Cam Meekins is a (somewhat underground) nineteen year old rapper from Newton, Massachusetts. Cam has recently "Graduated From Frat Rap" says the Boston Globe. In an interview with them, Cam says that he started rapping about four years ago, when he was fifteen. He says that he would get funny looks on stage, being a white rapper, and being a young, skinny kid. However, after they heard him rap, their thoughts about him changed. Cam also said that when he was first getting into rap, he wanted to be like Drake, or Kanye West and was highly influenced by them. However, Cam's music is a little bit more mellow than most Drake or Kanye songs. I, personally, like Cam's music much more, the mellow rap is easier to listen to and tells a better story. I think it's really cool hearing about his life through his music, and telling it in an easy to listen to way.

Cam first started releasing his music to Youtube and Spotify, though most were just mix tapes or singles (Cut Me Off is a single). However, in 2013 he dropped his first album called Lamp City. Lamp City has many good songs, including some of my favorites, some from this album will most likely make appearances in future songs of the week...
