18/06/09 Jim Jones Talks Being An A&R

[Almostlity]

As we previously reported, Jim Jones was recently given an A&R position at E1, better known as the former Koch Records. Now the Byrd Gang leader is talking about his new job and what he plans to do with it. "The A&R gig is really good," Jones said in an interview. "We've got a lot going on over there. I've got a new artist called Dorrough. His songs are doing pretty good across the country. Webstar did a duet album with me that's got 'Dancing On Me.' [watch here] D-Block just dropped an album. Shout out to [DJ] Khaled too. They've got a strong roster. They recognize all the money I've made them and all of the moves I've made throughout the years over the course of our relationship. They understand the way I have to work. Freedom is definitely a must for me to get the best quality of product that's usually a hit."

Jimmy went on to talk about what his plans are and what he's about to do. "I'm starting to prepare to record the next album. I'm finishing up the Webstar album, Roof Top right now. I will be putting out my next LP hopefully around Christmas time."
