Sosocamo

Sosocamo is a North Carolina–born rapper whose blend of Southern rap and self-engineered production first gained traction in underground circles through a series of early SoundCloud uploads created throughout his teenage years. After introducing himself with his debut EP SCREENS in 2023, sosocamo released his debut album No Service in 2024, a 13-track hyper- regional exploration of North Carolina rap, released off the back of back-to-back hit singles in "keep steady" (82M+ streams) and "soulless" (43M+ streams). Recording primarily in his parents' basement shortly after signing his first distribution deal with Broke Records, sosocamo began expanding his audience through consistent single releases, one-night-only performances, and viral moments that led to connections with 76ers guard Jared McCain and streamers Rakai, Jynxzi, and Ray. No Service established the foundation of a world built around rural isolation, emotional range, and understated vocal experimentation, leading to his first 7-stop nationwide headlining tour and back-to-back one-night-only shows in New York City and Los Angeles. With his forthcoming project Big Country due out in 2026, sosocamo has positioned himself for the next stage of his career. Lead singles "200" (November 2025) and "Say Dat" (December 2025) have set the tone for the album, with "200" earning a Justin Bieber co-sign when the pop star opened a livestream dancing to the track at his SKYLRK pop-up in Tokyo. Poised between the cult movement of No Service and the promise of Big Country, sosocamo enters this next chapter with momentum defined by expanded production partnerships, a broadened sonic appetite, and a stacked touring schedule—venturing on his own worldwide tour in Spring 2026, performing at Rolling Loud Orlando in May, and Summerfest in June. Raised in rural North Carolina with limited cell service and few neighbors, sosocamo grew up in a musically active household shaped by gospel, church choir involvement, and the Southern rap his parents played around the house. Early exposure to Future, Young Thug, Kendrick Lamar, and pop artists such as Justin Bieber informed the foundation of his melodic sensibilities, while witnessing his father's passion for music and media introduced him to home recording and production. Sosocamo began making music around age 14, initially leaning toward singing before incorporating rap elements into his earliest tracks. By high school, he was recording himself, engineering for friends, and developing a catalog of hundreds of drafts. At 19, he met his executive producer Grayto, who later became his girlfriend and helped introduce him to the underground rap landscape surrounding artists such as Yeat, Ken Carson, OsamaSon, and PartyNextDoor-adjacent internet scenes, in addition to other emerging acts whose influence expanded his sound beyond traditional Southern rap. The creation of No Service captured this developmental period, built from long nights recording at home immediately after upgrading his equipment with the money earned from his first small distribution deal. Following its release, sosocamo began traveling frequently, recording in professional studios for the first time and working with a wide network of producers including Synthetic, Taz Taylor, Bakkwoods, and Rio Leyva. This period of mobility and collaboration shaped Big Country, a project that builds on the world established by No Service while shifting toward a more energetic and versatile sound designed to function across a wider range of genres. While maintaining a strict featureless run, Camo has begun connecting with artists such as ApolloRed1 and Sixbill, expanding his collaborative circle as he looks toward future projects. With Big Country set for release in 2026 and a year of touring ahead—sosocamo enters a new stage defined by versatility, visibility, and an ever-evolving artistic identity that encompasses his rural upbringing, pop-influenced melodic rap, and grounding in contemporary underground rap.
