40 Cal´s "Broken Safety 2" Hits Stores May 22nd

[Damien J.]

"The motto this year is I do it, I did it and I do it again” says 40 Cal, a veteran of both the New York City battle and mixtape scenes. Harlem native and longtime Dipset member 40 Cal has been dubbed “Mr. Rewind That,” a moniker that pays tribute to his hard hitting rhymes and quick witted metaphors that force fans, DJs, and foes alike to rewind… because when he spits, he spits fire.

Now, with indie powerhouse Babygrande Records in his corner (Hi-Tek,
Gillie Da Kid, GZA of Wu-Tang and more), 40 Cal steps into his own with
the May 22nd release of Broken Safety 2. The album features cameos from the entire Dipset family, including heavy-hitters Jim Jones, Cam’ron, Juelz Santana, Hell Rell, and JR Writer, along with superstar Akon, amongst others. As a Dipset member, 40 has waited for the time when he could step up and out on his own. In the interim, 40 has garnered a heavy following, having amassed street based mixtape sales of 50,000+ units.

40’s introduction to the game was as a featured artist on The
Diplomats’smash “Diplomatic Immunity II” along with highly coveted
appearances on the Dipset crew’s “More Than Music Vol. 1” and “The
Movement Moves On” (both records certified gold). Battle rap
enthusiasts, however, have seen 40 face-off against Cardi, Sam Scarfo,
and even himself in the now notorious episodes of MTV’s Fight Klub.
Those led to a now legendary battle with Def Jam’s Scarfo, who had
amassed a stretch of victories until 40 stole his crown.

With Broken Safety 2, 40 Cal has finally arrived as a torchbearing
member of the tight knit Dipset crew. “This brand is here,” he says,
“and it ain’t goin’ nowhere. Diplomats is more than a label, we like
blood.”

Spoken like a true family man.

How's living on fantasy island treating ya lol?  40 is probably the only good mixtape rapper outta Dipset but he's no where near Pap or Hood.

[QuietTruth]

No hate but 40 Cal could not do nuthin' to ALOT of mixtape artists.

It's not like he sucks, but besides some above average punchlines, he's not a good rapper.

its all opinion's homie.  I think he is a beast on the mic.  I wish he had a lil more substance but I think he is a awesome rapper.

I loved his verse on "Triple Up" as an example of how dope he can be, but I'd fall asleep halfway through a whole 40 Cal album. I gotta have some substance in the emcees I listen too, but to each his own. And I hope 40 does sell some records, and help bring NY outta it's slump. He will sell probably 30-50K which is phenomenal for an undergorund artist.

yeah I agree dude needs a lil more substance.  Yeah his verse on Triple Up was great!

[floatin_above_everything]

He's a young dude right? Hee'l probably one of NY's top dogs in 2-3 years, especially if he moves away from Dipset.

Since he's on Babygrande now, I wouldn't mind seeing how he sounds on a Hi_tek beat.
