Jim Jones Preps Release of Harlem’s American Gangster

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  29 Comments

Jim Jones is set to officially release his latest mixtape, Harlem’s American Gangster through Koch Records on February 19. The release is hosted by Dame Dash and features appearances by all of the Capo’s Byrdgang crew. The mixtape was previously available at select locations, but this new version has been completely remixed and mastered and will include three new songs. One of the new tracks is “Rockefeller Laws” in which Jimmy rails against New York State’s controversial mandatory drug sentencing guidelines. The project is intended to hold fans over until Jimmy’s next official LP drops later this year on Columbia/Koch. “Some people do soundtracks to the movies about Harlem, we do soundtracks to the streets of Harlem, which made us who we are today,” Jim said of the mixtape. “Hustlers are some of the flyest people the world has ever set their eyes on.” A video for the first single from Harlem’s American Gangster, “Love Me No More,” will be shot shortly and will be co-directed by Jones and RAGE.

    OK, who (other than fake gangbangers and most people under 21) is going to be checking for this? Jim Jones as a whole is wack. It’s cool that he’s going against the Rockefeller laws, but it’ll probably be surrounded by a bunch of exaggerated escapist songs about money and slinging crack.

  • Fireforreal

    I wouldn’t cop that shit if it was executive produced by Jay-z himself.Jim is mad presistant I give him that but he is one of the worst rappers of all time.But his beats are dope.

    I’m surpise Jim knows about the Rockerfeller Drug Laws. I ‘d probably ITUNE one of the tracks he does assemble some catchy beats.
