Charles Edward "Chuckie" Campbell (born January 23, 1981) is an American musician, writer, poet, editor, publisher, and educator.[citation needed] His hip-hop work has won him two All WNY Music Awards (2014)[1] and two Best of Buffalo Best Hip Hop Act awards from Artvoice (2016).[citation needed] He tours under Deep Thinka Records out of Buffalo, New York.[2] As of 2019, Campbell has also taught English and Communications at Bryant & Stratton College for eight years.[3]

Early life and education

[edit]

Chuckie Campbell was raised in Richmond, Kentucky, attending Madison Central High School.[4] His time on the basketball team earned him a college scholarship to Lee University, where he played four years of college basketball. Campbell graduated in 2003 with his B.A. in communications and a minor in religious studies.[citation needed] In 2004, Campbell began working toward an M.A. in English and Creative Writing at Eastern Kentucky University.[5] He graduated in 2007 and started on his PhD the following year at University of Southern Mississippi. Among his professors were Frederick and Steven Barthelme.[6]

Career

[edit]

Esente Center Stage selected Campbell as their emerging artist of the week in 2011.[7] In early 2013, his song, "The Streets," produced by Marc Jones, garnered 95,058 amps, listens and shares in the Grammy's Amplifier Contest, the most in any genre category.[8] The song was later disqualified from the contest for improper interpolations.[citation needed] He released his first full-length album, More Die of Heartbreak, later that year. It was produced by Willie Breeding[9] and featured guest appearances from Cappadonna, Solomon Childs[10] and Block McCloud, among others. The album art and a lyric booklet DVD case insert were illustrated by Kerby Rosanes.[citation needed] It garnered positive reviews from Under the Gun, AbsolutePunk, The Huffington Post, and BK United.[11][12][9][13]

In September 2014, Campbell won two All WNY Music Awards, one for Best New Artist (all genres) and the other for Best Rapper/Hip Hop Performer. In December 2014, Campbell signed a booking deal with Deep Thinka Records out of Buffalo, New York. In 2016, Campbell won Best of Buffalo Awards for Best Hip Hop Artist and Best Original Music.[citation needed] His second album, Taking Back Tomorrow, was released in 2018 and features Ras Kass, Talib Kweli, Quadir Lateef, Heidi Feek, Nicole Atkins, Iesha Green, and Mad Dukez, among others.[citation needed] It garnered positive reviews from Ellenwood-EP, Most Addictive Music, The Word is Bond, and Empty Lighthouse Magazine.[14][15][16][17] Layla Klamt of Guardian Liberty Voice praised Campbell for "tell[ing] the story of the new hip hop, which has room for all races, creeds, and even genres of music" and for "fus[ing] classical music, country and pop."[18]

Campbell founded the short-lived literary magazine Sunsets and Silencers.[19][20] He moved to Buffalo in 2011 to teach English and Communication courses at Bryant & Stratton College.[3][21] In 2015, he gave a TEDx Youth Buffalo talk titled "Bond or Barrier: Language and Social Identity,"[22] which addressed language and its ability to frame social realities.[citation needed] In 2017, he started the Taking Back Tomorrow Scholarship, awarding a $1,500 annual scholarship to one Madison Central High School student, a college-bound high school senior, based on the demonstrated ability to overcome a life obstacle in pursuit of their higher education.[citation needed]

Personal life

[edit]

In the summer of 2004, Campbell was assaulted by his friend and music mentor Ralph B. Prater,[23] requiring him to have facial reconstruction surgery. He did not make or perform music again for almost 7 years after the incident.[23] More Die of Heartbreak is dedicated to Prater, who died by suicide in March 2011.[citation needed]
