Jim Jones Drops Visuals For “We Set The Trends” (Remix) Feat. Lil Wayne, Migos, DJ Khaled & Juelz Santana
Jim Jones has gathered Lil Wayne, Migos, DJ Khaled, and Juelz Santana for the official remix of “We Set The Trends.”
Directed by Shila The Don, Jim Jones, Will C and Denity, Khaled is seen chilling in his classic, white maybach claiming no one believed in us, but God did! Lil Wayne starts off his first verse spitting iconic bars, per usual. The superstars all stand around in the cypher, rhyming over the horns melody. Juelz Santana then enters the scene on a rooftop with Jones with the global Diplomats logo covering the ground. Santana says “Gave them a head start now I’m shaving the distance, need mine with interest to be more specific,” dripped out in the most fashionable way, harlem-style.
Jim Jones & DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz We Set The Trends was released on January 14th, distributed through #VLrecords EMPIRE. The project marks the duo’s first collaboration since 2006’s The Seven Day Theory.

Today In Hip Hop History: The Diplomats Released Their Debut Album ‘Diplomatic Immunity’ 19 Years Ago
On this date in 2003, Cam’ron’s crew from Harlem, The Diplomats, dropped their debut album Diplomatic Immunity on the Roc A Fella Records/Def Jam imprint during the pivotal time when Dame Dash appointed Cam’ron as the President of Roc-A-Fella Records.
Coming on the heels of the release of Cam’s Come Home With Me LP, Diplomatic Immunity introduced the entire Dipset squad including Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Freekey Zeekey, Un Kasa, and Hell Rell, who was incarcerated by the time the album was available for purchase. With production from the likes of Heatmakerz, DR Period, and a then virtually unknown Kanye West, the trailblazing sound of old soul samples pushed Dipset to the forefront of the creative curve of Hip Hop, which offered the Blood-affiliated crew from Uptown an almost cult-like following.
The album was saturated with longstanding hits such as “I Really Mean It”, the infectious “Dipset Anthem”, the female-friendly “Hey Ma” and the Master P assisted “Bout It Bout It…Part III”. Commercially, the album was considered average debuting at #8 on the Billboard 200 and selling 92,000 copies in its first week, but the album was certified Gold by the RIAA in 2005.
Salute to Cam, Juelz on the inside, Jim Jones, Freekey and Hell Rell for this classic piece of Hip Hop history!
