By Allen Starbury ♦ Published 12/03/2009

Jim JonesAfter dropping just one album with Columbia Records -- with 2009's Pray IV Reign -- Jim Jones has parted ways with the label for E1 Music, formerly known as Koch Records.

According to XXL, the Harlem rapper recently inked a deal with his former label where he'll drop his next solo album, as well as an upcoming mixtape.

Further information regarding the upcoming projects were unknown at press time.

Jones was signed to Koch Records before joining Columbia, following the breakout success of his smash single, "We Fly High."

With Koch, he released three solo albums -- his 2004 debut, On My Way to the Chruch, 2005's sophomore follow-up Harlem: Diary of a Summer, and 2006's Hustler's P.O.M.E. (Product of My Environment).

Why he decided to leave the major label was unknown at press time.
