An affiliate of
Cam'ron and his
Dipset crew, Harlem rapper
Vado kicked off his career as Movado, but changed his name to avoid any confusion with the reggae artist. Claiming it as an acronym that stood for "Violence and Drugs Only,"
Vado first recorded with
Jae Millz before joining
Cam'ron's splinter group U.N. in 2009. A year later, he landed on
DJ Khaled's album
We the Best Forever while 2011 saw the release of
Gunz n' Butta, a collaborative effort from
Vado and
Cam'ron. In 2013 he signed with
DJ Khaled's We the Best label and released the single "Look Me in My Eyes" with special guests
Rick Ross and
French Montana. His debut EP, Sinatra, followed in 2014. ~ David Jeffries
