In 2004 he released his first solo album On My Way to Church .

A year later he was on his third album which spawned his biggest single to date "We Fly High". In 2006 he formed his own rap group, ByrdGang. He also has his own freestyle skateboarding team, Dip Skate, which he plans to take to the X Games in the near future. Jim Jones has recently partnered with Damon Dash to form Splash Records.
Early life
Jim Jones is from the Tremont section of Bronx but raised in Harlem and is of Puerto Rican and Aruban descent. In an essay for Fader magazine, he stated that his mother would allow him to ride the train from their residence at 176th and Jerome Avenue to 110th Street and Lexington Avenue. He attended Catholic school but later began cutting church to loiter and play hooky at the train station. As a young boy he used to skate which inspired him to create Dip Skate, his freestyle skateboarding team.
Music career
With Cam'ron breaking out first Jones was in the background as his hypeman. Soon they would form The Diplomats along with Juelz Santana.
2004: On My Way to Church
On My Way to Church is Jones' debut album. The album spawned two singles that made the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart: "Certified Gangstas" (featuring Cam'ron, Bezel and The Game), which reached at #80, and "Crunk Muzik" (featuring his Dipset group members Cam'ron and Juelz Santana), which reached #84. The album peaked at #18 on the Billboard 200 chart, #3 on Billboard' s Independent Albums chart, and #4 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
2005: Harlem: Diary of a Summer
Harlem: Diary of a Summer is Jones' second album. It reached number 5 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Independent Albums charts. It had three singles that were listed on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop chart: "Baby Girl", which reached #58; "Summer Wit' Miami", which reached #78; and "What You Been Drankin' On?" (featuring Diddy, Paul Wall, and Jha Jha), which reached #106.
2006–08: Hustler's P.O.M.E. (Product of My Environment)
Hustler's P.O.M.E. (Product of My Environment) is Jim Jones' third album. This album was more commercial and once again featured Dipset members along with Lil Wayne. The album spawned his biggest single to date, "We Fly High". In the music video of 2006 hit "We Fly High", Jones started a signature dance move of throwing up a fake jump shot every time the ad-lib "Ballin!'" was stated in the song. This dance move became so popular that it inspired Michael Strahan and Plaxico Burress to do the dance move after big plays during a Monday Night Football game in 2006. The album has been certified gold.
From 2006 to 2008, Jones released a collaborative album with his rap group ByrdGang entitled M.O.B.: The Album , two Christmas compilation albums, A Dipset X-Mas and A Tribute To Bad Santa Starring Mike Epps and a load of mixtapes including Harlem's American Gangster which peaked at number 19 on the Billboard 200 chart and spawned his single "Love Me No More".
2009–present: Pray IV Reign - The Rooftop
Pray IV Reign is Jim Jones' fourth album. It was released March 24, 2009. The album peaked at #9 on the Billboard 200 chart. On July 8, Jones released a promotional single entitled "The Good Stuff" featuring NOE The album features "Pop Champagne" which is also going to be featured on Ron Browz album as well. A bonus track on the album is "Jackin' Swagga From Us" with Twista, Noe and Lil Wayne which takes shots at T.I. and Jay-Z for allegedly stealing their styles and mocking their song "Swagga Like Us". It is his first solo album under Columbia Records. Along with releasing the album Jim Jones is doing an off-Broadway musical called Hip-Hop Monologues: Inside the Life and Mind of Jim Jones . In 2009 Jim Jones became Vice President of Urban A&R at Koch Records which is now E1 Music.
On June 11, Jim Jones appeared on 106 & Park along with DJ Webstar and announced that they will be releasing an album together entitled The Rooftop . He also announced that his documentary, This Is Jim Jones , will be released June 30, 2009. The first single off the album is "Dancin on Me", featuring Juelz Santana. It was officially released via iTunes, April 28. On September 22, hip hop website RapRuckus stated the album is scheduled for an October 6, 2009 release. The second single is titled "She Can Get It".
