Jim Jones isn’t letting bygones be bygones with Cam’ron. During an early morning Instagram Live session on January 18, in front of a mural dedicated to the late Derek “Bloodshed” Armstead, Jones gave fans a taste of his new diss track aimed directly at Cam’ron.

The mural, located on East 110th Street, holds deep meaning for both artists. Bloodshed, a member of the Harlem rap group Children of the Corn, was Cam’ron’s cousin and a close friend to Jones. He tragically passed away in 1997 but left a lasting impact on the hip-hop community, especially in Harlem.

Jones’s tribute performance wasn’t just about remembering their friend but marking a fresh chapter in his ongoing feud with Cam’ron. The tension between them has heightened following comments Cam’ron made about Jones on his show ‘It Is What It Is.’ Cam’ron mocked Jones’s admission that Ma$e taught him how to rap, and Jones isn’t taking it lightly.

In his upcoming track ‘JOMO (Jump Off My Ayoo),’ Jones turns the criticism around, proudly declaring his platinum status despite Cam’s jibes. The song’s title references a nickname Cam used for Jones during his show’s monologue, adding an extra layer of personal retaliation.

The choice of location for this track preview isn’t a coincidence. It’s a nod to their shared history and underscores Harlem’s deep-rooted hip-hop heritage, which both artists have significantly contributed to.

Adding fuel to the fire, Cam’ron announced plans to record a freestyle series at the same Bloodshed mural, making it clear that the battle lines are drawn. Meanwhile, Jones is also gearing up to release a remix of ‘This Sh!t Still in Harlem,’ featuring local stars like Juelz Santana and Vado.

This musical back-and-forth has reignited interest in Harlem’s vibrant hip-hop scene, bringing both veteran artists back into the spotlight.

As both artists prepare to drop their new tracks, the hip-hop world watches closely. This isn’t just a clash of personalities; it’s a celebration of Harlem’s enduring influence on music. How this battle unfolds could shape the narrative for years to come.
