Cam’ron Set to Release Two Films in 2011
Cam’ron, the iconic Harlem rapper known for his sharp lyrics and entrepreneurial spirit, is stepping back into the film world. Riding high off the momentum of his Gunz N’ Butta album with Vado, released just last week, and the highly anticipated Diplomats reunion album, Cam’ron has announced two feature films slated for release later this year: Cousin Bang and Killa Season 2.
During his recent appearance on BET’s 106 & Park, Cam’ron detailed his ambitious plans to deliver new cinematic projects, cementing his dual role as a musician and filmmaker.
Revisiting Killa Season
Cam’ron first made waves in the film world with Killa Season in 2006. The tough, street-inspired movie served as a companion piece to his album of the same name. Both the film and album were praised for their raw authenticity, with the movie gaining a cult following for its unapologetic portrayal of Harlem life.
With Killa Season 2 set for a December 2011 release, fans are eager to see how Cam’ron evolves his storytelling. “Shout out to Queen Latifah and Shakim [Compere] for helping us out with that,” Cam’ron shared, hinting at the involvement of the Hollywood power duo behind successful films like Just Wright and Bringing Down the House. While details on the plot remain under wraps, the follow-up promises to build on the foundation laid by its predecessor.
The Return of Cousin Bang
Alongside Killa Season 2, Cam’ron is bringing back one of his most beloved characters, Cousin Bang. First introduced in the 2009 video for “I Used to Get It in Ohio,” Cousin Bang quickly became a fan favorite for his humorous yet menacing persona.
According to Cam’ron, the Cousin Bang movie will be released in October 2011. This standalone project aims to expand on the character’s backstory, providing fans with a deeper look into the larger-than-life figure. Cam hinted at big plans for the film during his 106 & Park interview, saying, “We’re working on the movie Cousin Bang—that’ll be out this October.”
While Cam did not disclose specific details about the production, the involvement of Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere suggests a polished and professional approach to the project.
A Busy Year for Cam’ron
The announcement of these two films comes at a pivotal time for Cam’ron, who has been making waves in both music and business. His collaboration with Vado on Gunz N’ Butta is currently generating buzz, thanks to tracks like “Hey Muma.” Additionally, Cam’ron and the rest of the Diplomats are deep into preparations for their long-awaited reunion album.
This creative resurgence marks a new era for Cam’ron, who spent much of the late 2000s out of the spotlight. Now, with his music back in rotation and his film projects on the horizon, Cam’ron is once again proving his versatility as an artist and entrepreneur.
A Look Back at Cam’ron’s Film Legacy
Cam’ron’s foray into filmmaking began with Killa Season, a bold move that set him apart from other rappers of his time.

Their collaboration with Cam’ron signals a potential shift in how his films are produced and marketed. As a result, elevating them to a wider audience. This partnership could help Cam’ron’s projects achieve greater mainstream success. Meanwhile he’s also maintaining the authenticity that his fans love.
What Fans Can Expect
