Cam'ron, Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel are among the artists featured on the Paid in Full soundtrack, due November 5th. The soundtrack is just one piece of the Paid in Full puzzle. The movie, due October 25th, is set in the 1980s and based on three real life Harlem drug kingpins: played by Cam'ron, Mekhi Phifer (O) and Wood Harris (Remember the Titans). Charles Stone III, famous for his Budweiser "Whassah" ads, makes his directorial debut.

Other artists on the soundtrack include Roc-a-Fella artists Freeway, Diplomats, Kanye West. Tracks from Eric B. and Rakim, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Slick Rick, Phil Collins and Guy are also on the soundtrack.

Finally, the film has also spurred a tour by the same name. Cam'ron, N.O.R.E. and M.O.P. kick off a string of dates tomorrow in Atlanta.
