Jim Jones Plots Summer '08 Takeover, Album, Byrd Gang & DVD On The Way

Dipset Capo Jim Jones has several projects in the works this summer; with a Byrd Gang album coming next month, followed by the release of his major label debut and documentary about his life and career.

On June 24th Jim Jones and his fellow Byrd Gang members (Chink Santana, Sandman, Oshy, NOE and Mel Matrix) will follow up the release of their new single "Splash" with a full length album. The album, which is entitled M.O.B. (Members of Byrd Gang), will drop on Jones' Byrd Gang imprint on Asylum Records.

In addition, the Harlem representative is also prepping a solo album for August 19th release through Columbia Records. As previously reported, Jones' childhood friend and business partner, Dame Dash, recently went on the record calling the Byrd Gang front man's major label debut a "classic."

"His new album, I think he might have come up with a classic, and that's me saying that," Dash said in a recent internet video.

Dash and Jones have been working together on The True Jim Jones Documentary, which traces Jimmy's life from his early days as a CatholicSchool kid from the Harlem streets to a "full blown superstar and business mogul." [Watch Below]

The documentary will be released two weeks before his solo album, on August 8th.
