Jim Jones drops the first single off "Wasted Talent."

The Diplomats are in full force right now. They reunited in 2017 for their RapCaviar show and released "Once Upon A Time" which sparked speculation that we'll be getting a new album from the collective sometime soon. The thought isn't far fetched nor has any member of the Dipset crew shut down the idea of it. Jim Jones recently announced his new album, Wasted Talent with a hilarious commercial featuring Cam'Ron. Today, he comes through with the first single off the project.

With Wasted Talent on the way, Jim Jones kicks the campaign off with his new single, "Chicken Fried Rice" featuring Yo Gotti, Trav and 5am. These three are just a glimpse of the features that'll be in the project. Jones hasn't lost his touch on the mic and Gotti, Trav and 5am help bring their own flavor to the record.

Aside from these three rappers, expect appearances from Cam'ron, Mozzy, Lil Durk and more on Wasted Talent. The album's pre-order is available now and the project drops on April 13th through Vamplife/EMPIRE.

Quotable Lyrics
Or hit the block, hit the chinese store, get you lo mein
Get the ice tea, and I promise girl, it'll drive you insane
What you know about chop cheeses
Double park with my top off, with the hot sauce in my drop V
