For those of you who don't know him, rapper Joseph Guillermo JONES II, aka Jim Jones is a member of the Diplomats, a Harlem based group that successfully made the progression from clique to group to record company. The group consists of Cam'ron, Juelz Santana, Freeky Zeeky and Jimmy himself. Though the group, just like many other famous ones in the past, has gone through some stormy times, they[luckily for us] are[back] still working together.Jones is actually the CEO of Diplomats Records and has been directing videos for various artists in the past. Many people who aren't from Harlem don't realize that Dipset and Jimmy in particular are involved in an array of activities. Jones actually has a freestyle in line skating team[Dipskate} that will soon be competing in at the X Games. Also, along with his childhood Friend, and former Rocafella Records boss Dame Dash, Jones started and is managing Splash Records.
His highly anticipated 5th album, entitled Capo is scheduled to be out April 5th. The cover for the LP shows Jimmmy progression and maturity throughout his career. The majority of his past covers showed a "pose-for-the-camera" Jones, typically with a scruffy beard and barely holding braids. This time he came up with a photo, slick braids on his head, head turned to the side as if he was contemplating the path he followed to become CAPO. Be on the lookout for the album. Go!
