Cacophonous and festive, the third installment of Cam’ron’s *1st of the Month* series is a return to the bracing anthems of Dipset’s mid-\'00s peak. With its shuddering sample, “Back on Our B\*\*\*\*\*\*t” grabs listeners by the collar and delivers its lines as a series of punches to the nose. The lyrics are a swirl of drugs, guns, and Kanye West disses. The joy of the album is that Cam has reached a point in his career where he feels free to channel the unfiltered energy of street life without politicking to the music industry.
