With the Dipest Reunion into play and the recent death of Huddy Combs (RIP), its only right that we take U back to Diplomatic Immunity, the debut album by The Diplomats, released on March 25, 2003 on Rocafella Records. The Diplomats, also popularly known as Dipset, are a Harlem-based hip hop group founded by Cam'ron and Jim Jones in 1997. The original members of the group were Cam'ron, Freekey Zekey, and Jim Jones ; who all grew up together in Harlem. Juelz Santana would later be added to the group in 2000.
After the release of group leader Cam'ron's third album, Come Home With Me, the quartet teamed up to release their first collaborative effort. The album features the lead single "Dipset Anthem", "I Really Mean It", "Ground Zero", and "Bout It Bout It...Part III" (featuring Master P). In addition to Master P, the album features appearances from Monique Chandler, Shaniqua Williams, Toya, Freeway, and DMX. The album also features Diplomat rapper Hell Rell, who was incarcerated at the time of the album's release.
The double-disc album was a success and quickly became certified gold by RIAA under two months after its release. This album is what Mase meant when he said Harlem World. If U never been to Harlem, all U have to do is pop this cd in the player.
