Along with fellow Harlem-based player Camron, Jim Jones founded the Diplomat label, home to the Diplomats/Dipset
and many of that crew's prolific solo activities. Though more of a
businessman and behind-the-scenes figure than an MC (he was also named
a director of A&R at Warner Music Group in early 2005), Jones
released solo albums in 2004 (On My Way to Church, which hit the Top 20
upon its August release) and 2005 (Diary of a Summer). The 2006 album
Hustler's P.O.M.E. (Product of My Environment) took him out of the
background and into the spotlight thanks to the massive hit "We Fly
High." The track made it to number five on the Billboard Hot 100,
topped their Hot Rap Tracks chart, and was adopted by the New York
Giants football team as their unofficial anthem. By the end of the year
a remix of "We Fly High" landed on Jones' holiday album A Dipset Christmas. The album Harlem's American Gangster appeared in 2008, just as rumors of Jones' exit from Dipset began to spread. His other release that year, M.O.B.: The Album, introduced his Byrd Gang crew.
