John Smith - Pinky's Laundromat Release date: May 2004 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada’s John Smith has become one of Canada’s most respected emcee’s in a few short years. Since his teamup with mcenroe for 2000’s Park-Like Setting project, his prolific output has earned him a fanbase across all of hip-hop’s fractured sub-genres. He returns to solo form with Pinky’s Laundromat, another concept album. He plays Smitty, tending shop at a laundromat in the city’s low rent area. Welcome to the world of small time crooks, greasy diners, minimum wage jobs and barstool tales with half truths. Pinky’s Laundromat features gritty realism and compelling storytelling, complete with plot twists and big payoffs in the third act. John Smith continues to polish his delivery, and has matured into a lethal combination of delivery, lyrics, flow, and songwriting. Pinky’s Laundromat shows all of this and more, over a dark yet banging soundscape built by mcenroe. Each of the 13 tracks has its own musical flavor to fit the mood and style of Smiths storytelling, and mcenroe lets the beat ride. The result is a head trip that sounds great in the jeep! Pinky’s Laundromat was recorded at mcenroe’s studio in Vancouver, BC in August of 2003. It was mixed and mastered by mcenroe in march of 2004. - Bonus “P&C Cribs - John Smith” featurette included on CD-ROM of this release in Quicktime format. Release Sheet: PDF |
