Mir Fontane Tells Compelling Story of 'Camden'; New Project Out Now

23 year old, Mir Fontane is at his most vulnerable in his highly anticipated project, Camden, which is available today. The 12-track mixtape originally appeared on Mass Appeal yesterday with the outlet pointing out Fontane's efforts to tell disturbing, yet cohesive stories about his hometown of Camden, NJ, stating, "True stories like this punctuate the tape, although they're anonymized and blended together to keep them relatable and also so nobody could be implicated. It's not glorification, it's just fact."

Throughout Camden, Mir brilliantly stays on the topic of uncertainty and disappointment as he shifts his focus from his poverty stricken hometown to his failing relationship with tracks like, "This Life" and his viral hit, "Frank Ocean."

Camden highlights Mir Fontane's effortless narration and versatile sound. Mir shows his ability to channel the darkness of Tupac on "Cold," yet the graphic designer is also au courant with the state of hip-hop with haunting records like "Still In the Hood."

After listening to Camden, it is impossible to ignore Mir Fontane's potential as one of hip-hop's most important storytellers of the new generation.
