Cam'ron heads to Colombia for his new music video for "Medellin." The rapper's latest visual takes a cut from his latest project Purple Haze 2 and brings it to life. The rapper's new video was shot at the estate of Pablo Escobar which is now a museum. Cam posts up with Roberto Escobar, a co-founder of the Medellin Cartel, who sings his praises at the beginning of the video.

"He showed us a bunch of hospitality, a bunch of love," Cam told Complex about meeting Roberto Escobar. "We had a scene to shoot at his house. Then we went to Pablo Escobar's house—they turned it to a museum—and gave us a bunch of gifts before we left. He treated us really well. To be honest, it didn't really sink in until I left: "Oh shit. We just was really at Pablo Escobar's house with Roberto Escobar."
