LISTEN TO THE MIXTAPE YOURS TRULY BY CAMO
Yours Truly marks a bold new chapter in CAMO’s career, showcasing her versatility as she moves beyond her trap-heavy roots to explore genres like pop, drum & bass, and electronic. The mixtape’s focus track, “K-PACK”, is a powerful anthem where she delivers sharp lyrics and a bold attitude. The pre-released track “Only You,” featuring Leellamarz offers a playful twist on the classic JYP anthem by legendary K-Pop heartthrob RAIN. This light-hearted, bouncy love ballad showcases her lush melodies and pocket-hitting rap flow. The mixtape also explores more laid-back, emotional-toned tracks like “Waterfalls”, “Wings” and “You Know” embracing acoustic elements and emotional depth. In contrast, fiery verses and hard-hitting beats dominate songs like “Round & Round”, “Don’t Text Me,” “Wish” and “Butterflies.” The project features an impressive list of collaborators, with major names in Korean hip-hop like BIG NAUGHTY, pH-1, GIRIBOY and CHANGMO.
To accompany the mixtape, CAMO also unveiled a music video for “K-PACK.” The video features South Korean model and comedian, Hong Jin-kyung, known for her role as a host on the hit reality dating show Singles’ Inferno, making a special appearance in the music video with her THE KIMCHI brand. Set in a kimchi factory, the two engage in what appears to be a secretive exchange of spices.
After CAMO showcased her undeniable talent in the breakout hit “Life is Wet” featuring H1GHR Music’s JMIN, fans knew she was on the rise. Garnering nearly 25 million views, the track brought her into the spotlight, with collaborations like “Wifey” alongside Korean rap icon Simon Dominic, further solidifying her status as one of the rising stars in South Korea’s hip-hop scene. With her debut album, Pressure Makes Diamonds, which amassed over 40 million streams worldwide, she brought her signature charisma and fearless energy to this new release. CAMO’s latest release – Yours Truly – showcases significant growth as an artist, moving away from her signature trap-heavy mold and into new sonic territories, evolving her rap-sung flow into a pop-leaning tour de force.
