Jim JonesĀ hasĀ become one of the rap game’s most consistent rappers with an ever-evolving pen and a keen ear for quality. Capo is also equally known forĀ his full-steam-ahead approach toĀ controversy.
On the release day for his new album,Ā At the Church Steps, the Bronx-born, Harlem-bred MC speaks withĀ XXLĀ about howĀ the LP relates to his 20-year journey in hip-hop, his very publicĀ beef with Cam’ron and Ma$eĀ and much more.
“It’s up there with the first one as a matter of fact,” Jones tellsĀ XXLĀ in the video below. “You know, the first one is your rawest album. That’s your first bit of gettin’ out the street or whatever your circumstances was.Ā
But lately, whatever’s been going on in the media, or whatever y’all be seeing, has a lot to do with the beginning of my journey. It’s like a full-circle moment, in a way, when it comes to the music and the sound of the music.”
Despite the on-again beef with Cam’ron, which often finds Killa diminishing Jim Jones’ pivotal role in establishing the legacy of The Diplomats, Jimmy delves into his opinion on why Cam’s words should be a lesson in futility.
