Teaming up with the Carolina Underground Circuit, hailing from Charleston, SC DJ Chuck T is one of the South's top DJs. Born David Thrower, Chuck T entered into the DJing game after a successful but stressful rap career. Losing his passion for rapping, but not his passion for music, Chuck T felt that through his knowledge of the music industry he could help aspiring rappers get the exposure they needed by dropping mix tapes. He also learned from his experience as a rapper that most radio stations won't play music from underground artists due to radio station "politricks" so he infiltrated a well known Charleston radio station in hopes of changing the cruel and unusual treatment that underground artists were receiving. His first mix tape release, entitled Ghetto Gangstas Vol. 1, was released in March 2001 and quickly flew off the shelves of music stores across the southeastern region of the United States. Ghetto Gangsters Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 followed and also were major hits through out the southeast. DJ Chuck T not only gave his listeners the music they wanted from major artist, but also included many underground artists who were on the rise. Chuck T also used his weekend radio show to break new records from national artists and slide in a few records from underground artists as well. With his name ringing bells all over the southeast and both major and underground record labels calling for Chuck T's assistance with various projects, many local DJs saw their stocks fall and chose to hate on Chuck T rather than step their game up. In early 2002 Chuck T left the radio station and has been blackballed in Charleston radio ever since. "This radio game in my city is fucked up." quotes Chuck T, "But I won’t let it kill my love for radio or broadcasting." "There are 3 urban stations in my city and none of them are innovative. The ratings will never change and are always gonna be the same unless someone takes a chance and plays the music the people actually want to hear and break new records also." But the streets embraced their King and not only did Chuck T’s mix tapes become a hotter commodity, but he copped some turntables and began spinnin’ at some of the biggest events in the Carolina’s. In the last year DJ Chuck T has had many lucrative job offers for executive positions at record labels, radio stations, and music store chains but has chosen to stay independent and unaffiliated with one particular company or clique. Chuck T would rather devote his time to helping underground artists and keep new music circulating in the streets. In 2003 DJ Chuck T dropped a total of 55 mix tapes and is responsible for helping 6 underground artists and their record labels sign major distribution deals. Right now Chuck T is hard at work on his record label and management company, Port City Productions, and his southeastern music and video distribution company. By the end of 2004 DJ Chuck T and Port City Productions will definitely be a Super Power in the music industry.
