Jim Jones Signs to Columbia, Preps New LP

After a short stint on independent label Koch Records, Diplomats rapper Jim Jones has officially signed a deal with Columbia and is preparing an upcoming album.

“It’s a 50/50 joint venture with Columbia for my production company as well, Jones Family Productions,” Jones recently told Billboard magazine.

“Shout to Rick Rubin [co-head of Columbia] for believing in my artistry and Kyambo ‘Hip-Hop’ Joshua for being my partner in this process. Shout to Koch Records as well, because I broke a lot of ground with them and they gave me my own lane.”

Jones is already working on a new album, expected to hit stores in early 2008.

Meanwhile, Jones is still serving as A&R director at Warner Music Group, and he recently started a new clothing line, Nostic, alongside his mother.

Good for jimmy...but can he rap...?? he broke all the rules..a hype man getting a deal..! haha that's like flavor flav getting a recording deal. The thing is can he do it again..and i very well doubt it. He's been on a number of records and they ain't been buzzing...he's a 1 hit wonder like mims and j-kwon..although j-kwon had a solid effort..can't front..but the hype is gone jimmy but i gotta respect the hustle.
