The Diplomats, also known as Dipset, is a prominent hip-hop group that emerged from Harlem, New York City, in the late 1990s. Founded by rappers Cam'ron and Jim Jones, the group later expanded to include members Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey. The crew quickly became known for their distinct lyrical flair, elaborate sampling, and a unique blend of street-savvy narratives intertwined with bold beats, largely influenced by the production style of The Heatmakerz. The group's chemistry and Harlem-rooted identity propelled them to become one of the East Coast's standout acts during the early 2000s.
Dipset's rise to fame was bolstered by their two seminal albums, "Diplomatic Immunity" and its sequel "Diplomatic Immunity 2," which featured hits that became anthems of the New York hip-hop scene. Despite a period of inactivity and internal disputes, The Diplomats managed to capture the attention of both old and new fans with their long-awaited 2018 album "Diplomatic Ties." The project rekindled the group's signature sound and showcased their lasting influence in the rap game. Tracks such as "On God" featuring Belly and "Sauce Boyz" reasserted The Diplomats' presence, reaffirming their status as hip-hop heavyweights who continue to be celebrated for their cultural impact and cohesive teamwork.
