The O.D.: A Mixtape Daily Exclusive

[artist id="860639"]50 Cent[/artist] and [artist id="1796387"]Jim Jones[/artist] said they used the good old 'hood barter system when it came to the Diplomat Capo performing at Saturday's [article id="1622984"]ThisIs50 Music Festival[/article] on Governors Island in New York.

"The craziest thing with Jim, I just said Jimmy is gonna be there [in advertisements for the show]," 50 said. "Then he squeezed me. [Laughs.]"

"I said, 'I need something for that,' " Jones added with a grin. "Word up, I said a favor for a favor, we gonna do this old-school. How we feeling?"

Juelz Santana was onboard too. "It's a couple of mutual friends. I said, 'Let's do it. Why not?' " Santana said.

"We got the official 007, 'Mission Impossible' concert of the year," Jones said. "Plane to the train to the automobiles."

Almost, Jim. To get to the show, you had to drive to the pier and take a ferry to Governors Island. Besides the Dips, D-Block, Uncle Murda, Cory Gunz, Red Cafe, Wyclef Jean, Maino, Slaughterhouse, Papoose, Kid Cudi and Wale performed.

"Everybody is definitely enjoying themselves," 50 said. "This is a great example of us being together and having a successful concert without anything happening. Just like [article id="1622424"]'40 Day/ Forever Young.'[/article] We got everybody coming through here. Everybody is gonna be out here tonight."

Don't Sleep: Necessary Notables

Independent Album: First Impressions

Headliner: Really Doe

Key Collaborations: "Plastic" (featuring Kanye West) and "Fabrics" (featuring GLC and Malik Yusef)

Essential Info: "First Impressions is my first look to the world. It's my baby," Chicago native Really Doe said about his independent debut. "It's how people will judge me. Nowadays, people only give you one chance, so here it is -- all of me!"

Doe has been wicked with the raps for years. Our first real dose of his bars came on Kanye West's Late Registration LP alongside 'Ye and Nas for "We Major." Signed to West's G.O.O.D. Music label, Doe said working with the Louis Vuitton Don is natural.

" 'Ye is my n---a, has been for over 15 years," he said. "So anytime I can make music with my fam, it's always fun. He has given me the opportunity to learn about biz."

Kanye appears on "Plastic," while Doe said another favorite of his from the tape is "Checkin' In." "In entertainment, we're always on the road, so I wanted to create something that my people on the go can relate to," he said.

First Impressions is out now.
