It can be hard to give new artist a chance these days due to the repetitive nature of music, rhyme styles and content. Ever so often there are individuals who have a subtle understanding of what it takes to stand out, and although their influences might not be one’s cup of tea, the combination of those influences can create a solid artist. Enter Cam Gnarly, a San Bernardino rapper who takes pride in putting his locale on the map metaphorically with the album ‘Northend Gnarly.’ Cam Gnarly provides an audio tour of the feel of California and the youthfulness of a new generation. What keeps that youthful expression unique is not focusing on the negative which is almost a prerequisite to rap in this social media era. The rapper does not preach to ones ears but relies on the exercise of chanting and response to where songs like ‘More To Do’ and ‘That’s’ Life’ help provide a positive frequency for the inner soul. Cam Gnarly is assisted by Asend Beats, Du Noise, Skywalker and others providing production while vocal features are rightly limited to Rae, Gold Ro$e and Geebose. These names might be unfamiliar but get to know them as they all contributed to a feel good release ready for listening in any season of the year. What did you think of the album?

Singles include:
‘Space & Opportunity,’ ‘I Don’t Play About You,’ ‘Blessed With Stressed With,’ ‘DINO USA’ & ‘More To Do’
