Cam Will - New Ties
/Life is filled with a spectrum of infinite decisions. One day you’ll decide what you want to do with the rest of your life and you’ll stick to that. That’s the norm. But… the norm is boring. Don’t stick to the norm or the status quo. Do whatever the hell you want. Don’t let people dictate your decisions based on their comfort-ability with their lives. If you wake up one day and decide you want to do something new, do it. Who's gonna stop you? Nobody.
Let me break it down for you. Imagine if Cam Will listened to what other people had to say about him going from a Division One athlete to an up and coming rapper. Who is Cam Will? Well, I’m glad you asked.
Cam Will is a super star on the field and now he’s about to be a super star in your music libraries. Cam’s latest project is a two track EP titled “New Ties.” His first track is called “Down.” On this track, the first thing that instantly caught my attention was literally the first line, he says “I think back, when I first made my decision to walk away from something I put 10,000 hours to.” That’s a lot to give up. He goes into talking about releasing himself from the box that people put him in. Making the decision to leave all you know behind to ultimately jumping into the ocean of the unknowing is terrifying. All dreamchasers have been there. The fake love and ingenuine compliments are all apart of the process of becoming great. I really like this song. He’s keeping it real and being vulnerable with his experience up until this point. This is by no means an easy thing to do. He ends the song with the verbal doubts of the people surrounding him. He’s heard it all. This isn’t supposed to be funny but it really made think of that line in like every Disney movie where the Dad is like “You’re giving up your dream, Cam!” and then Cam is like “No, Dad. I’m GiViNg uP yOuRs!”
And finally his last track is called “The Process” where he talks about, you guessed it, the process. He talks about what he’s currently going through with his creative process in regards to external obstacles. He makes a promise that he’s gonna make it soon. Bottom line is he gon’ make y’all feel him. Y’all gone put some ‘respek’ on his name! His vocal tone really reminds me of Big Sean so I can actually see myself listening to his music leisurely.
Listen Cam, haters gon’ hate. That’s the point of haters, they’re your biggest fans. Keep going and follow through. Never give up on your dreams! Show Cam Will some love by streaming his latest project “New Ties” and check him out on YouTube under the name Cam Will. He’s dope y’all! I would not send y’all off. Check him out!