In late 2009 Jones left Columbia. According to XXLMag.com, Jones has signed a deal to release his next solo album on E1, as well as a mixtape.
Controversy
Tru-Life
According to an interview with Tru-Life in the June/July 2006 issue of Complex Magazine , rumors had spread that Tru-Life was referring to Jim Jones in his diss song "New New York". Jim Jones reportedly began calling several rappers and telling them that he had a DVD of Tru-Life dissing them. Tru-Life responded by calling Dipset Boss Cam'ron "a bitch."
Jones responded by challenging Tru-Life to a brawl with US$50,000 at stake. Months later, Jones told an interviewer that Tru-Life did not respond to the challenge, doesn't count in the rap industry, and lacked the money and heart to accept Jones' challenge.
The argument continued into 2007, when Tru-Life released his DJ J-Love hosted mixtape entitled Tru York with Dipset diss tracks and whose cover superimposes an image of Jim Jones' face over a swimsuit-clad Borat picture.
Jay-Z
Jones' dispute with Tru-Life may have stemmed from a dispute between Cam'ron and Jay-Z, as Tru-Life was signed to Jay-Z's Roc-La-Familia label at the time. Jim Jones has also dissed Jay-Z's performance as president of Def Jam Recordings.
Jay-Z has since responded with a diss track called "Brooklyn High" over the beat from Jones's "We Fly High". On December 1, 2006, BET's Access Granted debuted the video for Jones's "We Fly High" remix, with Diddy, Baby, T.I., Young Dro, and added Juelz Santana's verse from his response on the "We Fly High Beef Mix".
He recently got in to an altercation with a Jay-Z associate who was with Ne-Yo at the time and turned himself into the police shortly after. However, it was recently reported that Jones did not get into a altercation with Ne-Yo, but was instead a rumour intended to increase tension.
Cam'ron
In early 2007, rumors began to spread stating that Jim Jones had been in many rifts and disagreements with fellow Dipset member Cam'ron
On May 7, 2007, Jones was to appear on the "Funkmaster Flex radio show", but due to unknown reasons Jones was a no-show. Bloggers and listeners began to wonder if this statement of a possible break-up within the group was indeed true. However, radio personality Miss Info interviewed Jones and got him to describe the situation with him and Cam'ron. He said:
On April 8, 2009, after three years of not being on speaking terms with Jones, Cam'ron stated that the rift in the Diplomats is too big for him to make music with Juelz Santana or Jim Jones ever again. The Harlem rapper said the "last straw" was Jim Jones publicly denying a phone call between the two that took place back in February.
Max B
The beef with Max B was simply money related. After being arrested on robbery and murder charges stemming from a September 2006 incident, Max B was bailed out of jail by Jim Jones. Before being bailed out, Max B agreed to sign over all of his publishing to Jim Jones in exchange. After being bailed out, Max B signed with Jim Jones' "ByrdGang Records". As a member of Jones' rising group, "ByrdGang", Max B began to rise to fame on the underground scene and was credited with helping produce Jones' greatest hit to date, "We Fly High".
After over a year of working with Jones, Max B approached Jones asking about money that he was not being given after helping Jones with several of his projects and mixtapes. Jones denied him the money saying he was still working off the money used to bail him out of jail. This caused a rift between the two resulting in Max B asking to be released from his contract in order to pursue his own goals.
After the split, Max B began taunting Jim Jones in online videos saying Jones' then fiancee, Chrissy, engaged in sexual relations with him while doing work in Miami. After this, Max B in almost every song he made, taunted Jim Jones and his Dipset/ByrdGang affiliates. Jim Jones responded with "Frienemies" on his album, "Pray IV Reign", dissing Max B and his former Dipset partner Cam'Ron. There were several confrontations between Max B and Dipset/ByrdGang and several rumored confrontations as well. Max B led his new group "Gain Greene" against Jones' and his Dipset/ByrdGang followers.
The two sides traded disses back and forth until Max B was found guilty on June 9, 2009 of th
