Kam, born Craig A. Miller, is a West Coast rapper from Los Angeles, widely recognized for his potent lyrical storytelling and strong affiliations with the community activism scene. Emerging in the early 90s, Kam's music career is characterized by a conscious approach to rap, with an emphasis on political and social themes. Born on April 23, 1970, Kam's entrance into the hip-hop arena was marked by a powerful debut with his album "Neva Again" in 1993, which provided commentary on racial injustice and urban strife.

Despite having a discography that spans over two decades, Kam has remained an influential but sometimes underrecognized figure in West Coast hip-hop. His subsequent releases like "Made In America" and "Kamnesia" showcased his wisdom and undeniable skill in weaving urgent social issues into his music. Collaborations with artists such as Nate Dogg in "Bubblin'" and Tyrese and Solo in "Showin' U Off" demonstrate his versatility and capacity to bridge the classic G-funk sound with contemporary rap aesthetics. While he may not have achieved the mainstream acclaim of some of his peers, Kam's unwavering dedication to the craft and his community cements his role as a respected voice within the landscape of hip-hop culture.
