Cam Gnarly Shines on His Impressive New Project, ‘Love Really Is… ‘

Regardless if people want to admit it or not, the Hip-Hop scene in the Inland Empire has reached new heights in the last 10 years. Spearheaded by industry darlings like Audio Push and Hit-Boy, the new found attention helped shine light on the vast amount of talented artists making music in the surrounding cities. Hailing from San Bernardino, Cam Gnarly is likely among the very top of that list, as he’s been proudly repping the I.E. for as long as he’s made music. Looking to keep his momentum going, he checks into our pages with his infectious new project, Love Really Is….

Clocking in at 17-minutes, Love Really Is… is a thought-provoking, engaging album that finds Cam further proving himself as a well rounded artist. Known for his soulful vocals and introspective songwriting abilities, he utilizes the project as an opportunity to level up. On tracks like, “Sweet,” he recruits Pretty Pape$ as they provide a festive narrative about a beautiful woman that has them vexed, while on records like “Boundaries,” he lets his guard down a bit more, baring more personal information about how he feels on certain topics. The best song on the project, though, is without a doubt, “Heart Talks.” Produced by Aye Brook, the record finds Cam and featured artist, Nicky D’s completely letting loose, lyrically. With Nicky kicking things off with an infectious opening verse, Cam plays clean up and leaves no stone unturned as he raps for a few minutes straight about all of the things plaguing his mind. 

Following up his 333 HZ album that was released in the earlier part of 2020, it seems as if Cam Gnarly has no signs of slowing down. Take a second to tap into his new EP below and get familiar with the San Bernardino emcee.
