Killa's Back! After a long hiatus during which he apparently thought about retiring from hip-hop all together, Cam'ron released his 6th album to date which qualifies (in my mind) as the first big official release of the year. While a good album, it is incredibly hit or miss. As usual, when Cam'ron connects on a track he hits it out of the ballpark and this is clear in a few songs on Crime Pays, most notably 'Never Ever', 'My Job', 'Silky', and 'Get It In Ohio'. While this amount of strong tracks would usually make for a pretty strong album, Cam'ron loads this single disc to the brim with a total of 23 tracks (18 songs). As a result, Cam'ron has his fair share of misses. But after such a long absence, I'm willing to overlook the missteps.
