Vampire Life: Album Overview
Vampire Life is a studio project by Jim Jones, the Harlem-based rapper and Dipset affiliate, released on May 14, 2013. The album runs 24 tracks deep and clocks in at just over one hour, functioning as both a full-length release and a showcase for Jones's Vampire Life brand. Longtime collaborator Sen City appears on a large share of the record, anchoring the project's street-oriented sound.
The release sits within a deep Jim Jones discography that includes Hustler's P.O.M.E. (2006), Pray IV Reign (2009), and El Capo (2019), but Vampire Life stands out for its density — it is one of his longest single releases.
