About K Camp
Kristopher Thomas Campbell , known professionally as K Camp is an American rapper. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, he first garnered attention following the release of his 2013 single "Money Baby", which led him to sign with Interscope Records. Released in December of that year, his single "Cut Her Off" became his first and highest-charting entry—at number 49—on the Billboard Hot 100. Both songs received platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America and preceded the release of his debut extended play , In Due Time .
Campbell's debut studio album, Only Way Is Up peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 200 and was supported by the double platinum-certified single, "Comfortable." His 2019 single, "Lottery " marked a brief period of commercial resurgence for its usage on the video service TikTok. Following its long-sustained popularity on the platform, he signed with the TikTok-subsidiary company SoundOn in 2023.
Campbell founded the record label, Rare Sound in 2018. He was selected as part of the XXL 2015 Freshman Class, and named by Rolling Stone as a "New Artist You Need To Know" that same year. He has also received nominations for a BET Hip Hop Award and an iHeartRadio Music Award.
Campbell was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin but grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. His family introduced him to music at an early age and he has attributed some of his biggest influences as André 3000, Tupac Shakur, and The Notorious B.I.G. He attended Osborne High School.
Campbell began performing in high school, performing as part of a group called HBC . After the group broke up, Campbell continued with music, performing at open mic contests which were also frequented by artists such as Waka Flocka Flame. He released a mix named "All Night" in 2009. It gained popularity in the Atlanta music scene and its popularity inspired Campbell to start taking music seriously. He followed up with other mixes that included "Fan4Life" and "Show Money," and "Slumlords." These mixes began a movement in Atlanta with his "slums," a term coined to represent his family, friends, and fans. Campbell increased his notoriety in the independent Atlanta rap scene after appearing as a guest feature on Kirby Tha Hottest’s “Shawty Go”. Campbell wanted to extend his career beyond the Atlanta music scene and landed a deal with Interscope Records where he released his debut EP in 2014.
In April 2014, K Camp released his debut EP In Due Time, a remake of one of his original mixtapes. Its debut single "Cut Her Off", featuring fellow Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz, peaked at number 49 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was also nominated for Best Club Banger at the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards. The song featured vocals by 2 Chainz and in addition to Billboard, the song went number 1 on USA Today's Urban Airplay chart. It was also remixed by artists that include Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, T.I., and YG. In 2014, five of his tracks topped the Billboard Twitter Real-Time survey, which was more than any other artist for that year. K Camp was also recognized by Rolling Stone as a "New Artist You Need To Know."
