Fakemink, born Vincenzo Camille on January 29, 2005, in London, is a rising voice in the UK rap scene known for his genre-blending sound and unfiltered lyrical style. He got his start in music at just ten years old, experimenting with beats on FL Studio. Early tracks released under the name 9090gate hinted at his talent, but it wasn’t until April 2024—when he reintroduced himself as Fakemink—that his artistic identity fully took shape.
Fakemink describes his sound as “luxury rap”—a vibrant mix of cloud rap, jerk, boom bap, and hip house. His debut album, London’s Saviour (2023), was entirely self-produced and quickly established him as one to watch. In 2024 alone, he dropped more than fifty singles, with tracks like “Easter Pink” gaining viral traction and buzz across music blogs and underground channels.
His influences span a wide spectrum, from the abstract soundscapes of Dean Blunt and Imogen Heap’s ethereal vocals, to Kanye West’s boundary-pushing production and even the rhythm of Drake’s “Headlines.” These elements merge in Fakemink’s music to create a sound that’s introspective, bold, and unmistakably his own.
Despite his growing fame, Fakemink remains grounded. A practicing Muslim, he steers clear of alcohol and channels his discipline into his craft. With a fearless approach to self-expression and a relentless work ethic, Fakemink is redefining what UK rap can sound and feel like—on his own terms.
