Eight Gigs: Cam

After sharpening his swords in the battle arena, Sacramento rapper Cam has been proving he doesn't fall into the one-dimensional emcee category by making great records. In February he dropped the mellow-grooved The Chill Out Tape mixtape on Bandcamp as a precursor to his official record, Cold Chillin'—sure to counteract the hot box of a packed party. The album-release party at Sol Collective unveils his record with the regular players we expect to see lurking in Sol like Andru Defeye, Esso, Kurt Hustle and a special dance performance by Derek Dzrcks Dobynes. 2574 21st Street, www.facebook.com/,br />events/1491592614468021.
