Kristopher Campbell (born April 27, 1990), better known by his stage name K Camp, is an American rapper from Atlanta, Georgia. He is signed with Interscope Records and released his debut EP In Due Time on April 22, 2014. He is best known for "Cut Her Off" and "Comfortable", the former received a nomination at the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards. His debut album Only Way Is Up was released in September 2015 and peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 200 chart.
K Camp was chosen as part of the XXL 2015 Freshman Class and named by Rolling Stone as a "New Artist You Need To Know." He has collaborated with artists that have included 2 Chainz, Snoop Dogg, T.I., and Jeremih.
K Camp 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 Andre 3000, Tupac Shakur, and The Notorious B.I.G..
K Camp began performing in high school, performing as part of a group called HBC (Head Busser Clique). After the group broke up, K Camp 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 K Camp 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. K Camp 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.
