Jim Jones is not only an artist but a CEO with his own label as well, and he’s taking the proper steps to set his signees up for a bright future.
Taking to Instagram with a video on Thursday (February 1), the Dipset rapper revealed he was already in the process of helping the artists who are signed to his Vamp Life (VL) label get their credit fixed. Next up for the Capo getting them some health insurance, and he’s turned to his followers for some assistance.

“I got all may artists’ credit being fixed and establishing that whole side of them which I know a lot of artists really don’t even have credit,” he said in the clip. “So the next thing I want do now that I got that going is find out how I get my artists some health insurance. So if anybody has any information on health insurance, please hit me up in the DM.
“I would like to get each of my artists that’s signed to VL an opportunity to have some health insurance because a lot of people don’t have health insurance and in these times where everybody’s getting sick and so much things going on, this is something I would like to do for my artists.”

He continued: “I know record labels don’t do none of this type of shit for any of their artists that they do business with. They ain’t gon’ help you with your credit, they not gon’ give you no health insurance, there ain’t no pension, there ain’t no 401k. So I’m trying to fill in the gaps for my artists just as these Fortune 500 companies do for their employees and have some benefits that they could take with them.”

But while he’s in full boss mode for his label, Jim Jones isn’t hanging the mic up for himself any time soon either.
Just a few weeks back, the Harlem native issued a PSA calling out his peers and challenging them to a studio cook-up session to see who can outrap who.
The Dipset MC is putting his money where his mouth is as he’s willing to pledge $100,000 to the cause for anyone to enter the ring with him.
“With the exception of my #LobbyBoyz @fitlitclub this is for everyone of you old n-ghas lol I want smoke bad,” he wrote in the caption of his post. “Let’s start wit 100k at any studio do it live for th people to judge lol Let’s see who excepts this challenge from my era my first album was 2004.”

Capo added in the video itself: “Tell them old n-ggas get in the studio. They trying to do everything but rap. I know nostalgia sells but that shit old, ya heard? Come out and play. I could come to any studio I’m at.
“I’ll cook any one of you n-ggas up from my era. And I got the bag to match it. This is a public service announcement 2024. I’m giving out all smoke to you n-ggas from my era.”
