Before Killa Cam was making a mark in the booth he was putting in work as one of the elite high school basketball stars in New York City. Anyone that knows NYC basketball knows about the Gauchos squad in the AAU league, which was where Cam got most of his exposure on the court. Even though his b-ball career ended, his infatuation with sports continued, inspiring the concept behind his second solo album S.D.E. (Sports, Drugs, and Entertainment). The title track of that album is my favorite Cam’ron track of all time. It gives you an inside look into Cam’s teenage years, his struggle, and his transition from a basketball player to a rapper.
