#204 Chuck Treece (Musician/Pro Skater)

From one musician / pro skater to another, this week's guest on Life In The Stocks is Chuck Treece. Chuck was the first African American skateboarder to appear on the cover of Thrasher magazine. He's an OG. He's also a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter & musician. And he's collaborated with countless artists over the years, from last week's podcast guest Tommy Guerrero to Schoolly D, The Roots to Billy Joel, and Pearl Jam to the Bad Brains. And he has his own band McRad. We discuss his extensive and varied musical career here. We also talk skateboarding, street culture, hardcore, hip-hop and racism.

also proud to announce that Life In The Stocks has a new sponsor: Radical Clothing UK. Be sure to follow them on Facebook & Instagram (@radicalclothinguk). And check out their website: www.radicalclothinguk.com

The brand aims to fuse a love of music, skateboarding, surfing & snowboarding, and the fashion & lifestyle that comes with these subcultures, with a commitment to raising awareness of mental health & wellbeing. I couldn't be more proud to be the official ambassador for this radical clothing company, and I look forward to working and collaborating on lots of exciting and worthwhile projects with them down the line.
