Hey, I’ve got a big one for you, guys.

Recently announced by Diplomats Records CEO Jim Jones aka “Da Capo” (Italian for “Da Head”) is the label’s long-term partnership with NYC skate label B. Unique to form the DipSkate skate team. What a fabulous idea! In order to separate himself from Pharrell Williams, Jones decided to make his skate team the kind that rolls on blades not boards, saying in the team’s promo video, “you can do dirt on the skates and all that shit.” Hollaback, boy!

The team is represented by Ramelle Knight, who uses “his natural born talent to break stereotypes and misconceptions,” and Calvin Sayles, who “blew past the common way of living when coming from the hood.”

One time I saw this rollerblader do a trick where he jumped up on a pole, bent over, grabbed his ankles, and cruised all the way to the bottom. Shit was hot!

In addition to the skate team, Jones is scoring with young men all over America with his hit “We Fly High” and its rousing chorus, “Baaaaaallllllliiiiinnnn’!!!,” as well as his associated Myspace video contest, “Come Ball Out With Jim Jones.” A true hustler.

Update: If you're around D.C. this weekend, it's Howard Homecoming. Jim will be there hosting events and performing along with Ludacris, Diddy, Lloyd Banks, DJ Drama, Biz Markie, Paul Wall, and Asheru of local hip-hop group Unspoken Heard and host of the forthcoming Boondocks mixtape. I'm sure there will be some nice surprises at Yardfest, as well. Just stay clear of Cam's Lambo unless you need publicity for your blog.
