Jim Jones reveals a few of his collaborators on his upcoming project.

Jim Jones has been in go-mode for the past year and some change. While Dipset geared up for the release of their reunion project, Diplomatic Ties, Jim Jones released his project, Wasted Talent at the top of 2018. It's officially been a full year since the release of the project but Jim Jones is already plotting on the follow-up, El Capo which is set to drop next month. He took to Instagram to reveal the list of elite rappers who are set to appear on the project.

El Capo includes a few major names in the rap game. The Harlem OG revealed that he has collaborations with Rick Ross, Cam'Ron, Curren$y, Jadakiss, Dave East, Fat Joe, Benny The Butcher, Conway, Maino, Fabolous, Mozzy, and more. Many of the artists he's enlisted for the project have collaborated with him before. 

Jim Jones launched the campaign for El Capo earlier this year with the release of his single, "Cristal Occasions." This past weekend, he blessed fans with another new single for his cannabis-friendly listeners titled, "4/20" featuring the How Fly duo, Wiz Khalifa and Curren$y.

Aside from his forthcoming project, Jim Jones announced that he'd be launching a new consulting firm for artists where he'll give up-and-coming rappers tips including financial advice. With 20+ years in the game, there's no doubt that Jim Jones has plenty of knowledge to offer.
