Confessions of Fire: Original Samples

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.
