Search - Various Artists :: PJ's (Clean)

With The PJs--an animated TV series revolving around the residents of the Hilton Jacobs housing projects, starring the voice of Eddie Murphy--a modest hit, the powers that be decided to crank out a "soundtrack" to the show. In truth, the show, which aired just a handful of episodes prior to the album's release, is not music-heavy, but who could resist the merchandising? While the soundtrack boasts several commercially successful rap and R&B artists (Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, Timbaland, Destiny's Child and Snoop Dogg), the majority of tracks rest at a subpar level. Two exceptions include Raphael Saadiq and Q-Tip's soulful "Get Involved" and the Goodie Mob's "Hat Low," a bouncy, beat-saturated assault. And for the listeners who would consider back-to-back Bizzy and Krayzie B.O.N.E. songs ideal, The PJs soundtrack offers a delectable Bone Thugs-n-Harmony delight. --Celine Wong
