DJ Cipha Sounds revealed that Biggie Smalls signed Cam’ron before he went off to form The Diplomats.
“Now the first time I met Cam’ron, I was on tour with Lil Kim. Now I don’t know if y’all know this, but I used to DJ for Lil’ Kim. So Cam’ron was signed to Untertainment, under Lance’ Un’ Rivera. Now Lance’ Un’ Rivera was Biggie’s partner in Junior M.A.F.I.A,” he said from his basement.
“Biggie and Lance’ Un’ Rivera, we used to call him Un — Biggie and Un’s label was called Undeas,” he stated.
“Mase brought Cam’ron to Biggie and then Biggie asked him to write some rhymes for Lil cease. If you remember, ‘Crush On You,’ on Lil Kim’s album was a Cease solo record. It’s not credited, but this verse is written by Cam’ron. Biggie on the hook and then the song got so popular off the album that they had to make a Lil’ Kim version and put it out as a single. Lil’ Kim wasn’t even on the original. That sounds like Cam’ron man. He was signed to Biggie’s label, Cam’ron, Mase brought him over there. These are little lessons in my Hip Hop basement, Cipha Sounds.”
