Jim Jones thinks the city is back. In a new interview, the Dipset veteran proclaimed that New York City hip-hop is back on the rise.
The 45-year-old joined ‘Big Apple’ based radio star Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1 to talk about DJ Drama collaborative project, Gangsta Grillz: We Set The Trends. During the interview, he spoke up about the city’s current status in rap, and showed some rookies (including Fivio Foreign) major love.
Jim Jones told Ebro…
“I feel like we’re coming back wholeheartedly with the Fivios and all the young energy that they’re putting out there. With the Drill music and how the Drill music is starting to move further down south into the west coast. We took something from Chicago and made it our own. Now it’s New York Drill.”
He continued,
“It’s a sound that we’re known for, it’s just so much going on. So I like the way that the music industry is going in as a whole. The money is better, the stream’s work in our favor. New York, we back on the rise. No disrespecting nobody else, but we been in a black hole for a long time and people have been throwing stones at us. So now to see us rising above that black hole makes me feel very good.”
Jones definitely has a point, and it is absolutely amazing to see the place where hip-hop’s origins exist shooting back up to the top.
