Cam Gnarly out of the Inland Empire, CA is stepping into a new chapter with the release of his new 10 track album I Took It Personal. The project is produced start to finish by Teresa, Gnarly’s creative twin, who not only shares his first name but also his birthday. That unique bond bleeds through every track, giving the album a synchronicity that feels both rare and intentional. Together, the two Camerons crafted a project that’s sharp, soulful, and unafraid to take risks, blending heavy-hitting bangers with experimental edges.
The album pulls in strong features, including ICECOLDBISHOP, who snaps with razor-like precision on “Don’t Be Scared,” and Bay Area’s Wade08, who brings a lively, playful energy to “The Backs.” Additional co-production from OhGoshLeotus (Problem Addict) and Waju (Hit Dogs Holler) adds extra texture without ever straying from the core vision.
On the visual side, the cover art was designed by celebrated artist Dewey Saunders, known for his collage-heavy style that’s made waves across hip-hop. His design for I Took It Personal captures the project’s duality, using bold crimson orange tones and layered detail to reflect the raw power, inner charge, and transformative energy that runs through the album.
Lyrically, Cam takes listeners on a journey, one that starts in frustration, betrayal, and bitterness, then moves into clarity, acceptance, and growth. It’s not about staying stuck in the pain, but about letting it fuel transformation. Each track feels like a release, turning heavy emotions into lessons and boundaries into new beginnings.
