Jim Jones has finally dropped his Camâron diss track âJomo,â firing back at his former groupmateâs recent rant.
While the two have had a tense relationship for almost 20 years now and have exchanged barbs in the media in recent weeks, âJomoâ marks the first time that this iteration of the beef has been taken to the booth. On the track, which features thumping, soulful production from Statik Selaktah and Termanology, Jones reminds those playing with his name that heâs a street-hardened soldier.
Jim Jones had previously performed a snippet of âJomoâ in front of a Harlem mural that pays tribute to his late friend Derek âBloodshedâ Armstead, who is also Camâronâs cousin. Bloodshed was a member of the group Children of the Corn, which was originally made up of him, Cam, Ma$e and Darrell âDiggaâ Branch. The renewed friction between the former Diplomats was sparked by Camâronâs interview with 50 Cent late last year, in which they discussed Jones betraying Cam by performing with the G-Unit boss back in 2007. He also claimed that he was responsible for Killa Cam wearing his trademark pink outfits and that Cam was mistreated by his âso-called best friendâ Ma$e when his career took off under Diddyâs Bad Boy Records in the 1990s.
That prompted Camâron to launch into an explosive and lengthy rant on his sports talk show It Is What It Is, in which he downplayed Jonesâ claim to Harlem and contributions to Dipset, as well as his street crediblity.
