Capo performs new track in front of mural dedicated to his late friend Bloodshed
Jim Jones has officially prepared his response to Cam’ron’s recent remarks, and he made sure to showcase it in front of a significant Harlem landmark. On January 18, the Dipset rapper went live on Instagram, performing his diss track in front of a mural dedicated to Derek “Bloodshed” Armstead, his longtime friend, and Cam’ron’s cousin, who tragically died in a 1997 car accident. The location, East 110th Street, also holds special meaning as Cam’ron recently announced plans to film a freestyle series there.
The new track is a direct reply to comments made by Cam during a segment of his show It Is What It Is. Cam mocked Jones for admitting that Ma$e taught him how to rap, with Jones firing back on the track: “So what more you want to ask him? / You n-ggas taught me how to rap, and now I’m platinum.”
Cam also questioned Jones’ Harlem roots, which Jones addresses in his upcoming song. “Is he a Bronx, is he a Harlem n-gga?” Jones raps, adding, “Fuck all that — tell me what’s the problem, n-gga?”
The new track, titled “JOMO (Jump Off My Ayoo),” is set to drop on January 20, and will feature a remix of his Harlem-themed song “This Sh!t Still In Harlem,” with contributions from fellow Harlem rappers like Juelz Santana, Vado, Dave East, and 2gs Like Gucci. The ongoing tension between the two seems to be far from over.
