Kristopher Thomas Campbell (born April 27, 1990), known professionally as K Camp (stylized as K CAMP) is an American rapper. Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, he first garnered attention following the release of his 2013 single "Money Baby", which led him to sign with Interscope Records. Released in December of that year, his single "Cut Her Off" (remixed featuring 2 Chainz) became his first and highest-charting entry—at number 49—on the Billboard Hot 100. Both songs received platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and preceded the release of his debut extended play (EP), In Due Time (2014).

Campbell's debut studio album, Only Way Is Up (2015) peaked at number 20 on the Billboard 200 and was supported by the double platinum-certified single, "Comfortable." His 2019 single, "Lottery (Renegade)" marked a brief period of commercial resurgence for its usage on the video service TikTok. Following its long-sustained popularity on the platform, he signed with the TikTok-subsidiary company SoundOn in 2023.[3][4]

Campbell founded the record label, Rare Sound in 2018.[5] He was selected as part of the XXL 2015 Freshman Class, and named by Rolling Stone as a "New Artist You Need To Know" that same year. He has also received nominations for a BET Hip Hop Award and an iHeartRadio Music Award.
