On August 8, 2025, Bronx native Dyce Payso flipped Rodney’s Comedy Club into a full-on hip-hop sanctuary for the release of his highly anticipated album, 2Mar Ain’t Promise. What was billed as an album release party quickly became a cultural moment, with the legendary Jim Jones not only hosting but also hitting the stage for a performance alongside Albee Al, turning the night into a Dipset inspired eastcoast witb Bronx, Harlem, and New Jersey at pinnacle of this powerhouse showcase. To top it off, Hot 97’s DJ Drewski kept the energy sky-high, providing genuine support giving the party that authentic New York Hip Hop stamp. It wasn’t just an album release—it was Dyce Payso’s declaration that the Bronx has a new voice to watch.
Dipset Stamps the Moment
With Jim Jones and other Dipset affiliates co-signing the event, it was clear that Dyce Payso’s rise is being taken seriously. Jones, who has guided Payso as part of his Vamp Life roster, stood proudly by his artist’s side, reminding everyone this wasn’t just another release—it was a legacy move. And while Jim Jones gave the stamp, Dyce also stood firmly on the shoulders of his own affiliations—his Boss Bred family and the Blanco Family crew—both of which showed up in support, making it clear that his movement is just as much homegrown as it is industry-backed.
A Stage Filled with Firsts and Legacy
One of the most unforgettable moments of the night came when Jim Jones himself grabbed the mic to deliver his classic “Harlem”—a track that immediately had the crowd rapping every word back. The Dipset legend’s presence not only stamped the event but also connected Dyce Payso’s moment to New York’s larger hip-hop lineage.
But the energy went through the roof when special guest Albee Al made his first live performance appearance alongside Dyce and Jones. Together, the trio lit up the stage with the explosive “Paper Route Remix,” marking a Bronx-to-Harlem-to-Jersey connection that had fans screaming, phones in the air, and the whole venue
Standout Tracks: “Litty” and “Back It”
Dyce Payso’s project 2Mar Ain’t Promise has already begun carving its lane in the city. His single “Litty” has quickly become a fan favorite, an uptempo Bronx anthem that feels tailor-made for car speakers and club nights. Another standout is “Back At It,” where Dyce flexes his lyrical grit and undeniable energy alongside music artist, Dave East. But what’s really heating up the airwaves Uptown and across New York radio is his new feature-heavy banger “Pull Up” with DJ ChuloNYC, featuring A La Grena and Foxxi. The record has the streets buzzing, proving Dyce isn’t just carrying Bronx momentum—he’s linking with the right voices to build a movement that’s echoing far beyond his block.
