Released in 1998, Confessions of Fire is the debut album from Cam’Ron. Mostly produced by Cam’s friend, Darrell “Digga” Branch, this album clearly has that late-90s sound that was oh-so popular with Puffy and his Bad Boy clique. You may remember Cam’s first single off this album, “Horse and Carriage”, which was highly overshadowed by Mase. Swizz Beatz also gave a couple of tracks; most notably the “Magnum P.I.”-sampled “Glory”. One track that didn’t make Confessions of Fire (which I wish did) was “Pull It” with DMX. Ironically, the track didn’t make it due to sample clearance issues. Well, we’ve included that sample with this set.

Cam showed he has/had talent (imo) on this release, but it was uneven for me. The “street” tracks were great (conceptually) and some of the “commercial” tracks were good as well (I can’t front on the “Feels Good”). I like Cam, but his solo career has always been uneven for me.
“Pull It”, “D Rugs”, “Prophecy”, “357”, “Who’s Nice” are the standout tracks on the proper release.
hey kev, i have the track you’re missing, i’ll post it to you
“Instant Love” by Main Ingredient

Arthur-
The “Instant Love” should be in the set already? I hope I included.

Thanks thomas
LOL, yeah it’s included. Thanks though Arthur. I guess people are used to seeing an astrix next to tracks that are missing from the set.
