Phenomenal Radio Chart-Topper Provides First Glimpse Of Jim Jones' Heavily-Anticipated
Major Label Debut Album, 'Pray IV Reign,' Due March 24, 2009 From Columbia
Records
New York, NY (Rap Newswire) January 27, 2009 - "Pop Champagne," the
celebratory new single by Jim Jones and Ron Browz (featuring Juelz Santana)
is this week's #1 record on America's Urban Radio stations according to
the Billboard Monitor Urban Mainstream chart.
A bona-fide urban-pop crossover phenomenon, "Pop Champagne" is zipping
up a variety of charts, hitting #3 on the Top 40 Rhythm Monitor, #3 Hot
Rap Tracks, #4 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and #11 on the Billboard Hot
100.
Released September 4, 2008, "Pop Champagne" is providing urban music
fans with an effervescent first taste of "Pray IV Reign," the eagerly-awaited
major label album debut from the ground-breaking hip-hop impresario and
artist Jim Jones. His first album for Columbia Records, "Pray IV Reign"
will be available in stores and online on Tuesday, March 24.
Jim Jones is rolling out "Pray IV Reign" in a manner befitting his status
as a legendary creator and purveyor of East Coast hip-hop.
With Spin magazine giving his new record a 3 (out of 4) star review
and the covers of both XXL and Complex magazines on the newsstands this
month, Jim Jones will be appearing in his own self-penned off-Broadway
musical "Hip-Hop Monologues: Inside the Life and Mind of Jim Jones" the
week "Pray IV Reign" is released. The show's initial New York run proved
so successful that an extended tour is planned for February and March 2009.
In anticipation of the release of "Pray IV Reign," Jim Jones will release
"This Is Jim Jones," a documentary film chronicling his rise from the Bronx
and the streets of Harlem as a founding member of the pioneering hip-hop
collective the Diplomats to become one of the genre's most profoundly influential
executives as the CEO of Diplomat Records.
