History

It is Jones' third studio album of original material with the hit "We Fly High". Hustler's P.O.M.E. features guest appearances by Cam'ron, Juelz Santana, Hell Rell, Jha Jha, Lil Wayne, Stack Bundles, Max B and R&B singer Rell (not to be confused with Hell Rell).[8]

The album debuted at number six on the Billboard 200 with over 106,000 copies sold in its first week out.[9]

The albums first single "We Fly High" was released October 21, 2006. The single reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100 making it the rapper's highest charting single to date. Another single, "Emotionless" was released on March 21, 2007 but didn't receive much airplay or attention by the time it was released due to the album already being a year old and its hype faded away.

Koch Records re-released an expanded edition of the album on August 28, 2007, featuring previously unreleased tracks such as "Lookin' At The Game", which features the late Stack Bundles.
