A violent threat has emerged from Rochester, New York, as a local figure issues a chilling ultimatum to New York City-based rappers Jada Kiss and Jim Jones, following a heated online exchange over a diss directed at 38 Spech. The warning, captured in a widely circulated video, declares a āno fly zoneā for anyone from the five boroughs, promising robbery and physical harm to anyoneāmale or femaleāwho steps into Rochester.
The video, posted by a channel known as āOG Productā and narrated by what appears to be a Rochester affiliate, describes a āgoonā who has āfinished clapping cheeksā and is now ready to act.
āItās a no fly zone for the homie to touch down in Rochester to chase a check and get a bag,ā the narrator says. āHeās running them up out of there.ā The threat specifically targets Jada Kiss and Jim Jones for ādissing 38 Spechāāthe perceived instigator of the original conflict.
The feud traces back to a verbal attack by 38 Spech, a Rochester rapper, against Jada Kiss. In the video transcript, the narrator explains: āDirty Age Specy who basically started everything by airing on Jada Kiss and was calling Jada Kiss a hater and saying he thinks Jada Kiss is hating on him because heās nicer than Jay the Kiss.ā This diss, the narrator claims, prompted Jim Jonesālongtime Hip Hop figure and member of The Diplomatsāto respond.
Jim Jonesās response is captured in the same video. āI just told my young book Iāmma give him a deal if he bites you,ā Jones says, addressing 38 Spech. āYou aināt even got enough money to talk to me.
You not even allowed to be talking to me in any type of way like that.ā Jones then signals a young associate to handle the situation: āMy young boy aināt going to spare you. He will walk you down ASAP.ā
The narrator interprets this as a direct threat to 38 Spechās safety.
The Rochester figure, however, dismisses Jonesās bravado. The narrator states: āHomeboy donāt got enough guts.
Homeboy donāt got enough chicken. He donāt got enough straight cash to even argue with Jim Jones.ā Yet the threat from Rochester is more immediate and physical.
āGreen light is on your Mac. We on you, bro. You know where it is,ā the Rochester voice says, referencing social media platforms and location tracking.
In the video, the Rochester affiliate issues a sweeping challenge to anyone from New York City. āIf you from New York City, you can my dick straight up. I donāt give a f who you is.
If we catch you up here and you from New York City, a burrow, we running you out of here.ā The warning includes women: āWe aināt going to give a f. Females too.
Send yāall New York City asses back where yāall came from.ā
This development has sparked widespread alarm on social media, where the video has garnered thousands of views within hours. The narrator warns that the situation is āabout to get real dark and deep.ā
He urges viewers to āget in tuneā and āget familiar,ā framing the threat as a prelude to potential violence. āNo longer chatting, no long discussion,ā he says, adding that supporters should āhit the like buttonā while haters can ādo what you do.ā
The feud has deep roots in regional rivalries within the rap industry, but this escalation appears to involve criminal intent.
Law enforcement sources have not yet commented publicly, but legal experts note that the video likely constitutes a credible threat of intimidation, robbery, and assault. The explicit targeting of individuals by name and location, combined with a green-light declaration, could be grounds for both civil and criminal investigation.
Jada Kiss and Jim Jones have not responded publicly as of press time.
Their representatives were not immediately reachable. However, sources close to the artists indicate that security has been heightened and that the matter has been referred to legal counsel. The New York City Police Department has been notified, though Rochester authorities have primary jurisdiction regarding threats made within their city limits.
Rochester, a city of roughly 200,000 residents, has experienced a surge in stray violence over the past year, including a rise in social mediaāfueled conflicts. This incident parallels other high-profile beefs where online insults have led to real-world bloodshed, such as the 2020 killing of rapper Pop Smoke or the ongoing tensions in Chicagoās drill scene. The involvement of a ārecord dealā as bait is particularly notableāa tactic sometimes used by established artists to recruit younger talent for retaliation.
The narratorās monologue also reveals a personal vendetta. āI woke up on some sht today. N** going to get at my son special.
I donāt give a f who you is.ā The phrase āmy son specialā suggests a familial or close associate has been targeted by the New York camp, though details remain unconfirmed. The video ends with the narrator declaring: āItās 585 versus everybody,ā using Rochesterās area code as a battle cry against the entire New York City metropolitan area.
