Jim Jones latest project The Fraud Department marks the former Diplomats members eighth studio album, a collaboration with producer Harry Fraud.
Jones opens the project with Laps Around the Sun, chronicling his life s journey as a victim of circumstance selling drugs and witnessing police brutality. He may not be proud of his actions when he was younger, but in 44 years he s able to speak to his experience.
While the 11-track project is filled with a mix of slower, thought-provoking tracks and upbeat club bangers, what is perhaps most powerful from the New York emcee are his reflective verses on tracks such as Say A Prayer and Make It Home.

On February 10, 2006, Pink Panther came out in theaters. The film is centered around an inspector on a mission to stop a pink diamond thief.
The comedy-mystery included Steve Martin as Inspector Jacques Clouseau and Houston native Beyoncé as his love interest.
What makes this film so significant, is not only that Beyoncé played a role in the actual film, but her popular song Check On It was supposed to be on the movie s official soundtrack. The original music video from Beyoncé s Check On It included cinematic aspects of the Pink Panther film.
