Dipset founder Cam’Ron and his protege Vado will release their first retail collaboration album Gunz N’ Butta on August 31 via E1 Music.
The project’s first single, “Speaking in Tungs,” has been making strides in their home state of New York, where radio station Hot 97 has confirmed the track has reached their rotation Top 10.
Counting other Harlemites like Mase, Big L, and Doug E. Fresh amongst his influences, Vado is not surprised that Dipset fans have gravitated toward the duo’s chemistry. Although Gunz N’ Butta will be there first studio release, the pair have previously collaborated on the mixtapes Boss of All Bosses and Boss of All Bosses 2.5.
“The vibe between me and Cam was crazy,” recalled Vado. “I’m from his ‘hood on 142nd and Lenox, so once we started kickin’ it like Goodfellas and he started recording with me, it was history in the making.”
Even though many have stumbled with their first transition from the sandbox-styled mixtape atmosphere to the stricter confines of albums, Vado has boldly declared Gunz N’ Butter will be a classic that covers many different themes and styles.
“It’s our first album and I promise it’s so much of a classic,” Vado said. “It’s like all the Boss of all Bosses tapes put together. We hit y’all from all angles—we hit y’all from the streets, for the ladies, for the club… It’s five stars, man.”
At press time, Vado expects to follow the album with the release of a new mixtape this Fall titled Slime Flu.
