After first announcing at A3C that they would be releasing a new LP on Thanksgiving Day, The Harlem Diplomats stayed true to their word, dropping the nine-song Diplomatic Ties. Nearly fifteen years after their initial project, the group looks to prove their sound is as sharp — and cohesive — as ever.
Tory Lanez, Belly (who appears on the single “On God”), and Trav all make guest appearances, as do The Lox trio on the aptly titled “Dipset/Lox” produced by Cool & Dre.
Don Cannon, Murda Beatz, and The Heatmakerz all lend production to the project. New York producer J Armz — the man behind the iconic instrumental series How To Be An MC — also touched “By Any Means” and ”Uptown” (as well as the Outro).
For the diehard Dipset fans, you can also snag yourself some Dipset USA gear during the Black Friday sale, which is offering 25% off all orders.

Juelz still sounds toothless on ‘On God
this would be cooler if juelz wasn’t smoking work
They already have a Dipset/Lox collaboration called “D-Block/Dipset” off Sheet Louch’s third album. They could have at least come up with a title that they hadn’t used already, lol.
Pretty sure there was a song called “Dipset Forever” on Purple Haze as well. Just saying, do better.
9 songs is not an album..it’s an EP = extended player
Still be pretending to be running the block…….lames
Juelz sound very different. Bars ok but energy low. Is hell rell, zeeke and jr writer on this project as well?