Community leaders in Rochester have condemned the threats. Reverend Marcus Thompson, a local activist, called for calm during a press conference this afternoon. āThis is not about Hip Hop.
This is about lives. We cannot allow social media bravado to turn into street killings,ā Thompson said. āBoth sides need to step back and realize that words have consequences.ā
He urged the parties involved to engage in a mediated sit-down rather than escalating further.
Meanwhile, the video has already triggered waves of retaliation posts online. Several New York-based affiliates have posted counter-threats, though none have matched the specificity of the Rochester ultimatum.
The situation remains fluid, with law enforcement monitoring all platforms for signs of imminent violence. A spokesperson for the Rochester Police Department declined to comment on active investigations but stated that āall threats are taken seriously and are being reviewed.ā
This is not the first time that 38 Spech has been at the center of controversy.
The rapper, known for hard-hitting street lyrics, has previously clashed with other artists over territorial claims. His diss toward Jada Kiss, which included accusations of envy and lack of skill, was widely shared on platforms like WorldStarHipHop before Jim Jones stepped in to defend his associate. The feud escalated quickly, and the Rochester camp appears to view Jonesās response as an unacceptable intrusion.
The transcript also includes a cryptic reference to āJada Kiss & Jim Jones 4 D! $$ing 38 Spech,ā which translates to ābanningā or shutting out the New York duo. The narrator suggests that a āgoon from Rochesterā has already āfinished clapping cheeks,ā a slang term for engaging in sexual activity, implying that the individual is now free to focus on retaliation.
The blunt language underscores a calculated, almost triumphant tone.
Legal analysts point out that the video could violate multiple statutes: menacing, conspiracy to commit robbery or assault, and perhaps even making terroristic threats under New York State Penal Law. The explicit use of āgreen lightā languageāa term often used in organized crime to authorize murderācould be interpreted as an incitement to violence.
However, prosecutors would need to prove that the threats were credible and imminent, not just an expression of anger.
Jim Jones is no stranger to legal scrutiny. The rapper, whose real name is Joseph Guillermo Jones II, has faced prior charges related to gun possession and assault.
His decision to offer a record deal to a young man in exchange for attacking 38 Spech, if proven, could also constitute criminal solicitation. The video shows Jones saying, āIāmma give him a deal if he bites you,ā which some interpret as a payment for physical harm.
Yet the Rochester camp shows no fear of legal repercussions.
āIf you say you a supporter, make sure you support the channel,ā the narrator taunts. He then mocks viewers who donāt follow on Instagram, calling them āYouTube watchā people. The defiance mirrors a broader trend in which street-oriented figures treat social media as both a battlefield and a stage, blurring lines between entertainment and real-world danger.
The involvement of area codesā585 vs. 212/718/347āamplifies the territorial clash. Rochester, historically overshadowed by New York Cityās cultural dominance, has seen its own hip hop scene grow in recent years, with artists like Rich Merk and Skooda Chose gaining national attention.
But the city also suffers from high poverty and gun violence rates. In 2023, Rochester recorded 61 homicides, many connected to disputes that began online.
Social media platforms have been slow to act.
The video remains live on several channels at the time of reporting, despite violating policies against threatening language. YouTubeās community guidelines prohibit āexplicit threats of violence,ā but enforcement often lags. The narrator even instructs viewers to click the āhype button,ā a feature that boosts engagement, signaling that algorithms may amplify the dangerous content before moderators intervene.
As the story unfolds, multiple parties are calling for de-escalation. The New York State Hip Hop Coalition, a group advocating for conflict resolution within the industry, released a statement urging both sides to āput down the cameras and pick up the phones to talk.ā The group offered to mediate a secure, confidential conversation between Jada Kiss, Jim Jones, and representatives from Rochester.
But the Rochester figureās closing words leave little room for negotiation. āIf you from New York City, you can my dick straight up. I donāt give a sht.
Itās 585 versus everybody. We robbing you. We beating the sht out of you.ā
The ultimatum is absolute. For now, the streets of Rochester and New York City brace for potential confrontation. Law enforcement is on alert, and the Hip Hop community watches with bated breath.
