If you were shocked when you heard that Jim Jones signed to Jay Z's Roc Nation, you definitely weren't alone.

Earlier today, we shared the news. Right away many questioned why the Dipset rapper would work with Hov after years of dissing him.

"The fact that people are ready to forget the past and help me move forward to the next step of my career is very inspiring," said Jimmy in a press release. "As you get older, you realize that most of your peers are either dead or in jail. The fact that we can move past the BS is a testimony of how much we have grown."
