A CAMP Link Up Turns Into An “OMG (Oh My Gawd)" Moment

Some songs feel like they were polished for months. “OMG (Oh My Gawd)” feels like a door got locked, the clock started, and nobody left until the room had something undeniable.

That is basically what happened.

During Beatcave CAMP Vancouver in late November 2025, Leo Lotus caught a gap during a lunch break, walked into Ten Oh’s room, saw the right people hovering, and made a decision. Lock in. Move fast. No overthinking. Bring your own flavour, but commit to one shared outcome.

The result is “OMG (Oh My Gawd),” a high energy collaboration featuring Jack Hammond, Xay Dryz, and Manni Lewd, with Ten Oh handling production, recording, mixing, and mastering. It is the kind of record that only happens when talent and urgency collide.

The lunch break lock in

The best part of this story is how unglamorous it is. Not a label rollout. Not a four week email thread. Not a “let’s circle back.”

Just a room, a beat, and a group that agreed on one goal: make the song hit.

Lotus describes it like a quick mission. Everyone brought their own sound. The structure got built on the spot. Hooks and verses got placed with intention so each artist had a moment that felt like theirs. No ego wars, no weird politics. Just focus.

That is rare. And you can hear it.

Lotus comes from crates, not shortcuts

Lotus’s relationship with music started at home. His father DJ’d and kept a real collection, the kind that teaches you taste before it teaches you tactics. Vinyl. CDs. Loud systems. The details that make you care about sound, not just songs.

That background shaped a simple rule Lotus lives by: he has to love the record first. If he cannot replay it to himself, it does not leave the hard drive.

It is not a complicated philosophy. It is just honest. And honesty scales.

The underdog filter

Lotus has always leaned toward the artists just outside the spotlight. Where most people argue about the main character, he studied the second name in the headline. That underdog lens shows up in how he writes and how he wants to be received.

Relatable. Direct. Built for real moods, not just highlight reels.

That matters here because “OMG (Oh My Gawd)” is not trying to be clever for the sake of it. It is trying to be felt.

Temptation with an edge

Lotus describes the record’s energy as a tempting, toxic vibe, pulling from the emotional world he has been exploring in his R and B work and translating that feeling into a rap record.

He also credits a melodic first approach, starting with the catchiest idea in his head, then letting the lyrics snap into place around it. That workflow makes sense for a record like this. The hook has to land immediately, because the whole song is built to move.

Why this is a CAMP story, not just a song story

If you have ever been to a “music event” where nothing actually gets made, you already know why this matters.

CAMP Vancouver is designed around proof. Not vague inspiration. Proof.

Proof looks like a finished record by Sunday. Proof looks like a room where people actually collaborate instead of networking in circles. Proof looks like a lunch break that turns into a release.

Lotus and the team did not just make the song. They moved like operators. They pushed for visuals right away, treated momentum like something you protect, and made sure the record did not die in the group chat.

That is the real flex.
