The Longhairs Professional Series with Cam Meekins

I’m Not in the Music Business

“I’m in the internet business,” Cam told us.

Having migrated west only days beforehand, Boston rapper Cam Meekins joined Let It Ride from a hollow, unfurnished apartment as he waited for his belongings to arrive in California.

When you’ve been on tour for months, it’s not much of a difference.

Cam broke it down for us, from going on tour and the stakes of performing live, to consistent content creation and playing the long game. He’s been sticking to the plan and putting in the work to stay relevant, unique, and be where people are watching, building a niche for himself in a crowded field.

We were throwing down some flow with Cam Meekins on The Longhairs Professional Series, Episode 31 of Let It Ride.

What you'll hear about:

  • Cam’s first show, opening for Fashawn in Boston
  • Growing an internet-based fan base in the music industry
  • Performing with confidence
  • Creating content—not just music
  • Putting in the work, staying consistent and doing the fundamental things every day


As always, Let It Ride is sponsored by Hair Ties For Guys, the finest men’s hair ties in the world.
