MTV News’ Sway Calloway Reunites The Diplomats on This Week’s RapFix Live!
Interview with Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey to Stream Live on Thursday, January 20th at 4pm ET on Rapfix.MTV.com
The Diplomats are reunited and the Uptown collective — Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey — are bringing their revived threesome to the couch where they’ll be our guests on “RapFix Live.” Dipset will kick off the second season of MTV News’ hip-hop live stream show on Thursday at 4 p.m. ET right here on RapFix and MTV.com.
“It’s a good feeling,” Jones explained to MTV News about the Harlem collective’s energy. “Everybody just comes to the table with their best. It’s brotherly competition so it only makes it better. Above all, we came back together for the brotherhood. We grew up together, so there was a love that was lost there. We regained that and it’s time for music.”
After an internal spat caused disruption among the charismatic crew, they slowly began repairing the damaged relationships. In February 2009, Cam’ron told MTV News that he and Jones had spoken for the first time in years. From that point on, the two childhood friends inched closer to a reconciliation that eventually resulted in their comeback concert this past November.
On Thursday, Sway will talk with The Dipset members get into their comeback, upcoming mixtape, why they fell apart in the first place and their rumored deal with Interscope Records.
