The NY rapper has been working on his next release, "El Capo."

As 4/20 is upon us, artists are rolling out projects that Mary Jane fans can roll up to. Jim Jones is steadily preparing his El Capo project for release, and until that time comes, the New York rapper has dropped off a new track for fans aptly titled "4/20." Jones links up with 2009 collaborators, and fellow weed aficionados, Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y. The track oozes NYC and streetwise hip hop with a production by The Heatmakersz.

The Dipset affiliate isn't the only one in this trio to drop music today, as Wiz released his 4/20-friendly mixtapeFly Times Vol. 1: The Good Fly YoungCurren$y makes an appearance with Wiz, too, on Khalifa's song "Real As You Think" with Problem. Meanwhile, back in January, Jim gave fans a sneak peek to his forthcoming El Capo record as he shared clips of himself in the studio with The Heatmakers on social media.

Quotable Lyrics

It's 4/20 n*gga light it up
It's a celebration put your lighters up
Roll another one before the flight is up
I smoke in public so police gon' have to write us up
