40 Cal to release "Broken Safety 2" 2007-07-26 17:20:48 40 Cal., a member of Harlem-based group The Diplomats (aka Dipset), first appeared with the self-titled theme song “40 Cal.” on the Dipset album Diplomatic Immunity, Vol. 2 (2004).

Beginning in 2006, he stepped up his exposure, releasing mixtapes to be sold nationally such as Broken Safety for Cleopatra Records. 40 holds mo ...
