While most underground rap acts may be dismissed as uncultured, The Camp has proven to be exceptional. Possessing all of the qualities and talent any true artists should hold, this group comes in the simplest of forms. No tricks, no gimmicks…just pure talent and love for making unique music.
The Camp is a Vancouver based up & coming hip-hop group, and labeled by many as the ‘Mixtape Kings.’ Members include Mo Suntzu, Ashes Viccello, Souljah, and X Caliber. All four members also founded and contribute to the extended Camp Army family which include other independent artists like Seattle based P-Lim, New Orleans raised r&b singer B. Diamond, Rasta Mike, and label mates, Shah Supreme, Edge, the Titans, and Indelible.
Their true-to-the-art talent and collective years of experience provide The Camp with a strong foothold in the hip-hop industry. The Camp’s army of guerillas brings a wealth of personal experience and credibility in their craft. Their individual styles and unparalleled skills bring forth a family of artists whose creative element speaks of true gift and passion for music. Every artist in the Camp can be described as unconventional triple threats of producer, artist and entrepreneur. The Camp seizes every opportunity to develop, distill, and nurture their vision of a great Canadian rap act.
Together, The Camp has released many albums, singles, and videos over the last 9 years, but the most impressive accomplishment to date is their “Guerilla Movement” mixtape series, which has taken the Canadian mixtape scene by storm. Over the last 6 years, they have pushed approximately 21,000 units on the streets of a city where artists circulate CDs in the few hundreds, and a number like a few thousand copies is considered an impressive amount reached by few. Their contribution to hip-hop has been highlighted on radio-released singles such as “Big Boys,” “Let You Know” and “Lost Souls,” television programs likeThe Dead Zone and The L Word, and several motion picture movies like the The Art Of War 2 starring Wesley Snipes, Hurricane Hunters, The Lesser Evil, and Honor which starred Romeo Must Die’s Russel Wong. They also had a successful run on the local radio scene broadcasting rap music as their show became one of the most recognized, well-received hip-hop radio shows in Vancouver. But most recently, their creativity was demonstrated in their own line of “The Ice Man” ice cream truck / street team vehicles which could be seen all over the greater Vancouver area either selling ice cream, couriering or promoting their latest ideas.
The Camp is truly one of hip-hop’s quickest rising groups with some of Canada’s finest, certainly deserving of tremendous accolades, rhyming on the hottest, most cutting-edge beats.
