While Jim Jones's 2004 debut, ON THE WAY TO CHURCH, built a darkly surreal world befitting a man whose name and religious references recall a maniacal 1970s mass murderer, the Dipset member's second solo record, HARLEM: DIARY OF A SUMMER, is a bit disarming in its hooky brightness. In fact, the title-track ode to Jones's home neighborhood, with its breezy jazz hook and friendly spirit, is a positive beacon of light.
Jones's voice, dripping as it always is with a feeling of impending doom, pairs in a wonderfully grotesque way with the buoyant beats behind him, whether he's boasting over a heavy bass ("Baby Girl"), eulogizing atop a classic old-school beat ("Tupac Joint"), or rapping about a mix of desire and betrayal in a unique sample of the Isley Brothers' "Between the Sheets" ("Summer With Miami").

Alright.. This isn't his best CD, but ain't nobody out there going as hard as him, and for the record, everybody steals everybody's beats...if you can take someone elses beats and make a harder song, then do you!!!
