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.

Links came Hyrule
Link, pay my dues, ayy
Come and I go, ayy

Drip when I sleep, ayy
Sleep like I drool, ayy
Link from Hyrule, ayy

Turtle juice my cut
Turbo boost my truck
Grab your GPS, say she need me less
Got on Needle pants, fill it with the bands
Suicide, I'm not your friend, but we could can make some bank
Used to rollin' on my solo, off another Xan (Skrrt, skrrt)
Switch up like the niggas out my circle (Circle)
Flooded special order, twin turbo (Turbo)
Neck all on pool, walk with a tool (Tool)
Bitch tryna bool (Bool), turbo my fuel (Fuel)
I just popped a half 'cause I'm leanin' off the Wock' (Leanin' off the)
Sniper of the year, put it in and she lock
Pull up with a toaster (Hit), GB super soaker (Hit)
Now it's Testarossa, every time we rope her (Lit)
