Cam'ron is back -- not with an album -- but with a rapper-inspired air freshener. Cam'ron emerged in the late 1990s and played a prominent role in hip hop in the early 2000s. Air freshener company 'Hangin' With the Homies' immortalizes the hip hop icon. Cam'ron is no stranger to merchandising his image, as he previously released socks, pillows, shower curtains, Mother's Day cards and even ebola masks. The Harlem rapper, also known as 'Killa Cam' used his strong lyrical ability, along with his 'Dipset' rap group to gain notoriety in the genre.
The rapper-inspired air freshener uses a grape scent influenced by Cam'ron's 'Purple Haze' album from 2004. The 'Cam'ron' brand gets a lot of exposure online and now you can join in on the fun by hanging this on your car window.
