Jim Jones Signs Multimillion Dollar Deal With Rick Rubin and Sony Records

After much speculation, New York City’s Hot 97 radio gossip queen, Miss Info, has confirmed that Jim Jones is officially leaving Koch Records and has signed a new multimillion-dollar deal with Rick Rubin and Sony Records. “I just left the lawyer’s office,” Jones told Miss Info. “I signed a multimillion dollar joint venture with Sony. My boss is Rick Rubin, and Hip Hop [Kyambo Joshua, former Roc-A-Fella Records A&R] is doing my albums with me. What you think Jay-Z is gonna think about that?” Predictably, Koch Records was not pleased to see one of their biggest starts make the move to Sony, but according to Miss Info, Koch was “broken off nicely.” Nevertheless, Jimmy’s new deal also allows him to bring his Byrdgang Records imprint over to his new home as well. “What’s crazy is that they gave me the same deal that Un and them ****ed up back in the day when they got the Sony/Untertainment deal,” Jones said. “I got that joint venture, that 50/50 split. They don’t give those out anymore. That’s a Dame Dash, Ruff Ryders [type of] deal. I’m about to go crazy with it. I’m gonna be a problem.”

His last album was cool. But I don't think he even writes his own lyrics. And he's not gonna create another Ballin.

Whats all the hype about, Jim Jones is and always will be garbage, he'll only be remembered for "ballin"....I strongly doubt he'll ever make another banger like that....

his next album will flop, his "record label" will tank because if he's the best on the roster, obviously there's going to be failure.
