Jim Jones dropped by Columbia

There has been a lot of speculation for quite some time on the status of Harlem rapper Jim JOnes and his Columbia Records situation. Recently it has become official that the label released him after just one sub-par release. BUT, like a true hustler he does not have his hand in one pot waiting on one hustle. He is Vice President of Urban A&R for E1 Music also known as Koch. He signed a deal to release his upcoming record with Koch Records. Check out a little bit of what Jim had to say about his situation at Koch,

"The A&R gig is really good," Jones said in an interview. "We've got a lot going on over there. I've got a new artist called Dorrough. His songs are doing pretty good across the country. Webstar did a duet album with me that's got 'Dancing On Me.' D-Block just dropped an album. Shout out to [DJ] Khaled too. They've got a strong roster. They recognize all the money I've made them and all of the moves I've made throughout the years over the course of our relationship. They understand the way I have to work. Freedom is definitely a must for me to get the best quality of product that's usually a hit...I'm starting to prepare to record the next album." (courtesy of dimewars)
