Before the money and the fame found him, fakemink was just a young boy from Essex, making music in his bedroom with the curtains drawn. Now, with his new album Terrified . positioning him as rap’s next great hope—cosigned by Drake, performing with Playboi Carti, an underground hero on both sides of the Atlantic—the 21-year-old, born Vincenzo Camille, is trying his best to hold onto an old life he’s rapidly being pulled away from.
