HARLEM, NY, Jan 28 (MARKET WIRE) --
The wait is over, as hip hop superstar Jim Jones kicks off the New Year with a
brand new mixtape, "Harlem's American Gangster" on KOCH Records, which hits
streets on February 19th, 2008. The mixtape is hosted by Dame Dash and
features the entire Byrdgang crew.
Jim Jones is currently recording a new album which will be released later
this
summer via Columbia/KOCH, but fans won't have to wait that long to hear new
Jim Jones music.
Jones' latest album, "Hustler's P.O.M.E. (Product of My Environment)," was
released in 2006 and became a monster hit, selling over 500,000 copies and
included the feel good anthem and Jim's signature song, "We Fly High," which has
sold over 3.5 million digital and ringtone units combined.
"Harlem's American Gangtser" was previously available on a limited basis,
but
the mixtape has been completely remixed/re-mastered and also features new songs,
including the track "Rockefeller Laws." When asked about this latest
inspiration, Jones had this to say, "Some people do soundtracks to the
movies about Harlem, we do soundtracks to the streets of Harlem, which made us
who we are today. Hustlers are some of the flyest people the world has ever set
their eyes on."
The first single "Love Me No More" is at urban radio now and a video for the
single will be shot shortly. It will be once again co-directed by Jim Jones
and RAGE, who also directed the smash videos for "We Fly High" and the "We
Fly High" REMIX.
