Cam’ron fans are pleading with the Dipset legend to deliver a new album after his latest It Is What It Is freestyle.
The “Welcome to New York” rapper performed the freestyle to open season four of his sports talk show, which he co-hosts with Ma$e.

Rapping over a hard-hitting, soul-sampling beat from GetLarge, Killa Cam spits slick rhymes like: “heck my shoes before I put them on, I don’t trust a sole/soul.”
The freestyle, which received an overwhelmingly positive response online, led to calls for Cam to get back in the booth, given it has been five years since he last dropped an album.

One fan commented: “Nahhhhhhh fam! We need a album,” while another said: “Nah we neeed the it is what it is mixtape wit all these joints,” referencing his previous It Is What It Is freestyles.
DJ Clue, who was namedropped in the freestyle (“Y’all ain’t got a clue, that’s word to Ernesto”), wrote: “Let’s Goooooo Killa.”
Despite his absence from the album circuit since 2019’s quietly released Purple Haze 2, Killa Cam has still been busy making music.
Last year, he dropped mixtape The Lost Files Vol. 1 which clocked in at eight tracks and included a feature from Styles P.

2022 also saw him release a project with A-Trak called U Wasn’t There.
Cam recently teased releasing new music with his It Is What It Is co-host Ma$e.
In a profile for GQ published earlier this year, he said: “Ma$e comes back from tour January 20, so maybe around the end of February or March, we’ll take the show on the road,” to which the article’s writer added: “He also says he and Ma$e already have a few songs together, though it’s up to Ma$e to decide when to drop them.”
Cam’ron also dropped a new song earlier this year as part of a marketing campaign for Kith.

Produced by Swizz Beatz, “Last Stop” saw Killa Cam rapping over a hard beat and showing off his trademark fluid flow.
Kith founder Ronnie Fieg explained why he recruited Cam’ron for the track, writing on Instagram: “I decided Cam was the perfect look and sound for Spring and I pictured the colorful theme of the collection working perfectly with his aesthetic.
“When I called him, I walked him through the creative of building a subway car set flooded with flowers and he was hyped on the direction.
