Harlem emcee and former Dipset leader Cam'ron has confirmed that his three year sabbatical from album releases will end this Spring.
The new LP, entitled Crime Pays, was first announced for release back in November 2008.
According to a representative for Cam, no songs that have leaked in the last six months will appear on the project.
However, the spokesman clarified that "I Hate My Job," which dropped a few days ago, is actually the album's first single.
A video was released Monday (February). The clip showcases the struggle of juggling family responsibilities with the vigor of corporate America.
Today, the Harlem veteran is shooting the artwork for Crime Pays in New York City, after he quietly disappeared from public life after a drama filled 2007.
The rapper had engaged in high-profile beefs with Tru life and G Unit, along with falling out with close friends and Dipset members Jim Jones and Juelz Santana.
The rapper's woes were compounded that year after a negative backlash for an appearance on 60 Minutes, were Cam'ron explained he wouldn't alert authorities to a next door pedophile, since it would constitute "snitching."
Cam's comeback album Crime Pays will be released on April 21 via Asylum Records.
At press time, Cam'ron is expected to embark on media tour to explain his absence, future plans, the current situation with Dipset, and his past issues with Jay-Z and 50 Cent.

I gotta bump it again

When I read the thread title I automatically got excited -for the first time- about a new Cam'ron release since Diplomatic Immunity Volume One.

I never thought I'd say this, but Cam'ron is the only one in the rap game spitting real life shit. I always used to love his music for it's over the top lyrics and goofy rhyme style, but now that we're in a recession he's really bringing a down to earth feel, which is refreshing amongst all these shitty rappers like TI and Jeezy blabbering about their jewelery.

I'm lookin' forward to it... I might catch some heat for this but I actually liked Killa Season, it wasn't the best lyrically but it had dope tracks on it
-
ill give it at least one spin & then either keep it in rotation or dump it. ;) :D
-
He can do it. Cam'ron's songs have never been good just because of a feature.

Reclusive Dipset Don Cam’ron, recently spoke with XXLmag.com on his highly anticipated forthcoming CD Crime Pays - the rapper’s first studio album since 2006’s Killa Season.
As to the meaning behind the album title, the Harlem MC says it describes his persona perfectly. “It’s called Crime Pays because I feel that I am the living story of crime pays,” he explained to XXL.
Hoping to play catch up with fans, Cam says the new disc will offer more than enough new material to make up for lost time. “I have about 40 songs,” he said of the amount of tracks he has already recorded. “I’m just trying to pick the 20, 22, 23 songs that I’m a use to put on the album.”
“The CD has 80 minutes on it so you know a lot of times people don’t really know that they put 12, 13, 14 songs and there is still 30 minutes left,” he continued. “So I’m trying to just fill it all the way up, being that I haven’t been out in so long.”
Killa plans on staying in the family this go around, as far as appearances are concerned. “You know I don’t like to do too many guest appearances, probably just anybody that’s in-house most of the time,” he revealed. “You know just people that are in house, Harlem people that are in my circle. Nothing major as far as appearances are concerned.”
Crime Pays is slated to hit stores on April 28 via Asylum Records.

Yup, Cam was really the only force in Dipset, as far as being lyrical and real with his rhymes.

Camron and Jim Jones are probably the most materialistic rappers out there, the only reason theyd rap about the recession is because their own income has lowered ...which is not the case concerning Royce.

Well okay... This is sorta like a Joe Budden / Saigon comparision.. So it equals out to both are good artists, just different types.. And Jim Jones is horrible more often than not, I bet we can agree on that.

-
and at the end of the day he can rap better than all of them and many rappers still to this day

Word, for sure man

for some reason i expect this to be good, hopefully cams time away has got him focussed.

I was never too fond of Cam... but his shit has grown on me and really to be honest this mainstream shit thats out there now makes throwback dipset sound like very quality music haha... coz I always thought it was garbage. But really Cam is the best of the set and that free promotion hes been getting was a smart move. When he said no features though.... big record labels usually like to change that. And even if thats not the case... the xxl update said hes just having in house features... so I'd guess thats like Penz and Tom Gist... some of those other diplomat affialiated harlem cats that haven't been rolling with jim, freekey and juelz. Crime Pays sounds liek it will be a themed album so thats kinda dope, but the 23 tracks is a bit suspect.... quantity over quality... who knows either way i'm looking forward to the album. See if killa still got it.

I've enjoyed most of Cam's albums but this sounds really dope, glad to see he's gonna work hard on this one.
