What's happening, man. It's me, K Camp, A.K.A.
Wait, A.K.A. K Slum,
and I just blew a bag.
You might know me from Money Baby, Cut Her Off,
Comfortable, Blessing, Slum Anthem,
Kids 2, Kids 3, Kids 4, Slum Lord 2, Red
Sound, the real hit maker man, the goat is in the building.
My last job, you know what I'm saying, it had to be
Red Lobster. At Red Lobster, I was a host,
greeting customers when they come in,
putting them in tables, you know what I'm saying.
I used to sneak biscuits under the little thing,
and just eat biscuits all day. I was only there for two weeks.
I had, it's crazy, cause when I quit
I was at West Georgia,
I was kicking it with some chicks,
you know what I'm saying, and I forgot I had to work.
And I told this little chick I was with, I was like,
"Hey, call me job, act like my momma, and tell them
I can't make it to work today."
So, my dumb ass, the manager knew my momma,
so when shorty called he was like
"This ain't Shawna."
So, he called me up and all that,
so at that point it was over with.
I think he called my momma too, like I guess I was tripping.
When I decided to buckle down, one hundred percent,
I think when I dropped out of college.
Somebody stole my books, I ain't have no other option.
It was either hit the trap with my partners
that was selling or take the music serious
and I just took the music serious.
Back then I thought I had a little flavor,
so I was like "Why not?"
Let's give it a shot, cause I'd been doing it for so long,
so I was like "Why not."
I was out of college, I ain't have nothing else to do
I was jugging the CD's on the campus.
My first deal was with Nitty. I was with Playmaker,
this was back in '08 I had a record called All Night.
I was really heavy in the college markets,
I was real heavy just in Atlanta,
and I got signed to Nitty in '08.
And that didn't work out,
and then I went back to my grind,
that's when Do It came out, 2012.
And I had signed to a management company
in a little production deal, and I recently got out of that.
If you follow me, if you know what's going on with me,
I was stuck in a situation that I couldn't stand,
and just probably about a couple months ago
I finally got out that situation.
So, we ain't gonna go back that way, we off the past,
we ain't dealing with that no more,
but after that I signed to Interscope, 2014,
when I dropped Cut Her Off.
And I'm still with Interscope right now,
and I got my own label Real Sound.
True Story G signed to me, Bobby
Critical signed to me, you know, we're just moving right now.
We just on they (beep) for real.
First time I got a big check performance,
probably it had to be a university.
As any artist, you see big,
you think that shit gonna last forever,
you're gonna keep spending, you're gonna buy what you want,
you're gonna just go up until you run out of music.
But, them chicks loved it.
Shout out to all the universities
that ever paid me, and we rocked the show like always.
I used to go to the country.
They used to pay me in Ciroc and Grey Goose.
The most I ever got at my first show, like $500
and probably some Grey Goose
and I was taking it all, drinking it all, taking it all.
And then probably taking that check
and going to Chik-Fil-A
and buying some Nikes or something.
Checks were done with.
I want to put it in a [inaudible 00:03:13]
when I first just bought a whole bunch of jewelry.
I bought Rolexes, rings,
just had to get the rapper start up kit.
I just had to cash out on some jewels
and I think it was like 80.
I had bought a Tahoe when we was rolling,
when I dropped End of Time.
We just hitting the check and started to Alabama to...
we was deep. We be deep in the Tahoe.
Yeah, I think [inaudible 00:03:37]
taken up a lot of space. I thought we should just expand.
That's when I bought the Sprinter.
I bought the Sprinter probably because of that.
A whole set of teeth.
I just lost my bottoms last night speaking on it.
I bought them and I was like, "Man, I don't need this (beep)."
I bought a whole diamonds, just my mouth.
Paid like eight, nine for it.
I'm just like, "Why the (beep) did I just buy that shit."
You know what I'm saying?
Then, there's been a lot of designer shoes.
I bought some Valentino's. I thought it was hard for like
[inaudible 00:04:04], (beep) ugly as hell,
(beep) like that. It's a lot of (beep) clothes
I done bought that look good at first
then you're, this (beep) ain't it.
I'd have had jewelry I had bought that I was like, nah.
I then bought my girlfriend some nice (beep) here and there.
But as far as a trick, all my females
I ever dealt with they can tell you
right now they're not getting (beep).
I done bought shoes. I bought a little jewelry
but that's little (beep). I can say I bought...
Well I did buy one of my exes a whip.
I helped her get a whip but...
I can say if I spend 40 or 50 or 60,000, 70.
Bought you a Bergen, bought you a...
just really like got in there
and if we broke up I'd be pissed.
But I ain't no trick. And ladies love me,
great charisma, great energy. They love my vibe.
They always want to be around me.
And they know I ain't trick.
It's a big responsibility when you got money.
Everybody wants some (beep).
Everybody expects you to do a lot of (beep) for them.
If you're a real boss and a real CEO you know
how to handle it the right way where you can just
[inaudible 00:05:06] into all the bull (beep).
Losing money and just be out here looking crazy.
And folks who don't know you think you got more money
than what you even have. They put you on this pedestal.
I ain't never really had no beef over no money.
I did favors for partners and homeboys.
I got my partner out of jail. It cost a pretty penny
and I never asked for it back because that's my dog.
I just got the love. As far as giving folks,
I don't give money out like that.
I don't just be... I ain't that type of (beep)
where I'm going, "Hey, yeah I hope you give it back."
Nah, you ain't getting (beep) Jack, you feel me?
Unless it's benefiting,
unless I know you're about to use it in the right way,
I don't mind just helping you out.
But I ain't really got no stories
where I give the nigger bread, like here take it.
Yeah, catch me on the back end.
No. I'm not about to just give out bread.
That's just not one of my things man.
I ain't going to lie to you.
A lot of folks be moving like that.
I fell out with my dad like that because he really wasn't in.
He asked me for money
and I kind of like oh, nah, that ain't it.
But we building our relationship back.
The smartest thing I ever did was not blow my check.
I save my (beep).
I put myself in my own tour for $150,000 out of my own pocket.
Put myself on tour. I invest everything into my career.
That's the reason why I'm still here
and still able to move how I move.
All the money I make I put back into myself
and I put back into my company.
That's what real smart businessmen do.
You blow the bag you're over with.
If I would have blew my check when I first got it,
y'all wouldn't be doing this interview right now.
And that's the bottom line.
If I would have blew my (beep) there would be no K Camp.
I saved my (beep) and made a show.
I kept a little safe pot just in case the rainy days.
Shout out to my mom too.
What can you expect from the gang?
Rare Sound is the label by the way.
You can expect True Story Gee, my artist True Story Gee.
You can expect DJ Genius, Bobby Kritical.
We got projects coming up. I got Wayy 2
Kritical dropping at the end of the month.
I don't know when it's going to drop.
It's probably going to be out, we about to fuck the streets up.
We about to kill the culture with that.
Signed a new deal with Interscope.
I got a new studio I'm building out in Atlanta.
That's another big purse.
It's like $100,000 down on a new studio in Atlanta.
And I just finished the Switch Tour.
I did a 30 city run, headlining my own tour.
Killed that (beep). I'm going to go on another tour.
We just working, man. I came back from the grave.
These folks try to bury K Camp but you can't bury K Camp.
I am the chosen one and we're going to prove it.
And we're going to show the world.
Can't Get Enough is on radio right now.
Impact and shout out to Empire.
I got over 1,000 songs ready in the clip.
I love it man, it's a beautiful thing.
Shout out to God too.
Hey man, it's me K Camp and I blew bag.
Shout out to the gang.
