Career

[edit]

In the early 2000s, Cameron began his career at DJ Ill Will's record label, Tha Alumni Music Group. Working closely with American rapper and labelmate Kid Ink, Cameron produced his single "I Just Want It All" from Kid Ink's Daydreamer mixtape in late 2011, followed by Kid Ink's single, "Time of Your Life" in 2012." Cameron also produced "Walk In The Club" and "Hell & Back" on Kid Ink's debut studii album Up & Away.[2][3] He then joined Tha Alumni Music Group in February, 2012.

After co-producing DJ Felli Fel's 2013 single "Reason To Hate" featuring Ne-Yo, Tyga, and Wiz Khalifa, Cameron produced "Money and the Power" and "Sunset" on Kid Ink’s major label debut, Almost Home. Cameron is responsible for "More Than A King" from Kid Ink’s second studio album, My Own Lane. For other artists, Cameron produced "Story of the Stairs" for Machine Gun Kelly, as well as Wiz Khalifa's 2014 song "Hope".

Cameron did not resurface until December 2023, when he signed a publishing deal with Ashley Gorley and Warner Chappell.
