Camp Lo is an American hip hop duo, formed in 1995, which hails from The Bronx, New York. The duo consists of rappers Sonny Cheeba (Salahadeen Wilds) and Geechi Suede (Saladine Wallace).

Camp Lo made their first appearance in 1996 on The Great White Hype soundtrack, with their single "Coolie High". The smooth party song was a minor hit, peaking at #25 on the Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart. Their first major exposure came with the release of their second single, the upbeat, horn driven "Luchini", otherwise known as "This Is It". The song became a crossover hit in 1997, breaking into the top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100, and reaching the top 5 on the Hot Rap Singles chart. The duo released their debut album Uptown Saturday Night in January 1997. The effort was widely acclaimed, praised for its accessible content and smooth, funk and jazz inspired production.

The majority of the album was produced by Ski, famous for his work with Jay-Z. Guest appearances were provided by De La Soul's Trugoy and Digable Planets' Butterfly. The album's 70s-style content was influential on a number of artists within the next few years after its release, like Will Smith, who enlisted Camp Lo for an appearance on his top-selling Big Willie Style album. Also in 1997, they appeared on Oran "Juice" Jones' single "Poppin' That Fly". They collaborated with Hip Hop legends De La Soul in 2000, on the song "So Good" from the Hip Hop 101 Compilation. They finally returned with another album in 2002, titled Let's Do It Again. This effort was not nearly as well-received as their debut, and was met with mediocre reviews and sales. Shortly after the album's release, Aesop Rock enlisted the duo to appear on his album Bazooka Tooth, exposing them to fans of the underground Definitive Jux label. In summer 2007 the duo returned with Black Hollywood after a five year hiatus from their previous release. In April 2008 Camp Lo signed with SRC/ Universal Records. They have changed their name to The Lo. This name change was a recommendation from NYC's Hot 97 DJ Mr. Cee. He suggested that this would assist the guys in reintroducing themselves to the mainstream. The duo released a new single titled "Lumdi", produced by Korleon and co-produced by The Apple Juice Kid.

On March 24, 2009, Camp lo's highly anticipated CD, Stone & Rob: Caught on Tape, was released. The album featured Brooklyn, NY singer, Yazarah, and was produced by Apple Juice Kid and Rob Chaseman.

@ Johnyboy31: The loop is from a group who was Leon Sylvers group called Dynasty. "The song was called "Adventures to the Land of Music" or something like that. Definitely by Dynasty.

When Uptown Saturday Night came out, Profile Records was acquired by Arista Records, home of Whitney Houston. Miss the entire Profile Records.
