Jim Jones Preps Release of Harlem’s American Gangster



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.
