Over the past year, Camper has quietly been steering the sound of contemporary R&B. The producer, whose real name is Darhyl Camper Jr., has sat behind the boards for tracks from Justin Bieber, Coco Jones, Mary J. Blige, Ty Dolla $ign and Victoria Monét, among many others. So when it came time for him to release his debut album “Campilation” in early January, it came as no surprise that the tracklist read like an R&B fever dream, touting features spanning Stevie Wonder and Jill Scott to Tank and Brandy.
