Camp Lo is an American hip-hop duo, formed in 1995, which hails from New York City, New York (The Bronx). They are most notable for their flair towards blaxploitation in their style of dress and in their lyrics.

Camp Lo uses slang heavily, often to the point of near incomprehensibility. A typical example of their lyrics is:

"Casanova brown, levitating jeeky in dashiki's / In la hotta car 54 chasin' diamond runners / Headin' ice-bound, where every chilla dime can get / Your Harlem buck strut freezin' world heist / Hollywood."

Nevertheless, Camp Lo's undeniably catchy sound has made them popular among lovers of creative hip-hop, particularly on college radio. The bulk of Camp Lo's material is produced by Ski (producer). Camp Lo has colloborated with Will Smith, De La Soul, & Aesop Rock

Camp Lo is reportedly in negotiations with rapper Talib Kweli to be signed to his Blacksmith Records imprint.
