"Certified Gangstas" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Jim Jones, released as his solo debut single as well as the lead single from his debut solo studio album On My Way to Church. The song features vocals from Jay Bezel and Jones’ fellow Dipset cohort Cam'ron. The song reached number 80 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in the United States. Jones has said the song is an ode to West Coast hip hop legend Eazy-E's 1987 single, "Boyz-n-the-Hood", which the song samples.
