Break out of the (beat) box and into the parallel universe of Pigeon John. Instros from RJD2, Chris James, DJ Rhettmatic, Great Jason and "The Black Jack Tripper", himself meet prose about Taco Bell, Filipino B-girls, drinking beer from a wine glass, listening to JJ Fad, copping Jordache jeans at the mall and a jalopy full of self-effacing humor. We dare you not to jump up on your office chair and yodel along as Pigeon John channels Fishbone on future highlight reel soundtrack, "Higher?!" Do Patron shots and colorful drinks get you shoeless on the dance floor? Throw your purse in the middle of the circle and dip it low to Rhettmatic's infectious "Freaks! Freaks!" It's the new Friday night anthem (even if it's only Tuesaday). Can't seem to find a place to set down your backpack? Well tighten up them straps and get bigger headphones, "One For The…" teams up Brother Ali, Pigeon and a whole lot of boom-bip to knock your head to.
Bottom line is we don't care if you wear girl pants, baggy pants or no damn pants at all, Pigeon John...And The Summertime Pool Party is your new soundtrack. In the words of PJ himself, "It's a Sammy Davis Jr. adventure. All thriller, no filler. Its bigger....def-fer....and right up your alley! "
