Thus far in 2010, Jim Jones has kept a relatively low Booth profile, surfacing only for Dipset reunion cut Salute and the odd guest appearance. So, what’s the self-proclaimed “King of Harlem” been up to for the last nine months or so? Getting high, of course! Oh, and working on a brand new album. Heralding the project’s arrival is freshly-released single Blow Your Smoke, a slow-rolling affair which finds Jones enjoying a leisurely, weed-enhanced drive through the city streets. Frequent Starrs & Murph collaborator araabMUZIK mans the boards, cooking up a dreamy, synth-laced instrumental sure to please the smokers (as well as those who prefer to vibe out without chemical assistance). Fittingly, Jones’ verses find him in mellower form than usual. “Relaxed” might be an overstatement, though – keeping a wary eye out for cops or lawbreakers who might try and ruin his good time, he admits: “I stay strapped case a n*gga might run up.” So, readers, will you be flipping this one on at your next smoking session (or, for those who don’t partake… um… yoga class)? Those digging it should stay tuned for the latest leading up to the November arrival of Capo, the artist’s fifth full-length.

Digging the beat, although I kinda envisioned it for an R&B singer like Ne-Yo to croon over an instrumental track like this.
Although his voice and ad-libs kinda annoys me, I think this is the best lyricism I've heard from him in a long time. |

Jim, Jim, Jim. This is what its come to? He has to make weed tracks to get some play? There are better ways to get noticed again then bum tracks like this. Production here is hreat however I wouldn't really imagine this kind of instrumental for a weed track, hook needed more work.

I don’t think you should over analyze this, just appreciate it for what it is.

I gave up on Jim Jones a long time ago (sorry, Jimmy), but I enjoyed this record from a production standpoint. Arrabmuzik proves he can craft an R&B-centric beat, which in the hands of an actual R&B artist would sound even better.

I'm not sure what anyone was expecting from Jones. His lyrics have actually improved substantially, but he'll always be a street rapper. Like Young Swish said, just play this one and enjoy.
man, really made me miss Nate Dogg - he would have been perfect for that hook.

A one hit wonder rapper for sure. Production was the greatest aspect of the track and the hook wasn't too far from excellent. The thing with Jim Jones is, everytime he spits a verse, I seem to just doze off. If only he could replicate the "BALLIN" fad that got him to where he used to be.
If you overlook Jim Jones this is a really solid track. |

I think you are all being too harsh on him to be honest. I really like this relaxed track. I myself am not a fan of R&B singers like Ne-Yo and such, High pitched voices just dont work in my head. So for a relaxed beat like this and Jim Jones on it, It gives me a song I can listen to while I relax.
