Before the music, they bonded over shrimp—Killa shrimp, to be precise—seasoned to perfection by “Killa” Cameron Giles as a way of welcoming his new friend, Alain “A-Trak” Macklovitch, to his home. Exactly how did this odd couple end up together in the ’burbs of New Jersey, feasting on Killa shrimp? Well, it turns out that Cam’ron and A-Trak have a lot in common. Both are highly creative artists and disarmingly polite men who share an unwavering belief that Cam’ron is the best rapper of his generation. And—most important—they have a mutual friend in Damon Dash, Ultimate Hustler™. So when A-Trak hit up his old acquaintance Dame in an effort to get Cam for a song, the wheels for the Federal Reserve EP quickly went into motion. Dame, being the world’s most renowned Cam Whisperer (with apologies to Miss Info), got into his old buddy’s ear and convinced him that A-Trak’s idea for a song had greater potential as a full project. Fool’s Gold. Dipset. Festivals. Merch. Synergy! Or, as Dame puts it, understated as ever: “It’s that kind of magic where two serious legends that are ridiculously good at what they do come together.”
