Cam'ron has taken his Diplomats Record label international with the launching of Diplomat Records Europe and signing Eurogang creators S.A.S.

S.A.S is made up of East Finchley natives Sean “Mega” Williams and Melvin “Mayhem” Williams. The group linked up with the Diplomats in 2002 after a visit to the United States.

The group was affiliated with Damon Dash and that led to them being featured in a worldwide Roc-A-Wear ad campaign, but group members said they were never formally signed to Roc-A-Fella Records.

“We approached the Diplomats on the street level and we had mutual friends in Harlem,” Mayhem recounted. “We vibed on a character level, but when they realized we were talented they asked us to record songs with them in a hotel. Next thing you know we were on Top of the Pops with them when they performed ‘Hey Ma’ and the rest was history."

S.A.S, is scheduled to release their debut album, Diplomats’ Present, Streets All Salute -The Prequel Album, under the Diplomat imprint in October.

“We’re excited,” Mega stated. “We’ve always known we were this nice, it’s just that now we have a team behind us with Diplomats that people respect.”

S.A.S is scheduled to tour with the Diplomats in Europe and in the United States starting August 2005.

According to representatives, the group will travel to Canada later this month to shoot a video that will include Diplomat members Cam’ron, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones and Freaky Zeekey.
