WARREN, N.J. and NEW YORK, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Virgin Mobile USA and Warner Music Group's (NYSE:WMG) Asylum Records, in association with Diplomatic Man Records, announced today that hip-hop iconoclast Cam'ron is the latest to join Virgin Mobile's popular First Dibs line-up.

Virgin Mobile customers can now experience 15 exclusive ringtones like "Get Ya Gun," "He Tried to Play Me" and "Love My Life" -- all part of the artist's latest album and DVD titled "Killa Season."

"Cam'ron has undoubtedly put his own unique stamp on the world of hip-hop," said Dominick Tolli, vice president of product management and development for Virgin Mobile USA. "We expect our customers will see him as another powerful addition to a long list of heavy-hitting First Dibs artists."

Virgin Mobile customers also have access to one non-exclusive ringtone from the album, "Touch it Or Not," as well as five exclusive wallpaper designs, featuring Cam'ron himself.

Top-Up for Summer -- and All Year Long!
