Known for his blackout delivery, malleability, and candid lyricism, Chicago artist KAMI began performing in the early 2010s. As a founding member of the SAVEMONEY collective, KAMI was an intrical part of a group of artists, and friends, driven to explore the more experimental and genre-less sides of hip-hop culture, and saw fellow SAVEMONEY members like <a href="spotify:artist:1anyVhU62p31KFi8MEzkbf" data-name="Chance the Rapper">Chance the Rapper</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:27w1NoOLMX7tJMYqcetPyG" data-name="VIC MENSA">VIC MENSA</a> rise to enormous stardom. KAMI is 1/2 of the duo Leather Corduroys with his SAVEMONEY brother <a href="spotify:artist:1ewyVtTZBqFYWIcepopRhp" data-name="Joey Purp">Joey Purp</a>.
KAMI released his first album, Just Like the Movies, in 2017, which the Chicago Reader hailed as having, “sound big enough for an IMAX screen”. He followed that with the five-song EP Superstar, which featured the legendary Chicago anthem "PAYLOAD". In 2018, KAMI released a joint album with Grammy-nominated producer <a href="spotify:artist:5ISXAUt037t6aYhvewRtzd" data-name="Smoko Ono">Smoko Ono</a>, titled "Very Slight". The album features the smash hit Reboot with Chance.
His more recent work shows a willingness to experiment across genres—blending rap, pop, and world/dance influences—as heard on his 2023 album IT’S OK LOVERRR.
