U Wasn't There [Explicit Vinyl]

U Wasn't There, the long-fabled collaborative project between superstar DJ/producer/Fool's Gold founder A-Trak and New York trendsetter/lyricist/cultural icon Cam'ron-drops via Empire. Arriving nearly a decade after the elite duo dropped their first singles "Humphrey" and "Dipshits", the album features masterful production by A-Trak, Just Blaze, DJ Khalil, !llmind, Thelonious Martin and more, as well as uniquely introspective verses from one of the most elusive rappers in hip-hop. "U Wasn't There" recalls 2000's-era Dipset sounds and sets the stage for Killa Cam to deliver his hard-hitting, sharply-penned wordplay exemplified on standout "What You Do" featuring Damon Dash. "All I Really Wanted"-a soulful Harlem anthem in which Cam effortlessly recounts his teenage years as a basketball player, growing up with fallen heroes Big L and Bloodshed, and hustling his way to legendary status-perked ears at Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Complex, Vibe, Stereogum, and more. The cold-hearted "Ghetto Prophets" featuring Conway The Machine followed suit, earning nods from XXL, HipHopDX, Revolt, and Brooklyn Vegan.
