The “Dipset Anthem” producer sat down with us recently to discuss the impact of Diplomatic Immunity, as well as his contributions to the movement known as Dipset.
“Diplomatic Immunity” was originally released March 25th, 2003.
The Harlem collective provided the game with 27 tracks of classic Hip Hop, overflowing with immense replay value. Cam’ron, alongside then newcomer Juelz Santana and Jim Jones, showcased their lyrical prowess over a score of production. Renowned producers such as Kanye West, Just Blaze, and DR Period showcased phenomenonal work on the dual disc project.
Aside from the heavyweights recruited for the project, the bulk of the album’s sound fell upon the shoulders of Rsonist and The Heatmakerz. The Bronx duo managed to land eleven records on the compilation. One of their standout records, “Dipset Anthem”, was championed as the lead single.
Records such as “I’m Ready”, “This Is What I Do”, “DJ Enuff Freestyle”, “Purple Haze”, and many more solidified both Heatmakerz and The Diplomats place amongst the greatest to ever do it in their respective crafts.
The album is highly regarded within the Hip Hop community as a timestamp in an era overpopulated with a plethora of quality acts.
On behalf of TheFactsRemain.com, Best Of Both Offices, Diamond District Studios, and The Heatmakerz, we hope you enjoy this twelve part presentation.
