Many fans pulled up to the set, as Rozay and the Philly star seemed to bring out the whole neighborhood with help from the Dipset rep.

Rick Ross and Meek Mill's new single "Shaq & Kobe" is a triumphant and fitting return to the studio for the frequent collaborators, and they're looking to fully capitalize on it. Moreover, the duo were recently spotted in Harlem for the song's music video, which apparently brought out the whole neighborhood. Not only that, but the two rappers actually got help from a hip-hop hometown hero in the area: none other than Jim Jones of Dipset. On Wednesday (September 28), it was clear that everyone in attendance had a lot of fun. Following social media coverage of it, Capo took to Instagram with a clip of his own.

"Fly s**t only," Jim Jones remarked of Rick Ross and Meek Mill's upcoming visuals in the video. "Rich n***a s**t you heard? And Ross in the middle of Harlem. He on that no-fear block. 12th Street. Outside." In addition, there's a pretty funny clip roaming around the Internet of Rozay dancing with a woman on set. The crowd loved the energy, from what the snippet indicates, and the Harlem MC continued his praises in his post's caption.
