88Glam was a Canadian hip hop duo established in 2017, consisting of Shakqueel "88Camino" Burthwright and Derek "Wise" Bissue. They previously had contracts with XO and Republic Records, frequently collaborating with their label associate Nav.
Career
Prior to forming 88Glam, both artists had pursued solo careers following the dissolution of their earlier collective "Get Home Safe" alongside Jazz Cartier. Their joint efforts included tracks like "Anuva Wun" and "I Can Tell," featured on Wise's 2017 album Inglorious. The duo hinted at their collaboration during the summer of 2017, officially unveiling the name "88Glam" on November 1, 2017, with the release of the "12" music video, which included a guest appearance by the Weeknd. Shortly after, they dropped "Bali," featuring Nav, followed by their self-titled mixtape 88Glam on November 7, 2017.
In 2018, 88Glam secured deals with XO and Republic Records. On April 20, 2018, they reissued their debut project as 88Glam Reloaded, adding four new songs including a remix with 2 Chainz, through these labels. The single "Lil Boat" was released on November 8, 2018, as a precursor to their second album 88Glam2, which came out on November 15 and included features from Nav and Gunna. In March 2019, they appeared on Nav's track "Rack in My Sleep" from his album Bad Habits.
On March 5, 2020, the duo released the single "Swim" and announced their forthcoming album Close to Heaven Far from God, initially scheduled for April 17. Nevertheless, in April 2020, speculation arose regarding their split and termination from XO and Republic, which the pair denied while postponing the album’s release. Subsequently, on June 19, they revealed plans for an independent mixtape titled New Mania, which was released on June 26. In interviews, they confirmed their departure from XO and Republic to operate independently.
Later, on November 6, 2020, 88Glam unveiled the single "East to West" under 6ixBuzz Entertainment and Warner Music Canada. Their album Close to Heaven Far from God was ultimately launched independently on August 26, 2022.
