![]() Instantly, the dormant rumours of a Dipset reunion are reignited. So I went back to my hood in Harlem and we walked around and shot the video.” The Ricky Saiz-directed visual shows The Diplomats and Dame Dash wandering around Harlem like it’s 2003, and his Supreme affiliation places it perfectly into the street wear world where Cam and A-Trak’s audiences align. “He got the director, he paid for the video, all he needed from us was just to be us. “I’m not even going to lie, A-Trak put the whole video together,” Cam’ron says when asked about ‘Dipshits’. While ‘Federal Reserve’ certainly shouldn’t be viewed as a throwback project, A-Trak is clearly aware of the ingredients necessary to make a Cam’ron project that will stand up to classic material like ‘Come Home With Me’ (2002) and ‘Purple Haze’ (2004). ![]() ‘Dipshits’ is the second track to come from the release, having been preceded by ‘Humphrey’, a track that didn’t have the impact of a visual, but caused excitement with A-Trak cleverly tapping into the soulful production style that would take Cam fans back to the height of his career. That’s what everybody’s thinking, but I don’t want to get people hyped… I don’t want to act like it’s a Dipset project coming out. It was just, ‘Oh, you want to do something? Let’s do something.’ Then we did it. He was like, ‘A-Trak is really big in the world that he’s in.’ So I was like, ‘Let’s just put a project together.’ We went to the studio in my house three times and knocked out about nine songs. ![]() “He wanted to do a song with me, and Dame Dash connected us. “I didn’t know who A-Trak was,” Cam admits as we settle into a booth in the bar downstairs. The pair sport matching Dipset tracksuits and Jordans.Ĭam arrived in London just this morning, following a 4,000-capacity sold-out show in his hometown of New York – his first with A-Trak in support of their forthcoming ‘Federal Reserve EP’ – and the success seems to be helping him overcome the tiredness of travelling. As he and his security spill out into the street he seems in good spirits, laughing at a YouTube video on his phone and showing it to his fiancé JuJu – an iconic figure in her own right due to her and Cam’s Instagram hijinks. We await Cam’s arrival outside a bar in central London the day before his no-show at the Kentish Town Forum, which ignites gossip across blogs and social media in the days that follow.
