French Montana And Jim Jones Officially End Their Beef With The ‘Too Late’ Video

The two rappers ended their feud, which dated all the way back to New York’s ‘mixtape era,’ earlier this year. …

Contrary to the title of their new collaboration, it was never “Too Late” for French Montana and Jim Jones to officially end their longstanding feud, even if it has been over 15 years since the New Yorkers’ egos first clashed. The two initially came together on Instagram Live earlier this year, with French posting, “15 YEARS OF BEEFING ENDED UP WITH LAUGHS AND WAR STORIES. BIG MOMENT FOR HIP HOP.” Now, that big moment has been solidified and commemorated with the video for “Too Late” marking the first collaboration between Diplomats and Coke Boyz in over a decade.

While the two rappers and their respective crews have been arguing since the mixtape era, their mutual connection, Max B, was the catalyst for their reconciliation after giving an interview from prison expressing regret for how things played out. He blamed the fight on “two egos coming together” and said, “I think today we would’ve handled the situation different.” He said the disagreement was an example of “just egos clashing. A lack of respect. That sh*t don’t mix well, and next thing you know, we beefing…it shoulda went a different way.”

Meanwhile, French recently collaborated with Pop Smoke and Popcaan after trying to provoke a Verzuz battle with Kendrick Lamar. Jim Jones appeared with fellow Harlemites Dave East and Juelz Santana, the latter from prison, on “Pink Eagle.”

“Empatia,“ the stunning electronic debut of Aurien, in collaboration with Jab Vix, is the start of a new creative universe under Aurien’s newly launched imprint Château Bonheur Musique. The track feels like a doorway into a curated emotional space, built from atmosphere, storytelling, and immersive sound design.

“Empatia” is founded upon a contemporary electronic aesthetics that favors texture. The production is sleek and considered, offering up soft rhythmic pulses within roomy layers that breathe. Working with Jab Vix gives texture and dynamics to Aurien’s perspective and sets the sound for the song. It’s more about feeling the music than looking for peaks of high energy. It builds slowly and invites you to sit in the mood.

A highlight is the “Elegant Mix,” which takes the original and gives it a more subdued, slicker makeover. It allows the heart of the composition to come through more intimately, and this duality reinforces the idea behind Château Bonheur Musique as environment, experience, and feeling. “Empatia” is a debut statement and manifesto for the immersive, emotionally intelligent electronic music that works as effortlessly as it does in shared spaces. It’s a thoughtful direction for Aurien, where sound is not just heard, but lived in.
