About this episode
Drink Champs Network Presents: ROC Solid with Memphis Bleek. This week on ROC Solid , we tappin’ in with none other than Jim Jones — Part 2 of our conversation goes even deeper, blending Harlem hustle with hard-earned wisdom. In this episode, Jim peels back more layers of his journey—talking legacy, business plays, and the mindset it takes to survive in both the streets and the industry. He speaks on evolving from artist to executive, building Vampire Life into a real lifestyle brand, and how staying independent gave him freedom and leverage. The Diplomats era gets revisited with new stories, raw honesty, and hilarious behind-the-scenes moments only Jim could tell. Jones also dives into family, loyalty, and the personal sacrifices that come with success. He opens up about navigating loss, remaining resilient, and why he’s still one of the hardest workers in hip hop. From real estate moves to executive producing TV shows, Jim shows he’s more than a rapper—he’s a strategist. The chemistry with Bleek is pure energy, with classic barbershop-style debate, jewels being dropped, and plenty of laughs. Jim Jones proves once again why he’s a cultural icon who never stopped reinventing himself. This is motivation, history, and street game all in one. Tap in - history’s being told by the ones who lived it. This is ROC Solid.
