Pigeon John, 'Pigeon John...And the Summertime Pool Party' (Quannum)

Good-times hip-hop from college-rock nostalgic.

Pigeon John specializes in the same laidback slice-of-life observations as his Cali counterparts Blackalicious and Lyrics Born, but he's funnier and more self-effacing. His best nice-guy pickup line, as revealed in "Money Back Guarantee": "You look kind of sad, can I offer a tissue?"
