The PJ's cartoon has hit the airwaves this year, and now comes the soundtrack. It features quite an entourage of tunes, both from and inspired by the hit television series. The soundtrack revolves around the rap and R&B sound. It features such artists as Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, R.O.C., Timbaland, Snoop Dogg, Goodie Mob, Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone, Raekwon, Raphael Saadiq, Q-Tip, Destiny's Child and George Clinton.

PJs Soundtrack has already sparked videos for Infamous Syndicate's "Here I Go" and Raphael Saadiq's "Get Involved", which features Q-Tip and is definitely the best song on the album. Laid back, but bumpin. Infamous Syndicate's female duo heat it up with pumping lyrics. The soundtrack's other notable songs are: "The Ghetto" by Krayzie B.O.N.E., "Talkin Trash" by Timbaland, "Rapid Fire" by O.

Overall, this album was pretty impressive. A good diversity of Rap and R&B, as well as a variety of underground and mainstream artists. It's so hard to make a great soundtrack, but this soundtrack comes close.
