Chuck is happy to present his first album 24. Below are the stories behind the Chuck and the songs of 24.Story of Chuck: Part IIt's quite a simple story, really. Some of you know me as Charles, C.J., Chaz, Chucky, J-Ball, J-Town, J, Chewy, Se Jota, Chucky-Baby, C-Jizzle, C, Hollywood, Ferrar, The Reverend, Chuck-D, Chucks and Stud Muffin (okay, I made up the last one.
