Jim Jones & Maino Start New Group The Lobby Boyz

Jim Jones and Maino have been friends for a very long time, and they’ve collaborated on more than one occasion. Now, the two New Yorkers are officially coming together to form a supergroup while giving young creatives a huge opportunity.

Jim Jones and Maino announced via press release they’ll be in a new group together called Lobby Boyz and are planning to release a studio album. In partnership with record sampling store, Tracklib the newly-formed duo will also offer an up-and-coming producer placement including standard writing credits and publishing on the new album.

Producers interested in the contest will have to take a song and flip it using the sampling program. Capo and Maino will then pick a winner to join them in a virtual studio session and create one song for the untitled album.

We’re going to pick the best [beats] out of the whole batch, and [if you win], you’ll be on the project,” Maino said in the video announcing the project. “Capo’s going to be talking that talk, I’m going to be talking that talk, send the best beats you got. Jim Jones shared Maino’s sentiments by saying, “We’re looking for that fire — we’re looking for that one dope producer to be on the Lobby Boyz album. Send the best beats you got, if my email ain’t sizzling you’re out
