Jim Jones confirmed the album is coming next month.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for the Diplomats reunion album. The legendary Harlem group began teasing a new project throughout the past year, but they didn't share any concrete details on when we could get it. However, it looks like this is about to change soon. Jim Jones recently revealed the title of their new project as well as when we could expect to hear it.

The Diplomats long-awaited reunion album will be coming next month. Jim Jones announced the project will be titled, Diplomatic Ties and will be released on Thanksgiving. Jones confirmed the news during The Diplomats set at A3C.

"Before we go, we wanna say something,” Jones said. “On Thanksgiving, there will be a Diplomats album dropping. It’s called Diplomatic Ties.

Jones also revealed that an accompanying documentary on Dipset will also be dropping the following week.

Last month, Jim Jones teased the tracklist to the project which has a sole feature from Belly. Hopefully, they'll share the official tracklist and a new single in the near future. 

Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Freekey Zekey and Cam'ron have been revving up to release their reunion album for a minute at this point. Over the summer, the NYC hip hop collective toured across America on the "Dipset Forever" tour. Although they didn't announce the album then, it's clear they were building the anticipation for Diplomatic Ties.
