Jim “One Eyed Willie” Jones, born Joseph Jimmy Guillermo Jones, steps out of his producer, director and executive seat to bring the streets another credible album.

“Hustler’s P.O.M.E” (Product Of My Environment) released Nov. 7, 2006, from Koch Records, is a hard-hitting album that will have you “Ballin”? and yelling Dipset where ever you go. A great follow up to “Harlem: Diary of a Summer” released in 2005, where Jones gave you “Summer with Miami,”?now he has everyone “Ballin,” and not on the basketball court. “Ballin,” where one throws up their hands as if they were shooting a shot, has become a new street craze that has everyone from NFL Players ballin’ out on touchdown’s to the clubs going crazy when the “Ballin,”?record beat drops.

“Hustler’s P.O.M.E” begins with a Max B laced track that takes Jones from his life on the dark streets, to the ice and bright lights of the entertainment world. The album has 20 street-inspired songs with beats and production that mirrors the darkness that Jones portrays through his voice, which is like no other in the game.

Jones, who does not step much out the Diplomat family when making an album, has features from Lil’ Wayne, Rell, Dr. Ben Chavis and Chink Santana. It also would not be a Dip album if Cam did not bless it. Juelz Santana, Max B, Hell Rell and new Dip family members Jha Jha, Princess and Stack Bundles also appear on the album.

Production on the album doesn’t have a lot of big named produces that other albums may have, but the tracks on the album definitely compliment Jones raspy style to the T. Chink Santana, Jim Jones and a few other up-and-coming producers make up a classic that can be played from track one to 20.

“So Harlem,” the second track on the disc featuring Max B, comes off real hard. Produced by Chink Santana, “So Harlem”?describes Jones, and it tells you who he is.

Jones takes you through a typical day Dipset style, and then he adds Max B, who brings you that gangster Jones is trying to represent in a soulful manner on the hook.

Another banger on the album is “Weather Man” featuring Lil’ Wayne and mixtape king Stack bundles.

“Weather Man,” produced by Majik, is similar to Fat Joes’ “Let it Rain,” but best believe Weezy just isn’t on the hook, and Stack Bundles talks about still spending money from his time with Desert Storm, a crew made famous by Fabolous. Then you have a timely verse from Jones who sets the record straight on who the Diplomats are and what would happen if you were to run your mouth a little too much.

“Hustlers P.O.M.E”?is certified banger and should be added to your collection. Jimmy has proven that he is a MC, and if the other two previous albums are not an indication, then “Product Of My Environment”? will be the period. Jones has carried the Dipset name in prime fashion, and he still has more to come.
