Prior to the formation of 88GLAM and following the disbanding of their former group coined "Get Home Safe Crew" with Jazz Cartier, both Derek Wise and 88 Camino had been releasing music separately. Wise and 88 Camino remained in touch and collaborated frequently and previously worked together on the tracks "Anuva Wun" as a single by 88 Camino and "I Can Tell" from Wise's 2017 debut album Inglorious. Wise and Camino began teasing their collaborative project during the summer of 2017.
The duo introduced the name "88GLAM" on November 1, 2017, premiering their first music video "12" via Billboard which featured a cameo from The Weeknd. This was followed by the release of another music video for "Bali" featuring NAV and the debut of their self-titled mixtape 88GLAM on November 7, 2017.
On April 20, 2018, four new tracks were added to 88GLAM and re-released as 88GLAM RELOADED by XO Records and Republic Records. Introducing a new remix to the duo's platinum-certified record Bali with NAV now featuring 2 Chainz.
On November 8, 2018, 88GLAM released a new single titled "Lil Boat" from their upcoming album titled 88GLAM2.
On November 15, 2018, 88GLAM released 88GLAM2 under XO Records and Republic Records with new features from Gunna on their song titled "Racks", as well as another feature from NAV on "It's a Flex". Following its release, 88GLAM2 debuted at #8 on iTunes All-Genre Chart, then at #6 on the iTunes' Hip Hop Chart and also landed itself a top five spot in Spotify's Canada's New Music Friday playlist.
On August 26, 2022, 88GLAM released their final album, Close To Heaven Far From God. This would mark the end of 88GLAM, with Derek and Camino going separate ways.

Throwin' all these bands while we in Follies
Horseman on my emblem, but it's headless
Roof gone now we drivin' down to Venice
She so good at what she do, I might bust a move
Jaw been on a lock while I sprinkle Molly rock
How come when I'm comin' down's the only time you need me?
She so good at what she do, ain't no room for talkin'
Ain't no room for talkin', ain't no room for talkin'
Mixing tinted liquor, I ain't fuckin' with no white shit
I don't trust an OP, so many photos that I cropped
DNA trappings in my genes, yeah
Bought myself a pair of Balmain jeans, yeah
'Member when I traveled with that ball, yeah
'Member when I sold them that rerock, yeah
Mixin' up that Raf with that Margiela
Walkin' past my ex, now she get jealous
Wait, hold on, had to put down on that 'Rari
Wait, hold on, did that VLONE like I'm Bari
Pull up on the plug, let him know I need a pint
Don't ask for a sip, no, I'm not sellin' lines
If she comin' to the crib then she knows that it's a pine ting
Hit it then pass it to my slime
You try to dap me up after the show
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
You wanna sip my drink, yeah, you wanna do my blow
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
She so good at what she do, I might bust a move
Jaw been on a lock while I sprinkle Molly rock
How come when I'm comin' down's the only time you need me?
How come when I'm poppin' is the only time you see me?

Outline you in chalk, Raf or Ricky, when I walk in (yo)
Wylin' like I'm Stone Cold Steve, I fucked a bitch in Austin
Just pass me the rock, I don't know how much I pop (oh)
Dissin' Derek, that ain't wise, 88 bullets gon' drop him

The song "Bali" by 88GLAM NAV is a hip-hop track that explores themes of wealth, fame, and party culture. The chorus starts with the line "Time to turn the heat up like it's Bali," which refers to the tropical island in Indonesia known for its party scene. The singers are throwing money while at the strip club "Follies," and they claim to be so good at what they do that there is no room for talking. The verse discusses drug use, particularly mentioning "Molly rock," and the trust issues that come with being famous. The song also features lines about designer clothing and cars, as well as references to other hip-hop artists.
In terms of the overall message of the song, it seems to be about the lifestyle of a successful rapper. The line "She so good at what she do, ain't no room for talkin'" could be seen as a sort of mantra for the performers, emphasizing their skill and confidence. At the same time, there are hints of insecurity, particularly in the lines "How come when I'm comin' down's the only time you need me? / How come when I'm poppin' is the only time you see me?" Despite the lavish lifestyle they portray, there is a sense that they are never quite satisfied.

@jorgen8569
Dropped 4 banger albums that I still bump to this very day. You guys were and still are the hardest duo in the game. Itโs sad that youโre splitting up, but itโs for the better. Hope to hear new music coming from both of you guys in the future. RIP 88GLAM ๐
@gayhiphoprighthandmaniwill7274
Why did they split up?
@jorgen8569
@GAY HIP HOP RIGHT HAND MAN#I Will
No one knows exactly why they split, but Iโm speculating they split because they no longer fw each other. After they left XO, I think they lost the drive to work together and ultimately called it off
@gayhiphoprighthandmaniwill7274
@jorge n True thatโs what it does seem like TY!
@GucciP777
once I learned that they don't even record with each other I knew it wouldn't last.. this was 88glam 2 times when mino said in an interview how purple baguettes came about. glam 2 is my fav project and nothing will even beat the feeling of the first two while with xo, but I like all their projects of course
@Vinnin
When this song dropped, everything was so good! It's sad to see the duo split up, but I hope for the best for both of them
@sean-jq7hs
Yeah a shame how it all panned out. Wished they coulda got a song with a abel
@maro
honestly i'm glad i came across their music, holy shit these guys are gonna get really big wish them the best! big fan
