Dipset’s First Lady Jha Jha Dead at 40, Leaving a Lasting Mark on Harlem Hip-Hop​


The Dipset family has been dealt a massive blow following the news that Natoya Handy, better known as Jha Jha, has died.

At just 40 years old, the woman who famously held the title of “First Lady of Dipset” leaves behind a void in the heart of Harlem’s most iconic collective. The news has sparked an immediate wave of grief among those who followed her journey from the early 2000s to her more recent creative work.

Jha Jha was more than just a name on the roster; she was a true pioneer for women in a crew defined by its gritty, male-dominated energy.

She first caught the world’s attention with her appearance on “Diplomatic Immunity 2″ (2004) on the track “Get From Round Me,” standing tall alongside Cam’ron and Juelz Santana.

Her discography is filled with memorable moments that defined the ByrdGang and Diplomats era. Fans will remember her verses on “Sometimes” from “More Than Music Vol. 2” and her collaboration with Jim Jones and Max B on “Spit Ya Game.” She also appeared on Jim Jones’ hit “What You Been Drankin’ On?” alongside Diddy and Paul Wall.
 
RIP

A lot of folks dying before 55 man. It's crazy. I had a friend of mine passed away in December at 48 years old. It's wild. I'm 49 and a friend of mine was asking me today what I was going to do for my 50th. I hadn't really thought about it

Just tired of people dying so young
