40 Cal

Dipset rapper 40 Cal drew notice in 2006 after a man accidentally shot his friend with a 40 cal while listening to the 40 Cal song "40 Cal." The incident hasn't fazed the emcee, though he does apologize on "Do It Again" for the album's tardiness, explaining that he was "getting paid." Like a true Diplomat, he's best when cracking marginally funny jokes (threatening to make a "Dip citizen arrest") over semi-obscure '80s tracks ("Keep on Movin'" samples Soul II Soul), straining strings ("We Go Hard") and rickety soul production ("Overdose").
