Killa Season is a 2006 direct to video film about a basketball player happy with his life as a hustler.
[edit] 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 cocaine dealer. Cam'ron's character is named "Flea."
The movie also starred Juelz Santana as "Bandana" and Hell Rell as himself.
Other members of the Diplomats who made appearances in the film included 40 Cal, 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. Oddly, Jim Jones, The Diplomats co-founder, is seen only briefly in the beginning of the film. However, 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.
The movie was released in 2006, nearly simultaneously with the Killa Season album. It was shown at very select theaters in New York City and is available on DVD.
One notable scene from the movie involves (female) Colombian drug mules defecating onto newspaper in an abandoned apartment. They are then made to clean off the "fingers" of heroin they've smuggled in. Flea is told by his drug distributor Gordo that he needs to watch this in person in order to assure him that he is not tampering with the heroin.
