Upchurch
Biography
Country-rap artist Ryan Upchurch developed Upchurch the Redneck, his self-termed comedic hick-hop alter ego, while goofing around with friends in his native Tennessee. Videos uploaded to YouTube gradually spread his audience far beyond acquaintances. He issued his first single, "Raise Hell and Eat Cornbread," in 2014, and it led to the independent 2015 EP Cheatham County, which reached Billboard's rap and country album charts. A full-length album, Heart of America, followed in January 2016 with elder kindred spirit Bubba Sparxxx as a guest on the track "Keep It Country." Upchurch also capitalized on his growing fan base by starting a line of merchandise, RHEC. Released in December of that year, Bad Mutha Fucker would be his second full-length release of 2016. Upchurch had another busy year in 2017, dropping a straight-up country EP, Summer Love, under his full name in May, followed by a pair of full-lengths, Son of the South and King of Dixie, under the Upchurch moniker. ~ Andy Kellman.
