Last month, Jim Jones revealed what appeared to be a track list, teasing the album.

The group’s last album Diplomatic Immunity 2 was released in 2004. In 2011, they signed to Interscope Records, but they never released a full-length project.

During the last several years, Cam’ron and Jim Jones were dealing with internal conflicts, while Juelz Santana was faced with a federal weapons charge.
