Cam’ron Unveils Tense Suge Knight Encounter Over Tupac Sample
When it comes to telling stories in hip-hop, few artists can do it quite like Cam’ron. The legendary rapper from Harlem recently shared a memorable experience he had in the music industry involving Suge Knight, a well known figure in the scene. In his signature style, Cam’ron described the tension that arose when he used a famous song by Tupac called “Ambitionz Az A Ridah.” In the early 2000s, Cam’ron sampled the song for one of his tracks. He got the okay from the producer, Daz Dillinger, who was connected to Suge Knight’s Death Row Records. However, Suge Knight didn’t approve of Cam’ron’s use of the song, leading to a heated conversation between them.
Suge Knight was known for being intimidating, and the situation could have gotten out of hand. Tupac’s album, All Eyez On Me, is one of the most celebrated in hip-hop history, and “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” is a powerful track from that album. Many artists dream of using that strong West Coast sound in their own music. For Cam’ron, getting permission from Daz Dillinger felt like a great opportunity. But Suge Knight viewed Cam’ron’s move as a challenge to his power. Although there was a disagreement between them, Cam’ron’s story highlights the complicated relationships and power dynamics that often happen in the music world.
This incident reminds us of how respect and business issues played a big role in hip-hop during its golden age. Nevertheless, Cam’ron took the experience in stride, seeing it as just another chapter in his remarkable career. Cam’ron’s encounter with Suge Knight adds to his impressive legacy in a culture where confidence and resilience are key. Whether through his unique fashion choices, clever lyrics, or standing up for himself, Cam’ron demonstrates why he remains one of the most enduring personalities in hip-hop. With stories like this, it’s clear that Cam’ron is a master storyteller, sharing unforgettable moments from a career that has seen it all.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
