The Diplomats, also known as Dipset, are a Harlem-based hip-hop collective founded in 1997 by childhood friends Cam'ron and Jim Jones. The group later expanded to include Freekey Zekey and Juelz Santana. They are renowned for their distinctive blend of hardcore rap and innovative slang, which has significantly influenced the hip-hop lexicon. Their debut album, "Diplomatic Immunity" (2003), achieved gold status, featuring hits like "Dipset Anthem." After a hiatus, they reunited to release "Diplomatic Ties" in 2018, reaffirming their enduring impact on the genre. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diplomats?utm_source=openai))
