With his unapologetic sexuality, sharp lyricism, and melodic delivery, Halifax rapper, singer, and songwriter Cody Boudreau, better known as Cam XI, brings a provocative edge to contemporary hip-hop. His music moves freely between explicit bravado, slick wordplay, melodic hooks, and more personal moments, drawing from the larger-than-life presence of artists like Lil’ Kim, The Notorious B.I.G., and Drake.
A native of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Boudreau began releasing music as Cam XI in 2025, quickly building a catalog that spans hip-hop, pop-rap, melodic trap, and boom bap. His songs range from sexually charged anthems and confident flexes to vulnerable reflections, with his songwriting and personality remaining at the center of each release. His debut mixtape The Cum Up features bold sexuality, notably on his debut single How to Spit.
Openly gay, Cam XI approaches sexuality in hip-hop as something to own rather than conceal, bringing the same unapologetic attitude to desire, identity, confidence, and vulnerability. His writing is direct, witty, and frequently explicit, while his melodic instincts give his music a flexibility that extends beyond traditional rap.
With a growing independent catalog and a sound that continues to evolve, Cam XI is carving out his own lane from the East Coast of Canada—one built around authenticity.
