Ryan Upchurch has been working magic from the moment he stepped on the scene. His new album is sure to be full of the same greatness. With the album release inching closer, Ryan released some of that magic with a video for the title track, "Mud to Gold".
Everyone saw Ryan share some 'behind the scenes' video via Social Media. It was nice to see the finished product placed with the amazing song. It was a real cool concept for a video.
The video looked back on previous music videos, and showed his growth from then to now. He worked his ass off to make creek mud in pure music gold. Creekers everywhere will agree.
You can scope out the video and the lyrics down below. Let us know what you think in the comments.

Mud to Gold
By Ryan Upchurch
Like mud to gold
mines in this soil
and I bring that soul
and I will never get old
I'm turning mud into gold
Like mud to gold
mines in this soil
and I bring that soul
and I will never get old
I'm turning mud into gold
Dripping in this swamp water
with the snakes, I'm not bothered
I done been backstabbed
in the front back and in the head but
It's good partner and I ain't no beginner
ain't nobody's paid for dinner
I ain't perfect I'm a sinner
underground so warn the devil
all I am is a hellion raising hell
rocking medallions
in 90s model cars standard
holding some hellacious engines
and all this ain't no pretending
my vengeance comes with no mentions
I'm sicker than dirty covid syringes
stuck in you bitches
Yeah you think I'm the cure
and then you all die
I'm asleep in my bed
still blinking one eye
still thinking of lines
to cast in the pines
for ones like me who
lives the same life
just country motherfuckers
in a town with a time way behind
but we still make it shine in the light
Like mud to gold
mines in this soil
and I bring that soul
and I will never get old
I'm turning mud into gold
Like mud to gold
mines in this soil
and I bring that soul
and I will never get old
I'm turning mud into gold
These millionaires don't understand
these label owners don't fuckin get it
If I sign to slavery Ill be shelved up
and dust collected for fucking ages
cuz you can't see no vision
your mind is not connected
you've been blinded by Ferraris
parties and coke base ass records
Everything is yeah yeah yeah
Everything is hit em wit it
Stars are made from walking in the trenches
And it seems like y'all forgettin'
Raps about to fucking come up
Where the fuck your asses come from
What you had to conquer
transferred over into a bunch of small words
for a big impact on people
cuz that's your position as leader
Yeah I'm white and country
spit tobacco like a gunslinger
yeah I put you through the wringer
don't ever shit talk my people
or preacher will shoot and not
think twice about the bullets neither
Like mud to gold
mines in this soil
and I bring that soul
and I will never get old
I'm turning mud into gold
Like mud to gold
mines in this soil
and I bring that soul
and I will never get old
I'm turning mud into gold
