Jim Jones Says He & Cam’ron Don’t See “Eye To Eye”

by

Jim Jones and Cam’ron haven’t necessarily been spotted together in recent times, though it seemed like it was largely due to their busy schedules. Cam’ron’s expanding the Flee Farm brand with endeavors in cannabis and his all-natural male supplement, Pink Horse Power. Meanwhile, Jim Jones has been delivering some of the best music in his career over the past few years with projects like El Chapo, Wasted Talent, and Back In My Prime with Hitmaka which he released over this weekend.

Back In My Prime not only showcases Jim Jones’ versatility, especially when it comes to crafting hits, but he also dives into some personal matters. On “Status Update,” for example, he sheds light on some issues weighing on him including his friendship with Cam’ron. Though the two recently appeared together at Drake’s Apollo Theatre show with the rest of Dipset, Jones admitted that they aren’t seeing “eye to eye” lately. “And it’s hard for me & Cam to see eye-to-eye/ I love him, I still love him but when I see him it’s like hi & bye,” he raps. “It’s kinda crazy, I thought it was ride or die.”

Jim Jones & Cam’ron’s Fractured Relationship

Though Jim Jones and Cam’ron’s relationship hasn’t deteriorated completely, as it once was, he said during an interview in Feb. 2022 that he and Cam’ron hadn’t talked or seen each other since Verzuz in August 2021. He didn’t say that there were any issues. However, he explained that he had to offer Cam his own earnings from Verzuz to get him to agree to appear at the face-off against The Lox. “Cam don’t care about too much, he makes money and that’s what he cares about,” Jones admitted.

However, years prior, Cam’ron said that Dipset was officially over in the midst of his feud with Jim Jones. The “We Fly High” rapper appeared on Funk Flex where he shed tears when asked about the sacrifices he made for Cam’ron and Dipset. Cam later addressed his comments and downplayed Jim’s overall feelings. Eventually, they buried the hatchet to reunite as Dipset before unveiling their 2018 EP, Diplomatic Ties. Still, the two recently worked together on Cam’ron’s U Wasn’t There EP on the single, “Think Boy” alongside Styles P. 

Jim Jones & Hitmaka Lock In With Stefflon Don On “I Am”

Jim Jones and Hitmaka are gearing up for their highly anticipated project, Back In My Prime. Jones began teasing the project as early as 2021 when he revealed that he had nearly a dozen projects in the cut. At the time, he intended to drop each project month after month and flood the rap game with quality music. However, things wound up changing but we still received an influx of music, from projects like We Set The Trends to his recent Christmas project featuring many of his artists.

With the new year, Jones and Hitmaka are finally ready to share their upcoming project with the world. It seems as though it’ll also provide Jones with an excellent opportunity to showcase his versatility with records. Though projects like Wasted Talent and El Capo reminded fans of how great of a lyricist he is, what we’ve heard from Back In My Prime showcases his ability to pen hit records. It was as evident as the BEAM-assisted, “Gunshots,” which sampled KRS-One.

Jim Jones x Hitmaka – “I Am” ft. Stefflon Don

Following the release of “Seen The Money,” which features a prominent Alicia Keys sample, Jim Jones is back at it with his latest record “I AM.” This time, he connects with Stefflon Don for a crossover hit. Stefflon’s harmonies grace the hook while Jones comes through with a record for the ladies. The song boasts production from Hitmaka, Boogz, and Cardiak for a breezy anthem that undoubtedly has us excited for the upcoming Back In My Prime album.

Jones has been quite excited for the release of his new single with Stefflon Don. During our interview with him in December, he said that he felt this could be one of records to really make a mark. “The Hitmaka project is coming at the top of the year,” he said. “It’s an incredible project fully produced by Hitmaka. I’m excited, man. I got a record with Stefflon Don that I think could be a very big record.” Check the single above.

Quotable Lyrics
Fast forward, I put more water on your neck than a Pisces 
That ass so fat in them thongs, I know you wear that to entice me 
But the question is, who gon’ be there when the chips is down 
Pick you up in that fly whip, just to dick you down

Jim Jones & Hitmaka Are Back At It On “Seen The Money”

by

Jim Jones and Hitmaka have been teasing a new project for a minute. In fact, Jones admitted that he had over 10 projects that he was working on simultaneously with his joint effort with Hitmaka among them. The Dipset rapper’s been on an incredible run over the past few years, from projects like El Capo and Wasted Talent to his 2022 mixtape, We Set The Trends with DJ Drama. Most recently, he came through with his latest Christmas album, Jim Jones Presents: 12 Days Of Christmas. However, it appears that he’s gearing up to make a bigger splash this year.

This week, Jim Jones and Hitmaka confirmed that their joint project, Back In My Prime was set to drop. Of course, the title is a play on the infamous situation surrounding an alleged altercation at Prime 112 in Miami. Though they initially revealed the project to be titled Prime 112, Jim Jones said that wasn’t the case. However, they began unveiling the project last year with the release of “Gunshot” ft. BEAM.

Jim Jones & Hitmaka – Seen The Money

Jim Jones and Hitmaka are officially in that zone ahead of their forthcoming project, Back In My Prime. With the project slated to drop later this spring, they unloaded the latest single off of the project, “Seen The Money.” It seems that Hitmaka is truly tapping into Jones’ taste in music through samples. While “Gunshot” sampled KRS-One, “Seen The Money” finds the Dipset rapper laying down bars over a sample of Alicia Keys’s “You Don’t Know My Name.”

Jones continues to shine his lyrical abilities while providing flashes of his luxurious lifestyle. He further emphasizes this with the official music video that showcases the rapper with wads of cash and yachty-cruising with an abundance of bottles on deck. Check the single out below and sound off with your thoughts on Jones and Hitmaka’s new single.

Quotable Lyrics
We jumping out of Ferraris and private jets without a suitcase,
‘Cause we shop when we land, we got no top on the Lamb,
Hood n***a, all white Airs with no socks in the sand
I used to play with the keys, but the locks didn’t jam
