CAM'RON;A-TRAK/U WASN'T THERE

U Wasn’t There, Cam’s first full-length since 2019’s joyous Purple Haze 2, is a joint project with beatmaker A-Trak after their promised Federal Reserve EP failed to materialize. A few of these songs have likely been on A-Trak’s hard drive in various forms for a while: The pair’s 2014 single “Dipshits,” featuring Juelz Santana and some Just Blaze & the Blazettes drums, helps to pad out a still-lean 27-minute runtime. But the out-of-time nature of the production means the record doesn’t feel past its sell-by date.
