(4/1/02, 3 p.m. ET) -- Harlem-based rapper Cam'ron is presently putting the finishing touches on his third solo album, Come Home With Me, which is due out in May. The first single from the set, "Oh Boy" featuring Juelz Santana, is presently Number 43 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. The song, which was produced by Just Blaze, is currently picking up steam at urban radio.

In addition to Come Home With Me, Cam'ron has a starring role in the Charles Stone III-directed movie, Paid In Full. The movie is loosely based on the lives of Harlem drug lords Rich Porter, AZ, and Alpo. The film also stars Mekhi Phifer, Chi McBride, Elise Neal, Esai Morales, and Regina Hall. Paid In Full is scheduled to hit theaters in September.

Cam'ron released his gold-certified debut set, Confessions Of Fire, in 1998. The rapper released the follow-up, S.D.E. (Sports, Drugs & Entertainment), in 2000.
