Cam & China first started to gain recognition in 2016 when they unleashed their self-titled EP. The Inglewood-based sisters went viral on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, racking up millions of views and earning praise from the likes of 50 Cent, Ty Dolla Sign, E-40, and many more. They also appeared in the second season of HBO Max’s series Rap Sh*t.
During a 2016 interview with XXL, China was asked about standout moments in her career. "I would say the biggest moment is putting our first EP out and finally getting a body of work out," she said at the time. "'We Gon Make It' is pretty dope. We get a lot of people that listen to that song and it’s very motivational. It’s the last one on the EP and is different from the rest of the songs. It meant a lot to us too because it’s coming from a real place. Just people gravitating to that song."
"We represent to have a voice on speaking your thoughts to how you truly feel and being a woman about it," she also said. "Just not caring about what anyone else has to say."
