Currently in his freshman year at Brown University, CDR is splitting his time writing rhymes and playing D1 football. Chuck Da Ruckus has been working hard over the past year, constantly writing, collaborating and exploring different sounds. His debut video for "Real Life" has some nice visuals, but more importantly the track was produced by Matty Trump, a name you might recognize from his work with Sammy Adams. Keep an eye for Chuck's debut EP, which he plans on dropping early 2013. For now, enjoy his video for "Real Life" and download it below.
