Elcamino

Lott and Abraham Elcamino

Buffalo, NY-based emcee Elcamino of the underground hip-hop collective

Griselda, has released a flurry of EPs and full-lengths of the classic mafioso style

of rap from the 90s since hitting the scene in the mid-10s, and has shown no

signs of slowing down whatsoever. His material calls back to the works of legends

like Raekwon and Mobb Deep with his grim portrayals of crime and urban chaos,

inspired and informed by his own past as a drug-dealer. Frequently Elcamino has

found himself paired with Griselda cohorts such as Conway, Benny The Butcher,

and Westside Gunn, but on his 2019 EP Abraham & Lot, he's riding solo for a

more insular and introspective experience. Amidst his usual tales of street

thuggery and cocaine-proliferation are occasionally mellow and reflective,

backed by orchestral and piano-driven production from DJ Shay.
