K Camp On HOT 97

K Camp stopped by HOT 97 to talk to Nessa about his new album Built Different and the personal journey behind it. He opened up about losing both his cousin and his daughter, who died in his arms, and how those moments changed his entire outlook on life. He spoke about heartbreak, the pain of being let down by people he trusted, and how love—romantic or otherwise—can hurt. K Camp also shared his thoughts on “spinning the block,” whether he thinks it’s ever a good idea, and what happened when he tried it himself.
He reflected on feeling overlooked in the music industry, never getting a co-sign when he was coming up, and not being embraced by those who came before him. K Camp also talked about the importance of crediting TikTok creators who support his music, especially when others didn’t show him that same support. He shared how he almost got blackballed early in his career and nearly quit music altogether, until a spiritual conversation helped bring him back. He explained why he feels he’s one of the greatest of his generation, and why he may not be getting the credit he deserves.
