Chucky D

Chucky D, originally known as Charlie Daniels is a famous and troubled Crashian rapper whose fame only came after his murder and whose success guaranteed fame to the rappers he had surrounded himself with such as 'Sloppy Moses'

## Charlie's Early Life

Charlie Daniels was born February 16th 1987, Cod, Crash to Fiona Flemmings and Gary Daniels. Charlie was the youngest of three boys, the eldest being Ron (12) and then Karl (9) Daniels. Charlie was brought up near the country-side which gave him a heavy jealousy for people living in big cities and shaped the place he wanted to go in his future. At age 5 (1992) Charlie's mother, Fiona died of a epileptic seizure that was relatively suprising. As a result of Charlie's mother's death he lacked a motherly influence in his life which many say influenced his mental health and the way he was raised. Fiona's death also made Gary Daniels, Charlie's father, far more cynical and far more cold, another reason for why Charlie may have resented his family and his home so much. Due to a drastic age difference of 12 and 9 years from his brothers, when thier mothers died, and 5-year-old Charlie continued being a child (as one does), his brothers and his father percieved him as more of a burden than a person, as Charlie was incapable of understanding loss fully and didn't share the same remourse for his mother that they did, this built a giant wall between him and his family.

Charlie quickly became quite resentful of his family as he felt that he didn't understand them as they were so much older than him. Charlie quickly turned to the most readily available form of entertainment and escapism, films and music. Charlie described that he mainly idolised David S. Pimpkins and the likes of him, as they shaped the rap genre and made it what it is. At that stage in time, rap was not very popular in Crash, so the fans, were very devoted, as a result Charlie quickly became entangled in a group of friends who also appreciated rap, Moses Hammer being among them (the rapper now known as 'Sloppy Moses'). The friend group Charlie was involved in encouraged a lack of interest in education and more of an interest in street smarts rather than general education smarts, as a result Charlie did poorly in school.

## Chucky D's Life

Charlie's friend group also encouraged 'street names' and hense, 'Chucky D' was born. Not long after Charlie had nick-named himself 'Chucky D', he failed to pass through his secondary school. His father refused to pay for his exams to be retaken, so as a result Chucky was left with no qualifications and therefore no future. One of Chucky D's friends, known as 'Big Mick' reccomended drug dealing as an occupation for Chucky, to which he agreed selling small ammounts of drugs with the help of his friends Big Mick, 'Steady Eddy' and 'Wicky-Micky Wat'. Eventually Wicky-Micky Wat was arrested for drug-dealing and Chucky D was asked to fill his place. Chucky D became a frequent dealer and often had to travel into the inner-city, through one of his deals Chucky D met Jeremy Jams from Jammers Records and convinced him to get him and Sloppy Moses auditions.

Chucky D was signed with Jammers records in 2006 however it was to appauling reviews. However, Chucky did gain a small cult following which gained Jammers Records a small revenue, Sloppy Moses also was performing well and was Jammers Records only hit so they had a sense of loyality to Chucky and was more inclined to keep him on. Chucky D made a series of under recieved raps such as 'Chucky D in the House' and 'Credit Big Mack'.

## Tradegy of Chucky D

In 2009, Big Mack was murdered by a rival gang trying to sell dope in the same area. At that point Chucky's father, Gary realised that Chucky was most likely dealing drugs and raided his sons room finding large quantities, after finding some, he called the police on Chucky. Chucky was forced to run away from home and stay with his friend 'Steady Eddy' who at this point was still grieving the loss of his friend / roomate, Big Mack. Chucky then effectively moved in with Eddy managing to dodge the police as they weren't exactly on high alert.

When Chucky D made a song called 'Motherless' in 2011, his brother, Ron located him and beat him sensless claiming the song was distastful. Ron was arrested and Chucky pressed charges, until his farther visted Chucky and berated him on his life decision and claimed that he would tell the police that he was addicted to drugs. Chucky dropped the charges.

In 2013 Chucky frantically phoned his father claiming that he had 'knocked up', 25 year old, Julie Pulters. At that point Gary had had enough and phoned the authorities telling them that he believed his son was a drug dealer and that his son would most likely resist arrest, resulting in a 'shoot-out'. The police then raided Steady Eddy's apartment and arrested Chucky for resisting arrest the previous time they attempted to arrest him. Eventually they gained enough evidence to realise he was a drug dealer, including a burner-phone. A seriously long sentence was dangled over Chucky D's head at which point he caved and gave them all the information that they wanted. Later that month, whilst at a monument alongside fellow rapper 'Lil Nips' him and the 20 year Lil Nips were murdered by who has since been identified as Fred Hamlin (Lil Nips managed to survive). The reason for Chucky D's murder is unclear but many wager it's due to the information that he gave to the police, all though theres no way of proving that.

## Music Legacy

Strangley enough, it was only after his death announcment that he started to gain traction, becoming the most listened to rap-artist of all time (beaten by Fresh Grass in 2020). Chucky D's death broadcast encouraged the whole of Crash to listen to his music and his cult following expanded by millions then billions. A concert was organised and held in his honour, with main act 'Sloppy Moses', that also had massive runner-ups; 'Big Chris', 'Essentially Simon', 'Sno' Cone', 'Skiffle', 'Lil Nitwit' and 'Marci Jamz'. The Chucky D Memorial Concert was huge and was a main reason that 'Big Money Crew' was formed. Chucky D's influence on the Crashian rap game was influencial, even if he never got to see it (All the rights to his music were donated to Sloppy Moses)
