(7/28/00, 5 p.m. ET) - Cam'ron is set to release S.D.E. (Sports, Drugs, & Entertainment) -- the follow-up to his 1998 gold certified debut album, Confessions Of Fire -- on September 10. S.D.E. features guest vocals from Ol' Dirty Bastard, Prodigy of Mobb Deep, Noreaga, and the original lineup of Destiny's Child.

The new set's first single, "What Means The World To You," features a sample of the Police hit, "Roxanne." To accompany the album, Cam'ron has been working on a straight-to-video movie. "It's basically like five music videos with a plot in-between," the rapper told LAUNCH. "We also have a lot of crazy stuff in there, like me walking around Midtown Manhattan with a naked lady asking businessmen if they want to get with her. You should have seen their faces. They couldn't tell if I was serious."

Cam'ron grew up in Harlem with former Bad Boy recording artist Mase, who introduced him to the late Notorious B.I.G. He was immediately signed to Untertainment Records, which was owned by the late Notorious B.I.G. and his partner, Lance "Un" Rivera.
