So what does it really mean? Let's go to the man himself. What does “RHEC” mean?

RHEC: abbreviation for “Raise Hell & Eat Cornbread".

Meaning: it means as we go through life life brings numerous obstacles, causing us as people to get “dings & dents” as a car would, but no matter how many dings and dents you as a human may acquire over time, if that engine is still running & you still got gas in the tank, we should still go for those miles to be driven until the destination (goal) is reached or the engine blows up.. it’s okay to get “RHEC’d” as long as we’re still able to keep pushing with our “dings & dents” 🤘🏼💯 -Upchurch-

After it was posted what he had done. Ryan noticed some people were attacking the homeless man's character saying things like he is nothing but a junkie drug addict. Some said he should have bought him a house if he is homeless. After Upchurch had seen all this, He fired back to all those very negative people. He even asked the question. "Do you think attacking and talking hateful about him is going to help him get off drugs?" No...It's gonna make him want to do more drugs! Cause he feels so bad about himself.

This is the kinda memories I’m making with music, last night I sat in the dark about 10ft away from a lot of people and they had no idea I was there. Just watching what they was talking about, what they was doing with there buddies, watching all the youngins have a good time, then I crawled under a semi truck that was side stage and got stoned to the bone and watch Aaron Lewis sing his songs.. these are the times I won’t forget and will always cherish. And I hope y’all get the same out of my music when you show up to a show 🙏🏼🇺🇸🌾 now it’s time for my ass to get ready for the stage tonight. Love y’all 🤘🏼 #GodBlessAmerica

That showed true camaraderie among him and other artists.
