Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
Personnel: Jim Jones; 40 Caliber, Max B, P. Diddy, Paul Wall , T.K., J.R. Writer, Denise Weeks, Trey Songz, Hell Rell, Jha Jha, Juelz Santana, Latiff, Fatal Hussein, Cardan.
Recording information: Dreamsound Studios, Harlem, New York; Right Track, New York, New York (2005).
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").

Producer: Antwan "Amadeus" Thompson; Pete Rock; The Treblemakers; Zurc; Mayor; Kukhan; Develop; Jones Family; Beat Firm; Magoo; Hannon Lane; Watiz; Tuneheadz; Knoxville
