Purple Haze is the fourth studio album by Harlem rapper Cam'ron. It was released on December 7, 2004. The release of this album was delayed several times from November 2003, the first single "Get Em Girls" was released a year prior to the actual album release. The album was poorly promoted by Roc-A-Fella Records, and due to the lack of promotion Cam'ron asked to be released from the label. The album was certified Gold by the RIAA.
