Cam Meekins

Developing up both a pop (Dave Matthews Group, Sublime) and hip-hop buff (Jay-Z, Kanye West), Boston-based rapper Cam Meekins was perfectly placed to check out in the footsteps of genre-blending rappers wants Asher Roth and Macintosh Miller, but he wasn’t necessarily inspired by either. At age 15, a travelling Meekins was involved with a jet-ski incident that required weeks of recovery, a period that your aspiring musician utilized to strategy his debut. Partnering with maker Matty Trump, Meekins decreased his 1993 mixtape in 2011, while 2012 noticed him release Encounters, a mixtape that resolved any comparisons to the present crop of “frat” rappers. The Atlantic imprint Large Records decided that Cam was exclusive and authorized the rapper that same 12 months. In 2013 he produced his debut for the label using the album Lamp Town.
