The beef between former Dipset members Hell Rell and Jim Jones has landed in court in a new lawsuit against Jim Jones and a number of record labels.

Hell Rell, born Durell Mohammed, was a member of Cam’ron’s Diplomats crew, which at one point featured Cam, Jim Jones, Juelz Santana, Hell Rell, Max B and others.

The lawsuit, which was filed in New York County Court, claims that Jim Jones, Koch, Tycoon Entertainment Babygrande Records and E1 cheated him out of royalties.

Hell Rell signed with Koch/E1 in 2007 and released one album for the label, Hell Up in Harlem.

That album was followed with 2008's Black Mask, Black Gloves, which was released via the mom & pop label, Babygrande Records.

After many years of working with Wu-Tang affiliates Bronze Nazareth, The Wisemen and most recently Almighty, Babygrande has chosen not to

exercise its contractual options with these respective artists for

future albums. "All of those artists made great records but

unfortunately sales were below expectations and none of their projects

were profitable. I wish them the best of luck in their future

endeavors," says Chuck Wilson, Babygrande's CEO.
