Specifics - Lonely City


Year : 2004
Label : P-Vine
Genre : Hip Hop
Style : Jazzy Hip-Hop, Downtempo, Conscious

"Specifics" is a Canadian Hip-Hop band based in Montréal, formed by producer and sound engineer Phil Kennedy aka "Think Twice" featuring rapper Golden Boy & DJ Goser (cuts, scratches, adlibs). Out from the Think Twice's mind, "Lonely City" is a pure downtempo album with a soulful atmosphere including the finest cuts made by DJ Goser, while Golden Boy shines on the mic with poetic and conscious lyrics. Kennedy mostly uses various Jazz & Soul samples ("Bumpy's Lament" from Shaft by Isaac Hayes on "Patience") with some strings and bass materials (Craig's House), collaborated with japanese beatmaker Nujabes (Hyde Out Recordings) on "Under The Hood" production. All lyrics by Golden Boy, produced, recorded, mixed by Phil Kennedy except "Dreams", "Interlude" produced by DJ Goser. All lyrics by Golden Boy.
