Most of the hip-hop community were in Atlanta last weekend for the annual A3C festival and the 2018 BET Hip-Hop Awards taping. The Diplomats performed at A3C this year, where they announced their long-awaited new album. Titled Diplomatic Ties, the Harlem group’s first project in 14 years will arrive next month on Thanksgiving Day (Nov. 22). An accompanying documentary is also set to drop one week after the album is out. Just yesterday (Oct. 8), Cam’ron, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana and Freekey Zekey shot a music video for the song “By Any Means.”
