Killa Season (film)

Killa Season is a 2006 American crime drama film produced, written and directed by Cam’ron, who stars as a rapper whose early life as a hustler in Harlem, NY is explored. It also stars Juelz Santana, Hell Rell, and Funkmaster Flex.

Overview
Cam'ron's debut into the film world chronicles a loosely autobiographical plot of his own transformation from a high school basketball star to a full-time heroin dealer. This film is based on the life of High school basketball phenom Karlton Hines. Cameron's character is named "Flea."

The film also starred Juelz Santana as "Bandana", Hell Rell as Hell, & Funkmaster Flex as Fred.

Other members of the Diplomats who made appearances in the film included 40 Cal, Un Kasa, J. R. Writer and "Chubbie Baby," who served as Flea's supplier of firearms. However, these three members played minor roles and their parts did not involve much dialogue. Jim Jones, The Diplomats co-founder, is seen only briefly in the beginning of the film. Near the end of the scene in which the Diplomats go to Atlanta, Jim Jones is blurred out but can be identified by one of his slogans.

Release
The film was released in 2006, nearly simultaneously with Cam'ron's Killa Season album. It was shown at a few theaters in New York City and is available on DVD.
