Come Home with Me is the third studio album by Harlem rapper Cam'ron, it is also his debut on Roc-A-Fella Records. It served as an introduction of the Cam'ron-fronted rap group, The Diplomats, to the general public. There are featured guest appearances from The Diplomats, DJ Kay Slay, Daz Dillinger, Tiffany, Jay-Z, McGruff, Memphis Bleek, and Beanie Sigel. To date, it is his most commercially successful album, moving over 1 million copies and being certified platinum by the RIAA. It's two hits were "Oh Boy" (featuring Juelz Santana) and "Hey Ma" (featuring Juelz Santana, Freekey Zekey, and DJ Kay Slay). "Oh Boy" held the number one spot on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles for five straight weeks, the number one spot on the Hot Rap Tracks and peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. The second hit was "Hey Ma", which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on the UK Singles Chart, becoming his biggest hit. "Daydreaming" was a later single released in 2003. It failed to reach as much success as his earlier singles, however. The song "Welcome to New York City", featuring labelmate and then-ally Jay-Z, was the theme for True Crime: New York City. It sold over 226,000 copies in the first week of release.

Notes

1. Cam'ron's young protégé, Juelz Santana, appears on both lead singles off the album.
2. Toya is not publicly credited for Hey Ma, but is credited for the remix.
3. Live My Life (Leave Me Alone) contains the same beat as Tupac's "Ambitionz Az a Ridah"
4. The beat for I Just Wanna was re-made by producer/rapper Danny! for his 2007 instrumental album Dream, Fulfilled.
5. Welcome to New York City is featured in the game "True Crime: New York City"
6. The album's platinum status would later be referenced to by Jay-Z in the middle of the "beef" between him and Cam'ron; on "Dig a Hole" (featuring Sterling Simms) from his album Kingdom Come, Jay-Z raps, "You sell in the low 2's, only time you went plat/My chain was around your neck, that's an actual fact."
7. Come Home With Me was a beat that Rsonist of The Heatmakerz first produced for Ghostface Killah's 2001 album Bulletproof Wallets on the song "Ice (Interlude)".
