give credit to anyone but themselves, so props to you both. (As well as to Tom, struggle, & Jelly Roll ). Great group of men for young guys to look up to for work ethic. These days , they need a good role model cuz a lot of them are too soft now.
