Well, he’s still Jimmy from the uptown block; but with a new found flare including a new album “Pray IV Reign” on Columbia Records (which drops March 24th), documentary “This Is Jim Jones”, movie “The Jim Jones Movie”, and play. Yes…a play, titled, “Hip Hop Monologues: Inside the Life and Mind of Jim Jones”. Written and produced by Howard University graduate J. Kyle Manzay and co-written by Jim himself, the Hip Hop Monologues is somewhat of an interactive album listening session, as Jim’s entire album is incorporated into the monologues. The play is devoted to Jim’s return to the streets of Harlem.
It [the play]gives the audience a chance to be Jim. The scenes never skip a beat, as a live jazz band, and active characters keep you engaged in the theatrical performance. And Jim actually does great job acting. While I was watching, I thought, “Could Jim be the new Diddy of Broadway?” then I came back to reality as a street war scene quickly developed, with Jim’s new track, “Pop Off” blaring through the theater!
Ultimately, the play shows you the thought process behind one of Jim’s biggest decisions of his life. The play is a must see, and will be back in NYC March 24 thru 28th!
