CAM'RON - Crime Pays (Reissue) - 2LP - Vinyl [JUN 20]

2LP - Black Vinyl. First ever vinyl pressing of the 2009 album. 

Alongside fellow hip-hop icon Ma$e, Cam’ron is the host of It Is What It Is, a widely popular sports themed YouTube show that has featured guests like Stephen A. Smith, Mike Tyson, Snoop Dogg, Paul Pierce, Floyd Mayweather and more.

After breaking through with a gold selling debut in the late 1990’s, Harlem emcee Cam’ron quickly emerged as a leading figure in hip-hop, just as the genre was reaching mass audiences for the first time. A platinum-selling classic on Roc-A-Fella Records came a few years later, followed by the founding of the iconic collective Dipset and the release of three more seismic solo albums over the course of the 2000s. The last chapter in his historic run was 2009’s Crime Pays, which drew praise from critics while also lighting up the Billboard Charts, showcasing Cam’s sonic evolution while proving his pen game remained unmatched. More than 15 years after it’s release, this vital collection is now receiving an official vinyl pressing for the first time ever. A perpetually underrated lyricist with transcendent rhyme mechanics embedded in his leisurely flow, Cam’ron is in peak form on Crime Pays, effortlessly walking listeners through the details of his fascinating life and times. With suprisingly modern production supplied by AraabMuzik, I.N.F.O., Skitzo, and more, this memorable album is an important chapter in the story of a truly essential artist.
