==Early life==
Jim Jones was born in The Bronx and was raised in Harlem. His mother, Nancy Jones, is Aruban and his late father, Joseph Guillermo Jones I was Puerto Rican and was raised mainly by his maternal grandmother. In an essay for ''Fader'' magazine, he stated that his mother would allow him to ride the train from their residence at 176th Street and Jerome Avenue to 110th Street and Lexington Avenue. He attended Catholic school but later began cutting church to loiter and play hooky at the train station. In ''Jim Jones' The Come Up'' DVD, Vol. 19, he tells his story about growing up with rapper Freekey Zekey. Jones claimed he would stay at a store a block from the church he attended, and would go in and hang out with the owner; when the owner left, Jones said he took all the money in the register and the candy and would sell it in school; he was later expelled.
