Jim Jones and Hitmaka are gearing up for their highly anticipated project, Back In My Prime. Jones began teasing the project as early as 2021 when he revealed that he had nearly a dozen projects in the cut. At the time, he intended to drop each project month after month and flood the rap game with quality music. However, things wound up changing but we still received an influx of music, from projects like We Set The Trends to his recent Christmas project featuring many of his artists.

With the new year, Jones and Hitmaka are finally ready to share their upcoming project with the world. It seems as though it’ll also provide Jones with an excellent opportunity to showcase his versatility with records. Though projects like Wasted Talent and El Capo reminded fans of how great of a lyricist he is, what we’ve heard from Back In My Prime showcases his ability to pen hit records. It was as evident as the BEAM-assisted, “Gunshots,” which sampled KRS-One.

Following the release of “Seen The Money,” which features a prominent Alicia Keys sample, Jim Jones is back at it with his latest record “I AM.” This time, he connects with Stefflon Don for a crossover hit. Stefflon’s harmonies grace the hook while Jones comes through with a record for the ladies. The song boasts production from Hitmaka, Boogz, and Cardiak for a breezy anthem that undoubtedly has us excited for the upcoming Back In My Prime album.

Jones has been quite excited for the release of his new single with Stefflon Don. During our interview with him in December, he said that he felt this could be one of records to really make a mark. “The Hitmaka project is coming at the top of the year,” he said. “It’s an incredible project fully produced by Hitmaka. I’m excited, man. I got a record with Stefflon Don that I think could be a very big record.” Check the single above.

Quotable Lyrics
Fast forward, I put more water on your neck than a Pisces
That ass so fat in them thongs, I know you wear that to entice me
But the question is, who gon' be there when the chips is down
Pick you up in that fly whip, just to dick you down
